NOVEL MEET OPENS TRACK SEASON TODAY

University and Freshman track prospects for 1924 will be greatly clarified this afternoon by the showing made in the opening meet of the winter season against the strong M. I. T. runners. Six relay races for each squad make up the schedule for the meet which will begin at 2.30 at Soldiers' Field.

A strictly relay meet is an innovation in Harvard track and will give Coach Farrell a chance to size up his material under pressure.

The feature of the meet should be the University medley relay. With Allen and Watters, stars in the Oxford Cambridge meet last summer, and prospective entrants in the Olympic this year, running with Chase and Cutcheon, both stellar performers in past meets, Coach Farrell has a combination which ought to break records.

The following men will run:
