Since Yale's ace freestylers Rex Aubrey and captain Dave Armstrong (who has also reported ill) could not compete yesterday without cutting so many classes as to become ineligible for the N.C.A.A. championships later this month, the Elis' record-setting relay combination was not in the Easterns...
Brightest prospect for the Crimson will be captain Chouteau Dyer in the 50-yard freestyle. In addition to Yale's Dave Armstrong and Rex Aubrey, both of whom finished behind Dyer's 22.2 in last week's Yale meet, Bob Keiter of Amherst, who reportedly has done 22.3, should offer Dyer, hard competition. The 50 being what it is, prediction among these four is meaningless...
...unofficially, the Elis have several men who have equalled or bettered this time. On the record-breaking relay mentioned above, the unofficial 100 yard splits credited Jecko with a 48.4, Anderson with a 48.6, and Armstrong with...
Ironically, the worst split on the relay was recorded by Aubrey, supposedly the Elis leading sprinter and holder of the present Yale record at 49.0. It seems likely, however, that Kiphuth will throw his ace, and perhaps Armstrong, against Dyer, for he makes a practice of loading the events in which he expects tough competition. John Lind or Ron Mischner will have the dubious pleasure of swimming in the same race...
...yard freestyle should see pretty much the same personnel and should be equally exciting. Aubrey turned in a 22.1 to tie for first place in the nationals last year, and must be slightly favored over Dyer whose Harvard record is 22.3, and over Armstrong, who did a 22.4 earlier this season. Roger Clifton or Lind will probably be the other Crimson entrant...
