Varsity Faces Eastern Swim Stars at Yale

After racking up a team record of five wins and four losses for the season, a select group of Hal Ulen's swimmers left Cambridge yesterday afternoon for New Haven, where they will shoot for individual honors this weekend in the Eastern Intercollegiate swimming championships.

Making the competition stiffer will be entrants from such strong outfits as Williams and Rutgers as well as the eight regular teams of the Eastern circuit. According to Coach Ulen these two should finish second and third in the informal team totals behind the Yale powerhouse.

No Action Today

According to the best predictions, the Varsity operators will be taking things easy in their Hotel Taft headquarters today as Ulen was doubtful that he would have any men in the 50, and 220-freestyle, the 150-yard backstroke, and the medley relay. Divers Bob Aaron, Tom Drohan and Pete Steffens, however, will be on the low board this morning.

Tomorrow will see the Crimson fleet take to the water in the 440-yard freestyle, the 100-yard sprint, and the 200-yard breast stroke. John Watkins in the 100, Jerry Gorman, Forbes Norris, and Larry Mine in the quarter. Chuck Hoelzer in his butterfly specialty, and the three divers, this time from the three meter height, are slated to make up the Crimson card.

Battle for Points

Unlike the procedure in dual meets, places in this swimming convention decrease to one point for fifth. Facing the cream of the Eastern crop, and some strong national contenders, Ulen is expecting only Jerry Gorman in the 440, and Bob Aaron in the dive, to break through for points.

Pressure of work forces Bill MacVicar, Norm Watkins, and Walt Bullard, three of the strongest Crimson men, to remain behind after their heavy contributions during the dual meet compaign.
