Wrestling
2-8; 1-5 Ivy
It was a disappointing year for the grapplers. There were injuries to a number of starters, but a couple of freshmen are expected to propel the team back into Ivy contention next year.
Fencing
7-8; 0-5 Ivy
As in wrestling, the major news is the future. Harvard has two good freshman swordsmen and it is possible that the team could compete for national titles next Winter.
Swimming
6-4
It was a year like most of the past several years for Bill Brooks's swimmers. Even with All-East 3-meter diving champ Billy Murphy (who was injured in the Yale meet) the team couldn't stay with Yale, Dartmouth or Army. But led by Pete Adams and Bill Shrout, the Crimson came within a relay of upsetting a strong, deep Princeton team..Again, there are several good freshmen coming up to the varsity in 1960.
Squash
12-0
The Harvard squash team won all the honors at the National Intercollegiate Championships in 1968. Anil Nayar beat teammate Larry Terrell in the finals and Captain Rick Sterne beat Jose Gonzalez in the consolation finals. Coach Jack Barnaby is losing several seniors and Princeton, which is recruiting heavily, may be the team of the future. Next year will be a challenge.
Lacrosse
9-5; 3-3 Ivy, fourth
Sophomore John Ince won the Ivy League scoring title and joined Mike Ananis on the All-League team but Harvard couldn't do any better than a fourth-place tie with Brown. The Crimson lacked staying power for the most part--depth, especially at midfield, was a problem. Marty Cain, Captain Tom Nicosia and Jim Kilkowski were superb as front-line strength, but whenever they rested, Harvard had trouble. Best game of the year was a come from behind 10-9 upset of Princeton. The season was the best since 1964.
