Neville, who had not swum a butterfly race all year, added a first in the consolation final of the event to a second in the 50-yd. free yesterday, as he recorded a fine time of 51.333. The 2-7 Harvard finish, good for 21 points, gave the Crimson a 111-109 lead over North Carolina State...
...team of Fred Mitchell, Mike Cook, Hess Yntema, and Rich Baughman chopped a whopping twelve seconds off the old Harvard record of 7:10, with a superlative 6:58.709 performance.

Mao was reported by his hagiographers to have swum nine miles in 65 minutes-a lot better than last week's youngsters, who climbed out after a mere two-thirds of a mile...
