CRIMSON PINS HOPES ON RUNNING EVENTS

The Crimson will try to blot out the Green and the Red and White in the triangular track meet with Cornell and Dartmouth today. A record of six successive years of alternate second and third places in the meet will be broken if the University overturns current predictions and outdoes its competitors.

From past performances both Cornell and Dartmouth seem to have stronger teams, but Harvard holds the balance of power. If its opponents divide their points evenly, the University is likely to finish in the lead.

Three events, the broad jump, the pole vault, and the 35 pound weight throw, will be held at 1 o'clock in the afternoon at the cage on Soldiers Field; the remainder in Mechanics Building at 7.45 o'clock in the evening. Simultaneously with the triangular contest will occur the New England A. A. U. indoor championship.

Dartmouth brings a team whose weakness in the weights and high jump is overbalanced by exceptional strength in the pole vault and extremely promising entries in every other event. Cornell's team, less evenly balanced, nevertheless has in such men as Kirby, miler, Bowen, weight man, and Doppell, high-jumper, a number of almost certain first-place winners. The race between Captain E. R. Kirby and J. N. Watters '26 should prove the feature of the evening, the former being the intercollegiate mile champion. In the other events, B. R. Cutcheon '25, in the two-mile race, R. G. Allen '26 in the 600, and C. A. C. Eastman '24 in the shot put are the University's most likely candidates for first places.
