...Neville became the first Harvard swimmer to reach the consolation finals in the meet as he recorded a 21.237 clocking in the heats of the 50-yd. freestyle to qualify 11th in the event. In the evening consolations, Neville lowered his own University record to 21.197 and moved up a notch to finish in tenth place overall, good for three points...
ROBERT GOOD'S metaphor may be mixed, but it is apt. As a swimmer in an ocean of organisms, man must have a means of identifying and resisting the ones that can harm or kill him. The major mechanism that does this, and enables man to survive, is the immune system, designed by nature to quickly recognize, attack and destroy any foreign matter that enters the body. The system is complex and depends for its function on a wide variety of highly specialized substances. Its main agents are cells called lymphocytes, which are produced by the so-called "stem...
...swimmer well knows, it is extremely difficult to continue to swim faster times after shaving a couple of times, especially in such a pressure situation as existed at West Point, but Don Gambril's eight (the only Crimson swimmers who scored points in the meet) managed the impossible. By comparison, North Carolina State, which had shaved and peaked for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship the week before, failed to match its times in most cases but, relying on its depth and diving, it was just too much in the end for Harvard...

The biggest reason for the Quakers' success had to be the superlative performance of senior Bob Atkinson, the only man to win three races and by a wide margin top individual the swimmer at the meet.

Hess Yntema, perhaps the most talented swimmer to come to Harvard since world-record holder Steve Krause, holds down the top spot in the 200-yd. butterfly as he has all season, but his first place chances might be jeopardized by the fact that he is waiting to shave down until the Nationals at Knoxville, Tenn. a week from now. John Craig will have to drop another second or two to score in the event...
