Swimmers Coast to Win Over Weak Bruin Squad

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Brown was only two events as the varsity swimming team drowned the hapless Bruins in a 62-33 deluge last night at the L.A.B. Crimson coach Bill Brooks experimented freely with his juniors and sophomores in a meet which the Crimson won as easily as Ted Kennedy won a Senate seat.

The Brown meet traditionally provides a breather before Yale, but the varsity hardly had to breathe deeply to beat the weak Brown squad.

Last week, Martin set a New England Intercollegiate Swimming Association record of 1:41.2 in the 160-yard medley relay against Springfield. The Bruins also won the freestyle relay.

Ed and Bill Chadsey set the pace for the evening by sweeping the 200-yard freestyle for the Crimson in a winning time of 1:59.0. Dennis Hunter followed with a :23.1 victory in the 50-yard freestyle and captain Alan Engelberg easily took the 200-yard individual medley in 2:13.7.

Henry Frey set a new 400-yard freestyle mark of 4:04.7, Bruce Fowler swam a record 100-yard breaststroke and the freestyle relay team of Paul Eric and John Quinn 200-yard relay record of .
