Harvard Tops Cornell, 58-37, In Swim Meet

The Crimson won 8 firsts out of 11 events, barely losing the opening medley relay.

Neville Hayes, Pete Adams and Bob Corris and Bill Shrout each captured two events. Hayes won the 200-yard fly in 2:05.3, Adams finished first in the 500-yard freestyle in 5:16, and Corris took the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:20.

Shrout won the 100-and-200-yard freestyles and anchored the winning freestyle relay. Corris also won the 200-yard individual relay.

Flye for Two

It was Harvard's fifth win against two losses, and Cornell absorbed its fourth loss to drop way down in the League standings. The Crimson swimmers stand fifth behind Army, Princeton, Yale, and Navy.

Next Saturday will be the biggest day of the year in Harvard swimming. Princeton will bring its powerful varsity and freshman squads to the IAB, and both matches should be close.

This year, the Tigers have their strongest team ever, and they dumped Harvard last season. The freshman meet begins at 2 p.m.; the varsity starts at 4 p.m.

The Harvard freshmen, who did not compete against Cornell, have a chance to tune up for Princeton in a match with Exeter on Wednesday.

Harvard swimmers dumped Cornell, 58 to 37, at Ithaca Saturday.
