Yntema, for whom the regular season and the Eastern title meet were merely warmups for the untimate and true challenge, who set records nearly every time he pulled on his sleek and brief pinstirped trunks and slid into the pool, who maintained a composure and dedication befitting someone far in advance of his years, who never wavered from his supreme and awesome committment, in the culminating and most fulfilling act of his swimming endeavor, came home from the NCAA championships in Tennessee with a third place bronze medal in the 200 yd. butterfly.

...sleek blue and white Soviet IL-62 jet descended circling out of the hazy blue sky, touched down lightly and taxied toward a welcoming band of West German officials led by Chancellor Willy Brandt. Black, gold and red West German flags and red and gold Soviet banners snapped in the breeze as the guard of honor clicked to attention, steel-tipped black boots at the prescribed 45-degree angle. Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev strode down the steps, shook hands with Brandt and stood at attention as a Bundeswehr band played the two nations' anthems...
