When the first crack of the starter's gun opens the annual Millrose A. A. meet in Madison Square Garden, New York, Thursday night, six men wearing the Crimson of Harvard will be on the floor, it was announced yesterday by Coach E. L. Farrell of the University track team.

A four-man team will meet a quartet from the University of Maryland in a special one-mile relay. Captain A. H. O'Neil '28, C. M. Lauterhahn '30, V. L. Hennesey '30, and F. E. Cummings '30 will carry the baton for Harvard in this race.

R. C. Gould '30 and V. F. Nissen '30 are entered in the special 50-yard dash, G. H. Elsass '30 will make the trip and many enter the dash, although Coach Farrell was uncertain last night about his entry B. A. A. Meet Saturday

The next engagement for the University runners is set for Saturday night, when a limited number of trackmen will appear in the annual B. A. A. games. The triangular meet with Cornell and Dartmouth and the Indoor Intercollegiate Championships will close the season for the board runners.

Last year's Millrose meet was a triumph for Harvard when A. H. Miller '27, premier sprinter of the Crimson squad, flashed home in front of a strong field in the 50-yeard dash. Frank Hussey, of Boston College, Robert McAllister, "the Flying Cop", and Morrill of Boston University took Miller's dust in this race.

Running in this meet against Maryland and the University of Virginia in a one-mile relay, the Harvard team led until the final lap when O'Neil making a gallant bid for victory, fell, and Maryland took the race in hollow fashion.
