...Cadets, who fell to Harvard 77-36 last winter, are weakest in the sprint freestyles, and the individual medley, two areas of Crimson strength. They may, like Navy, fail to win a single swimming event. The Harvard freestyle strength was on display against the Midshipman, as Captain Fred Mitchell, Tim Nevillie, Hess Yatems, and Rich Baughman all won at least one race.

Displaying overwhelming strength is almost every race, the Crimson took 10 of 13 first points, five 1-2 sweeps, and won every individual swimming event on the program.

...Wolf appears to have field a Harvard weakness in the backstroke as the freshman turned in a fine medley relay leg before breaking the University record in the 200-yd. bach with a 2:02.4.

The loss of freestyler Steve Baird, who has taken a year off, has hurt the 400-yd. freestyle relay, and Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Penn return top-flight medley teams. "We'll have to make up for this by taking a lot of points in the individual events," Gambrill said yesterday...
