Captain Chouteau Dyer is the Crimson's chief hope for points, and he is either favored or co-favored in both of the sprints. If he can win them both, the varsity might be able to finish as high as third. If he somehow gets shut out in them, however, the varsity would almost certainly fall out of the top ten teams...
...Dyer's best chance is in the 100-yard freestyle, where his listed time of 49.0 is 0.8 seconds better than that of any other entrant.

Griffith J. Winthrop '58, of Winthrop House and Canandiagua, N.Y., succeeded H. Chouteau Dyer as captain of the Crimson swimming team. He swam during part of the season on the 400-yard freestyle relay team...

This time Dyer got an excellent start, and the smooth-stroking senior led all the way to win by a body length in the meet-record time of 49.4. Keiter, who was clocked in 50.8, finished half a length ahead of Yale's fading sprint star, Rex Aubrey...
