Thus far this season Coach Hal Ulen's predictions about his team's fortunes have usually been exactly as the outcome. Occasionally, as with Springfield, he overestimated the capabilities of the opposition, but he can usually predict the final score with remarkable accuracy.

He said the Dartmouth meet would be the Crimson's toughest, and the varsity lost in the final relay. This week the team faces Princeton Saturday night at 8:30 at the I.A.B. Ulen has predicted that the varsity should take the Tigers without much trouble, and all indications second this opinion.

Princeton has but one good swimmer, Bob Gibbon, who swims the 100-yard freestyle and possibly either the 220 or 440-yard freestyles. He has done the 100 in 53.7, which is about the same time that Koni Ulbrich and Tom Cochran perform. Diver Al Routh is also a threat to defeat the Crimson's Greg Stone.

Hammond III

With these exceptions, the Tigers should pose little difficulty. John Hammond, outstanding in the 200-yard butterfly stroke, is ill and will definitely be out of action. Ulen wants to be sure that Hammond will be in top shape for the Brown meet next week. However, Princeton's Larsen swims this event in only 2:32, and Jim Perilman should be able to top this. The Crimson should easily take the rest of the events, making use of their depth in the other positions.

Ulen said that he probably would use many reserves in order to let more men swim and give first stringers a rest.
