Varsity Meet 4 p.m.

Freshman Meet 2 p.m.

In late summer, 1964, millions of Americans watched over Telstar as Don Schollander won four swimming gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. This afternoon Harvard fans can watch the phenom in the flesh when he leads unbeaten Yale into the IAB.

At Tokyo, Schollander outclassed the rest of the world in the 100, 200, and 400-meter freestyle events and anchored the U.S. team to victory in the free relay. Last Saturday, in a crucial meet against Princeton, he showed he was a fast as ever.

The 5 ft. 11 in. "golden boy" won the 500-yd freestyle, swam a leg of the free relay and turned in a swift 51.2 clocking for the butterfly leg of the medley relay. Yale took both relays and churned to its 13th straight win.

The night before the Princeton meet, Schollander had expressed a slight concern about its outcome. Straight through the dark passageway connecting the swimming locker room to the Yale training table, Schollander mentioned a few of the toughest Tigers but then smiled confidently as he thought of his own powerful team.

Besides Schollander the Elis have seven sub-1:50 200-yd. freestylers -- enough to stock most countries' Olympic teams. Sprinter Mike Ahearn ranks with the nation's best. In a recent relay, he roared through 100 yards in 46.3 -- 1.7 seconds under the Harvard record.

Unnameably Numerous

There's no point in naming all the great Yale performers. Eli coach Phil Moriarity has so much depth and talent that superstars like Schollander will probably be called on for only one event this afternoon.

Schollander sat down to his training table meal of roast beef and marble cake, and told why he has continued swimming--this is his 12th year of practice.

"It would have been really easy for me to quit after the Olympics," he said, "but I wanted to prove that I could do what other champions couldn't -- stay on top for more than two or three years."

The reduced athletic emphasis of Ivy schools -- even one so much in the swim as Yale -- is bound to hinder Schollander in his quest for future Olympic medals. At the University's of Southern California, for example, they spend four hours a day in the pool.

"I get in no more than two hours a day," the world recorder-holder at 200 meters explained, "but I came to college to learn not to swim. A life of absolute swimming is behind me."

To make up for the practice time he loses during the winter, Schollander spends his summers training with the famed Santa Clara Youth Village swim team. His performance in last year's Amateur Athletic Union meets showed the value of his California summers.
