Penn, with a totally unexpected 1-2-3 sweep, picked up a large chunk of 41 points and gained 32 points on Harvard to tie the Crimson for second with 187 points apiece. Tom Wolf, after lowering his Harvard record to 1:57.343 in the afternoon heats in qualifying fourth, switched to the unfamiliar and questionably legal roll turns the other backstrokers were getting away with, but faded to sixth in the final with a disappointing...
