A crowd of 1600 at the IAB and several hundred more at a Sanders Theatre closed-circuit television showing will witness today's Harvard-Yale swimming meet.
The varsity meet starts at 4 p.m., preceded by a freshman contest at 2:30 p.m. Only the varsity meet, which will decide the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Championship, will be televised to Sanders Theatre.
By yesterday afternoon only 250 undergraduates had purchased tickets at $1 apiece to the TV showing.
The capacity crowd at the IAB will include 1000 standees, 50 working pressmen, several film cameramen, and 400 Yale rooters. The meet will be filmed by movie newsreels and by the Harvard and Yale Departments of Athletics.
