Varsity Tops Navy 67-17; Falk Breaks Own Record

Sigo Falk broke his own record for the 200-yard breaststroke Saturday as the varsity swimming team easily held a tired Navy to one first place and two seconds in a 67 to 17 victory. Falk's 2:34.8 bettered his 2:36.6 of the Crimson's last meet on January 15.

Alan Rapperport showed marked improvement as he clocked the Crimson's fastest 200-yard backstroke of the season, 2:34.8. Jim Jorgenson swam his best 220 freestyle of the year, 2:10.6, and Rapperport, Falk, and Jon Lind combined for the Crimson's top 300-yard medley relay of the season with a 3:01 time.

John Martin gave Navy its one win in the 440 freestyle race. The failure, however, of Navy's aces Chuck Gray and Paul slack to beat a single Crimson swimmer testified to the strain on the visitors of travelling to Cambridge after a close loss to Dartmouth, 44-40, the day before.

Yardlings Lose

gray threatened to take a second in the 100 freestyle until Chouteau Dyer pulled ahead of him in the last 25 yards to place by four feet. The only other close race was also for second place as Pete Mackey beat Midshipman Slack by five feet with a burst of speed in the last lap of the 150 individual medley.

Exeter gave the Yardling swimming team its first loss Saturday afternoon in a close 39-36 meet at Exeter. The Yardlings won only he 100-yard breaststroke, the 200-yard freestyle relay, and the diving.

The nest varsity contest is an away meet with Springfield on Feb.9.
