Harvard took over second place again after the next event, the 100-yd. butterfly. After breaking Tim Neville's Harvard record in the afternoon preliminaries with a 51.101 clocking, Hess Yntema swam a very strong race in the finals to finish second, lowering his own record to a fast 50.89. Bob Meade of Cornell, who had lost to Yntema on judges decisions the two previous times they had met in championship competition, made no doubt about who had won this time as he set a new Eastern record with a 50.180 clocking...
Harvard placed two men in the finals of the next event, the 200-yd. individual medley. Dave Brumwell lowered his University record in the event to a fast 1:57.416 in the heat, while teammate Hess Yntema moved into the evening final with a 1:58.554 performance...
Penn's Bob Atkinson, who had broken the Eastern record in the event in his afternoon trial, shaved a few more fractions of a second off that mark in winning the evening's final in 1:55.006.

Yntema swam the best time of his career at 1:57.622 while Brumwell faded just a bit but still swam second best in his career with a 1:57.759 clocking...
...Crimson 400-yd. medley relay qualified third for the evening final with a new school record 3:33.421 performance, with the team of Tom Wolfe, Dave Brumwell, Hess Yntema, and Fred Mitchell dropped down to sixth in the final although it virtually equalled its time in the trial with a 3:33.8 performance...
...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.
