As part of the training program which has been mapped out for the University trackmen in preparation for their invasion of England next month Coach Farrell entered several of his charges in the K. of C. handicap meet on the Malden High School track yesterday afternoon. Four of these, Captain E. C. Haggerty '27, J. L. Reid '27, David White '29, and David Guarnaccia '29 were listed among the point scorers at the close of the competition. A. B. Miller '27, who was to start from scratch in the century did not run. The leg which he injured in the Intercollegiates on May 29 is in good shape again but Coach Farrell decided not to run any risk of a recurrence of the former difficulty by sending the Crimson sprint ace into competition before it was necessary.
Reid furnished the leading exhibition of the afternoon among the Crimson athletes, winning the mile with a 20 yard handicap in 4 minutes 29 1-5 seconds and later taking third in the half. Although he had a handicap in the mile Reid distanced the field by considerably more than the length of his starting advantage. In the half Reid and Haggerty starting from scratch led, running about even until they reached the home stretch. Then from nowhere in particular appeared an unheralded runner, Gerior, of the St. Alfonso A. C., and forged ahead of the Crimson stars to break the tape in the lead.
White placed third in the broad jump with an actual leap of 21 feet and a 4 inch handicap. Guaruaccia turned in a 45 foot 6 inch throw in the 16-pound shot put which with a two foot handicap gave him a second to one of the Medford High athletes who had a four foot advantage.
Sabin Carr of Yale outdid the effort of Harrington of the B. A. A. in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 18 feet.
