Strength in Track Events Should Give Harvard Win in H-D-C Meet

Many prognosticators give Harvard and Dartmouth even chances of winning tonight's triangular track meet with Cornell in the Boston Garden. However, if the Crimson runners can put forth efforts equal to those displayed in the K. of C. and B. A. A. games, a Harvard victory may again be expected. The weight events will take place in the Briggs Cage beginning at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon and the other contests are scheduled to begin at 7.45 o'clock in the Garden.

Hopes for a Crimson victory find basis in the probability that Cornell will take some of the points in the field events. A first in the pole vault by Oscar Sutermeister '32 is the only place that may fall to Harvard off the running boards. Ellis of Cornell is slated to win the 35-pound hammer and Kind of Dartmouth should come through in second place. Milans is the Hanover mainstay in the high jump and probably will win the event with Ebelhare, Cornell, second, Bromberg of Dartmouth is expected to take the honors in the shot-put while Schoenfeld, Cornell weight man, is a probable close second. R. B. Donner, Hanoverian broad-jumper is considered the best of the entrants in his event. Last year he jumped 24 feet, 4 inches against Syracuse. Injury to W. C. Rowe '31 has lessened Crimson chances in this contest.

Harvard should win three of the track events. A. L. Watkins '31 is the favorite in the 50-yard dash; G. N. Barrie. '32 in the 1000-yard run, and E. E. Record '32 in the 45-yard high hurdle race. Captain Stevens of Dartmouth; Martin of Cornell; and Clark, Cornell, are possible seconds in those events.

The mile run will most likely be a duel between Langley of Dartmouth and Martin of Cornell with R. P. Wesley '33 and J. W. Fobes '32 coming close to the leaders. Martin is slated to win the event. David Cobb '31 is entered to run against Ranney, captain-elect of the Cornell cross country team, and will have great difficulty in beating him. The latter has covered the distance in 9 min., 39 sec. and may win.

One of the deciding events in the meet will be the University one-mile relay race. The probably Crimson runners will be Vernon Munroe '31, Record, J. H. Pearson '32, and N. P. Dodge '32, H. F. Kollmeyer '33 may be substituted at the last minute for either Pearson or Dodge. The Harvard quartet defeated Yale last Saturday in fast time and is a slight favorite over the Ithaca and Hanover teams. Andrews, Pratt, Noyes, and Simpson will carry the Dartmouth baton. It will take exceptional performance on the part of the visitors to beat the Harvard four. The Cornell four, consisting of Captain Elmer, Fletcher, Proctor, and Corlett, is not expected to figure in this contest.

Captain Munroe is a probable point winner in the 600-yard race and Pearson is expected to be close to him. Elmer of Cornell is a dangerous threat and may carry off first place with Andrews of Dartmouth also a possible point winner. Pratt is the Green hope in the 300-yard dash: Meinig will carry the burden for Cornell and Dodge is expected to run for Harvard. Pratt and Dodge probably will have the race to themselves if they run against each other.

The freshman events will consist of a 50-yard dash and a one-mile relay. A. C. Pescosolido '34 should win the dash with Pyewell of Dartmouth a possible second. The first year relay may turn into a duel between Cornell and Harvard as the former is expected to enter one of its best freshman relay teams in years: The Crimson first year relay has shown good from in the past and defeated the Dartmouth 1934 team last Saturday.
