...Crimson's best swimmers will probably be too much for the Big Red. Captain Fred Mitchell is again favored in the 200-yd. free, Dave Brumwell should lead a Harvard sweep in the 200-yd. breastroke, while either Brumwell or Hess Yntema could take the 200-yd. individual medley easily. Tom Wolfe, the Harvard record holder, is another favorite in the 200-yd. backstroke...
...swims by freshman Hess Yntema were particularly outstanding. His time of 49.9 in the butterfly leg of the relay was excellent considering his unfamiliarity with the turns in the Tiger pool. In the 200-yd. butterfly Yntema lowered his school record time to 1:55.0, which should put him back among the top ten in the nation. And in the 200-yd. backstroke he was robbed of yet another Harvard record by some confusion among the official timers...
Dave Brumwell, who has been living partially in Yntema's shadow after being the top individual star of the team in his freshman year, is having a great season. He came back Saturday to regain his 200-yd. individual medley crown with a very good 1:58.8, and continued to swim midseason 2:14+ 200-yd. breaststrokes he only attained at the very end of last season...
Harvard, on the other hand, has some superlative swimmers of its own to counter Princeton's Campbell and Haydon. Freshman Hess Yntema, almost as versatile a performer as Campbell, appears to be a sure bet in his specialty, the 200-yd. butterfly. And unless Campbell swims the IM, Yntema should win that race as well. Sophomore breastroker Dave Brumwell will have to equal his Dartmouth time of 2:14.6 in the 200-yd. breast, but he should win the event. Sprint freestyler Tim Neville is the favorite in the 50-yd. free as well...
...moment, however, Harvard has the best times in the East in four events, second in four, third in three and fourth in four. Yntema accounts for three of the four top times, with Brumwell the other...
