...even more remarkable was Rick's performance in the 440 later in the evening. He was timed in 4:52.4, the same as Yaleman Choutean's winning time, so close was he to the Blue Sophomore at the finish rope. The race between the two was one of the closest over witnessed in the Payno Whitney Pool. At no time during the 17 1/2 laps was there more than a foot's difference between their outstretched arms. Cutler managed to maintain an influltesimal lead for the greater part of the race, but after his 16th lap turn, which was slower...
...points during the meet. He is slated to swim the 220 and the 440, and ought to press Yale's topnotch free-styler, Howie Johnson, to the limit in the furlong, while in the quarter-mile he should encounter no serious opposition from Rene Chouteau. Tonight's contest is Rick's last dual meet for Harvard...

If the contest is swum at all according to form, Cutler and his mates will have around 21 points to Princeton's 28 going into the 440. In this event, Ulen will probably withdraw Rick, saving him to bolster Harvard's already favored 400-yard relay team, thus virtually guaranteeing his men the seven final points which, added to whatever Ed Hewitt and Torpedo Van Vort can collect in the 171/2 lap grind, will place the Crimson in the admirable position of having scored the most...
