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.
The only excitement of the meet came in the 200-yard butterfly with the appearance of John Pringle, the only Harvard entrant is the event. Naturally, neither Brown swimmer could provide any competition, and both finished more than a full pool length behind Pringle. Pringle's effort, however, came within 1.2 seconds of breaking the Harvard record of 2:05.7 for the event.
Brown's lone individual first place came in the 100-yard freestyle. Bob Martin touched out the Crimson's Gregg Skalinder in 51.1. 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.
