TRACK TEAM WILL REST A FORTNIGHT AFTER I.C. 4A MEET

Record Alone Accounts for Over Half of Team Total--Yale Men are Picked to Go Abroad

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Back from the fifty-fifth annual I. C. 4A games, held Saturday afternoon on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, with victories in the high hurdles and the mile run to Harvard's credit, the Crimson track forces will lay off until June 15, when two weeks of intensive training for the squad which is to join Yale against Oxford and Cambridge will begin. Next year's captain will be chosen on Wednesday, June 3, after the team picture has been taken.

On the Harvard contingent will be Record, winner in the intercollegiate 120-yard timber topping event for the second successive time, who will pair with DeVoe, Eli captain. Watkins will handle the short dashes, and Dodge wil compete in the quarter. A dual race at New Haven some time within the next ten days between Kollmyer and Warner of the Yale squad will determine Dodge's partner in the double furlong.

Harvard Furnishes Distance Men

All middle distance runners will be picked from the Crimson squad; Cobb, Estes, Hallowell, and Fobes are sure of positions on the invading team, and two more will be picked from among Barrie, Foote, and Murphy.

Sutermeister, whose intercollegiate record of 13 feet, 6 inches was raised by Graber, Trojan star, to 14 feet, 1-2 inch with a vault that gave his team the meet on Saturday, will be in shape for the encounter at Stamford Bridge, London, on July 18, Kuehn, who tied with Moore at New Haven, won a place on the team when he outjumped the Eli at Franklin Field to tie with six others for fourth place. The Crimson end of the broad jumping will be in charge of either J. M. Morse '34 or W. L. Hasler '34.

Eleven Yale athletes, who will join the Crimson forces on board the George Washington on July 1 have been named. The group includes four freshmen: Pierce, star Eli pole valuator; Kilcullen in the shot put; Farrell in the broad jump; and Young in the dashes. Others chosen were Ingram and Boyd in the sprints; DeVoe and Fates in the hurdles; White side in the high jump; and Crowley in the shot put.

Saturday's meet leaves the Crimson as well off as regards intercollegiate titles as at the end of the 1930 season. Hallowell's 12-yard victory in the mile from as field including McNiff of Pennsylvania and the defending champion Bullwinkle, made up for Sutermeister's forced absence from the vaulting. Fox placed sixth in the two-mile; Harding, a duplication of whose 190-foot throw in the Stadium would have earned him points in the javelin, did only 179 feet. The Crimson's other points came from a fifth place in the half-mile by Cobb; and second place in the low hurdles by Record. The Crimson's 15 3-7 points, a fraction over eight less than the number scored last year when Harvard finished third, gave a fifth place.DAVID COBB '31, who added one point to the Harvard total by placing in half-mile Saturday.
