Harvard Students To Vote on Divestment From Israel in Inaugural HUA Election Survey
The Junior and Freshman classes tied for first honors in the Fall Handicap Meet on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, having 35 points each. 1922 and 1924 stood third with 14 points each. With this meet the University fall season closes, but on Monday a gymnasium class for all Freshmen interested in track will start in the Hemenway Gymnasium. The growing darkness, together with the cold, somewhat hindered the runners and made good records impossible.
F. G. Bemis '22, the University cross-country captain, won the mile after a well-judged race. Campbell Newhall '24 placed second, while C. L. Bond 4E.S., of the 1930 track team, finished third. W. J. Burke '23, starting at scratch, made a good showing but was unable to over-come his handicap.
Joshua Epotain '22 and W. C. Bennett '23 were the outstanding performers in the quarter-mile, the former winning the event and the latter coming up from the rear for second place. The 65-yard high hurdles proved the closest race. C. R. Hauers '23, who won the hurdle event in last year's meet with Yale, running at scratch, broke the tape. W. B. Thomas '25 and J. P. Monks '24, with small handicaps, finished second and third respectively almost alongside of Hauers.
