...Cahalan swam within .2 seconds of the freshman record in the 50-free to tie an Eli for first. For Munk, however, a Harvard record time of 1:57.3 in the 200-fly, was not good enough. He was edged out in the last part of the race by Yale's Paul Katz who broke a national freshman record with a 1:57.1. Still the Yardlings lost to the Elis...
Schollander can swim almost any event and it is still uncertain where he will compete today. He holds the American record of 1:41.2 for the 200-yard freestyle. Against Dartmouth on February 17, he swam in the 1000-yard free for the first time and set a Yale record of 10:17.4. By contrast the Harvard record, set by Bill Shrout last Saturday against Cornell...
...Kauffmann left, but this year was a little more encouraging. Birch, like Adams, had the ability to produce under pressure. Against Army, he won his event to keep Crimson hopes alive, and against Princeton his surprising second foiled a Tiger attempt to take the lead. In both meets he swam over his head to keep the team's chances alive...

With the exception of the Dartmouth meet where the Big Green, inspired by the rarity of females present in Hanover for the Winter Carnival, swamped the Crimson, Harvard has had an exciting season...

Shrout, Adams, and John Bragg all swam in two events in addition to the crucial final relay. Shrout would swim the gruelling 500-yard freestyle and one event later the relay. The effort was always too much, and in the Princeton and Army meets the larger, better balanced team won. But not by much. Today, unfortunately, it will probably be much...
