Bob Brawner of Princeton fell far short of his world and intercollegiate records, but he won the 200-yard breaststroke easily in 2:22.4. Aaron Kurtzman of Seton Hall was a surprise second place finisher. Frank Bruch of Dartmouth bulled his way into third, ahead of Elis Bill Osborne and Stan Smith.
Dillingham, Hadlich, Manheim, and Connor step up to the three-meter board at 9:30 a.m. to open the final day of competition. Hadlich is the defending champion here, as he was on the low board.
Thomas and Thoman renew their backstroke fend at 2:30 p.m. in the 100-yard eliminations. Steinhart is a strong favorite for third, along with Navy's Boyd Johnson.
Brawner will be after more than his second victory of the meet in the 100-yard breaststroke. He won the intercollegiate record last year, and now he is aiming for the world mark. Yale Star Smith, Trinity's Ray Parrott, Union's Bob Diamond, Aaron Kurtzman of Setan Hall, and Frank Bruch of Dartmouth of have a good chance to squeeze Harvard's Emerson and Rene Vielman out of the finals.
In the 100-yard freestyle, the scwabble will be for sixth place. Nugent of Ruggers should beat one of the four Elis, Farnsworth, Munson, Reid, and Sheff, but nobody else can. Huebsch, McNamara, Pratt, and Stroud are the Harvard entries.
Those Same Yalles
Yale and Army may sweep the 440-yard freestyle. Marshall, Moore, and McLane obviously should place one-two-three for Yale. The fourth Eli, Frank Chamberlain, will battle Craigie, Joe Knittle, and Dexter Smith of Army. Harvard's Berke and Jones of Williams are the remaining two most likely to break into the finals. Crimson sophomore Dick Fouquot is the second Harvard competitor.
Coach Hal Ulen has not entered Harvard in the 150-yard individual medley, where Thomas of North Carolina and Thoman of Yale are the heavy favorites.
Big Three Relay Fight
The final event of the meet, the 300-yard medley relay, will be a Big Three battle. Steinbart, Emerson, and Hedberg set a Harvard record for the race two weeks ago against Dartmouth, but Hedberg was obviously saving himself for two more sprints later that afternoon.
