Moving to the specialty strokes, Harvard has some good scoring potential in every race. Dave Brumwell, undefeated in the 200-yd. breast, is ranked number one in the event, and when he shaves this weekend he could be unbeatable. Brumwell is also number one ranked in the 200-yd. individual medley, and he could take another first there.

The 200-yd. backstroke should be all Charlie Campbell of Princeton, as the NCAA champion should win easily. Tom Wolfe, ranked second, must face a tough experienced field, but he could place high in the event.

Hess Yntema, perhaps the most talented swimmer to come to Harvard since world-record holder Steve Krause, holds down the top spot in the 200-yd. butterfly as he has all season, but his first place chances might be jeopardized by the fact that he is waiting to shave down until the Nationals at Knoxville, Tenn. a week from now. John Craig will have to drop another second or two to score in the event.

The three relays should be an area of Harvard strength. The 400-yd. medley is presently ranked third, but a number one team has yet to be assembled and it is anybody's guess where it will end up in the final.

The 400-yd. free relay contingent holds down second place ranking, and could place anywhere in the top five, while the 800-yd. free quartet has definite first-place possibilities.

"We're going into a championship meet without much depth, and the team with depth starts moving up in a meet of this kind," head coach Don Gambril said Tuesday. "We're going hopefully to improve on last year's fifth place finish, and we'd like to win some events." The way the team has performed thus far this season, these goals seem to be quite within Harvard's reach.
