In the first of these, the 200-yd. butterfly, Princeton placed four men in the top 12 to pick up 28 points. The event was not as disastrous for Harvard as it could have been, however, as Yale's muscular Mark DeVore overtook the Tigers' defending champion Bill Specht in the last 50 yards to rob the leaders of three points. Harvard's Dan Menichella provided a small boost by finishing 11th.
Mr. Clutch
Then Harvard's Mr. Clutch, senior diver Mike Toal, absolutely dazzled the crowd with three flawless dives to capture the three-meter diving crown. Toal received a standing ovation, and a nine from one judge, for his final dive. Harvard's Steve Schramm, Jamie Greacen and Craig Gavin finished fifth, seventh and tenth, respectively, to bring their team within two before the thrilling finale.
