The varsity swimming team will meet a weak M.I.T. squad tonight at 8 p.m. in the I.A.B. pool.
Favored to win most of the events except the backstroke, the Crimson will probably use the meet to sharpen up for the rest of the season.
Captain Chouteau Dyer will pass up his best event, the 50-yard freestyle, to compete in the 100 and the 200. He should win both events fairly easily.
Swimming with him in the 100 will be Jon Lind, Rodger Clifton, or Ron Mischner. In the 220, last year's Freshman captain Dic Seaton is the likely Crimson entrant.
A new event, the 200-yard butterfly, has replaced the old 200 individual medley this year. A much-improved sophomore, John Hammond, will probably get the call for the event.
M.I.T.'s greatest strength lies in the 200-yard backstroke, where the Crimson entrants must rate as underdogs. Two from the trio of John Trainer, Bill Murray, and Grif Winthrop will compete for Harvard.
In the 200 breaststroke Sigo Falk and either Dave Falk or Bill Hoadley will probably swim.
