Last year, when the Crimson defeated Joe Watmough's squad by a resounding 61 to 23 tally, Cameron was the only Bruin to win a first place. He had to break a Brown record in the 220 free-style to do it. Brisco was submerged twice by Dave Hedberg--who will be swimming against him today, incidentally--and Wills lost the medley as Marv Sandler broke a Harvard College record to gain first place. Sandler will also be swimming today...
...Watmough's Providence varsity has a two-and-four record to date. The Bruins have defeated M.I.T. and Columbia, and lost to Army, Navy, Williams, and Yale. Harvard defected Navy ten days...
...Watmough lost freestylers Duncan Gray and Bob Barlow through graduation last spring, but gained a fine sophomore sprinter in Ralph Brisco. Brisco has already broken the Brown records in the 50 and 100, with times of 23.4 and 52.4, respectively. Harvard's Dave Hedberg, however, has been under Brisco's time in the 50 several times this season...
...only other strong contender Watmough has is Otto Pfannkuch, who will finish second to Harvard's Pete Dillingham in the dive. But with Hedberg in the 100 and/or the 220, Dick Fouquet and Mary Sandler in the 440, Charlie Egan in the individual medley, Don Mulvey, who broke a record in Dartmouth's Spaulding Pool, in the backstroke, Ken Emerson and Ralph Zani in the breaststroke, and two strong relays, the Crimson should take first in at least eight of the ten events...
Although the Bruins furnished the strongest competition to date, the contest was not so close as the score would indicate. Harvard handed Joe Watmough's Brown squad a gift of 12 points by disqualifying in the two relays, both of which the Crimson unofficially won. Freestyler Ronnie Huebsch jumped too early in the 300-yard medley relay and Phil Pratt seconded the motion in the 400-yard relay...
