...HESS YNTEMA is back. Yntema, who in an astounding freshman year, defying the laws of age and experience, shattering the myths of Harvard impotence on a national scale, plunging, stroking, paddling through hour after hour, day after day of endless practices, traipsing in at early hours for morning work and again in afternoons for evening tune-up, zeroing in with the unfaltering regularity of a computerized missle, pursuing the ultimate target, the final goal, the quintessential achievement with the relentlessness of that missle, propelling up and down his 25-yard aquatic domain throughout the year, established himself as the premier...

Although he had been pointing towards the nationals all season long, Yntema's performances...
...specialist. A good crop of incoming freshmen will strengthen an area already quite adequate. The continued improvement of sophomore Mike Cook--who should get the "comeback performance of the year" award after making an extremely difficult return to competition after a year's absence--and the availability of Yntema in the freestyles made the Crimson's 800-yd. free relay a top notch unit this season and it should be considerably faster next year...
