LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
A surprising Columbia swimming team took the first three events against Crimson second-liners here Saturday, but Harvard coach Bill Brooks rudely popped the Lion bubble by turning loose his top performers in the next seven races to give his squad a 54-40 victory.
Henry Frey and Joe Stetz started the Crimson ball rolling with a sweep of the 200-yard individual medley. Dan Mahoney scored 79.63 points to take the dive. Harry Turner won the 200-yard butterfly in 2:12.9, with Stetz taking second for the Crimson.
Crimson String Broken
Lion sophomore Charlie Hamilton broke the Harvard string with a victory in the 100-yard freestyle, but Crimson swimmers followed that interruption with sweeps of the next three events to sew up the victory. Earl Showerman and Al Lincoln took the 200-yard backstroke; Dave Abramson and Bob Meredith finished one-two in 500-yard freestyle, and Bruce Fowler and Porky Pitts scored in the 200-yard breastroke.
