...significantly over last season. Coach Joe Bernal's Crimson, aware of the incredible depth that has brought the Tigers six straight Eastern crowns, has fortified its strengths (distance freestyle, individual medley) with the addition of freshmen high school all-Americans Tim Maximoff and Jack Gauthier. Harvard's second year mentor also made up for the loss of last year's standout captain Duncan Pyle by lassoeing national-caliber backstroker Ron Raikula for inclusion in Harvard's historic "Back Pack...
