TRACKMEN DEFEND TITLE IN H.D.C. MEET

Harvard will attempt to win its ninth consecutive victory over Cornell and Dartmouth in the fifteenth annual H-D-C Triangular track meet to be held tonight at 7.30 o'clock in the Boston Garden. At 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon the shot-put and 35-pound weight throw will be contested in the Briggs Cage in Cambridge.

Coach Farrell is entering a Crimson squad that, if nothing else, has been primed for this contest which climaxes the winter track season, and though pre-meet predictions point to a blanket finish for the teams, with victory probably hinging on the mile relay, the Crimson will need every break to top either the Red or the Green. So evenly matched are the three teams that the closest team contest in the fifteen years of the games is predicted. The program is a first-rate one and promises many smashing races. In the 45-yard high hurdles alone there are entered four of the five finalists in the Intercollegiate Championships, including champion Walter Irwin of Cornell. The Harvard lineup:
