...night. I caused defending champion Pete Dillingham to muff his second-last dive in high board competition and finish third behind Navy's Owen Davies and Yale's Ken Welch. It slowed up the Harvard players and added a second to the times of individual medleyist Mary Sandler and sprinter John McNamara, who were eliminated in the trial heats...
...Emerson and sprinter Dave Hedberg still managed to turn in pleasing performances. Emerson, besides swimming with the fourth-place medley relay trio in both the trial and final, tied for sixth in the qualifying rounds of the 100 yard breaststroke with Adelphi's Gary Kieler, and managed to edge Kieler by one foot in a swim-off.

The Crimson's top sprinter, however, paced himself too carefully in the 100, which might have been a four-way tie as far as the 400 onlookers could determine. Time...
