Lining Them-Up

A Green Threat

When Harvard, Cornell and Dartmouth meet in then fifteenth annual Triangular Meet at the Boston garden tomorrow night, coach Harry Hellman of the Big green may find his athletes for the first time in years in position to step in and capitalize on the Harvard-Cornell battle and walk off with meet honors, which will make the Hanover boys very happy.

Harvard and Cornell generally have been favored to fight for the Triangular title with Dartmouth a strong third, but Hellman sees possibilities of Dartmouth taking advantage of its high jump, broad jump and shot put strength to gather a total of 24 points in those three events.

The Dartmouth track captain, Bill Hoffman, who for three years has been a powerful player in Dartmouth football lines, has given up hammer throwing this year and is concentrating entirely on the shot put. In his preliminary discussions of the meet, Hellman has looked forward to 16 points in the high jump and broad jump, and now he sees a chance with Hoffman, Durgin, Hagerman, and Hooper to send into the event two men who can shut the Harvard and Cornell weight men out of the main scoring places.

Coach Jack Moakley put his Cornell team through final trials for the Triangular Meet with the resulting record performances by Hardy in the 50-yard dash. Kane in the 300-yard run, Merwin in the high hurdles, and Joe Mangan in the mile run. He was pleased with the general performances of his team except in the weight events. The weight men had a poor day according to the veteran Cornell Coach, unusual because Cornell for years has been noted for its strength in those two events.

The Varsity does not hold high hope for its shot putters and if Dartmouth is strong enough to win, the stage will be set for the Big green's fight for the team title. Hellman has two jumpers in Woodbury and Lindstrom who have cleared 6 feet 2 inches in the high jump. His two broad jumpers Rodman and Donner have been doing well in practice. All have done better than 22 feet this year and Hillman looks for them to defeat the 1932 titlist Dave Burns of Cornell.

Dartmouth's hopes on the meet probably will turn on the steady legs and endurance of a sophomore middle distance runner, Quimby, who entered the University club meet last week and won the mile in 4 minutes 28 seconds--good time in a crowded field. Hillman has primed him to reach the. Triangular Meet games at top speed, ready for duels with Cornell's Intercollegiate mile champion. Jee Mangan, in both the mile and 1000 yard run. Mangan won both events a year ago and is favored to repeat this season.

Hillman is confident that Quimby will be at Mangan's heels in both events and in case the Dartmouth sophomore has the strength to upset the great Cornell runner, the green will be in a commanding position. Hellman counts quite heavily on the hurdling ability of Chapman, Dartmouth senior, who ran second in the event at the K. of C. Meet.

Nevertheless

This sounds very pretty, but a solid, conservative confidence hovers ever Crimson possibles and seems to ignore pessimistic rumors. Having won their mic winter meet for eight consecutive years, Eddie Farrell's cast is desirous, to put it mildly, of again lending the field in this, the climax of the indoor track session. Admitting that coach Hillman prophecied a plausible outcome and that Coach Jack Moakley reveals times registered by his boys in the final Cornell tryouts which have caused a small sensation local opinion continue to favor the home team.

A popular Boston news--writer contributes to this support with a tabulator of "Probable" results. His estimate on the scoring basis of 5-3-1 in all events save the relay (5-3-0) gives Harvard a solid lead with 5-5 points. Cornell fellows in her customary second place with 35 points, and Dartmouth is accredited with 26 points According to these figures the Crimson relay stars are slated for double duty with Calvin and captain Dodge as likely starters in the 300, and Morse and Forgic Locke in the 600.

Eddie Farrell is not certain just how he will assign these experienced racers but however he shuffles them, the team is expected to rape the relay. Fortunate in being represented by a galaxy of great sprinters and distance aces ever since the victorious string was started back in 1925, Farrell's troupe is now expected show strength in first events. --BY TIME OUT
