Swimmers Will Meet M.I.T. Team Tonight

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The varsity swimming team should have no difficulty defeating a perennially weak M.I.T. squad in the first home meet at 8 p.m. in the I.A.B. pool tonight. Acting coach Bill Brooks does not expect a repeat of last year's perfect 72-8 score, since the Engineers are undefeated in this season's three outings.

Nevertheless, Brooks stated that "I do feel we can take them." Fresh from an impressive win over Army last week, the Crimson will use essentially the same team that it started against the Cadets. Brooks mentioned the possibility of switching sophomore spinter Bruce Hunter from his normal 50 and 100-yard freestyle position to anchor man on both the medley and freestyle relays.

But Brooks emphasized that such changes would not be known definitely until the time of the meet. The varsity will be strong in the breast and backstrokes, with Jim Stanley and Doug McCartney forming a strong nucleus in the former event and Gary Pildner showing himself to be a very improved backstroker.
