Adams also swam the third leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay. Harvard qualified for the finals yesterday afternoon, breaking another record with a 3:15.7 performance. Adams hung up his fastest 100-yard split, 48.5 seconds. Jim Seubold led off in 50.4 seconds, a time he should lower in the finals against Yale and Navy. Phil Chase followed in 48.4 seconds, finally reaching the stardom long predicted for him Bill Shrout anchored the quarter--which avenged losses to Army and Princeton--in 48.4 seconds...
Neville Hayes swam his fastest time of the year (1:57.6) but was unable to beat North Carolina's Olympian Phil Riker in the 200-yard butterfly. Hayes did not leave the starting blocks until the other finalists hit the water, but he nearly caught Riker midway through the race. However, Riker had too much left and held off a tired Hayes to win by two feet 1:56.9. It was a heartbreaker. Hayes, despite his poor start, was still able to hold off Yale's Bill Mettler for the second race in a row. It was Hayes' first loss...
...medley relay, John Wurster, Grant Hammond, Tony Obst, and Tom Pringle swam a 1:53.5, beating Kirkland by nearly a body-length. Walter Keats, Tom Pringle, Jeff Dundon and anchor Richard Blumenthal did a 1:36.7--average splits of 24 plus--to win by over half the pool...
...Corris has an obsession. He wants to whip Yale's Mike Buckley in the 200-yard breaststroke even though Buckley swam the fastest time in the East this winter, 2:12.9, which was 8.8 seconds faster than the record Corris set against Princeton. Corris, however, has not been pushed all year and has plenty of tenacity over the last 100. Look for him to stay a yard of Buckley's 1:03 plus pace for the first 100, churn into the lead with about 50 yards to go, and eke out the upset of the afternoon in record time...
...Corris, formally a starter in the 200-yard breaststroke, led off the 400-yard freestyle relay, failing through his leg in a fast 50.4 seconds. However, Corris will return to the more familiar individual medley or his spot in the 200-yard breaststroke. Sophomore record-holder Bill Shrout only swam in one event against Penn, the 50-yard sprint, which he won handily. However, Brooks will use him in the 100-yard freestyle, one of his specialties, and possibly as anchor man in the 400-yard freestyle relay...
