Board Track Team Eyes Warm Cage, Waits for Opening Meeting Tuesday

Track coach Jaako Mikkola likes Freshman, particularly if they can high jump six feet or run the hundred in ten flat. At the opening winter track meeting this Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Varsity Club, he will attempt to coax as many of them as possible into the Crimson fold. All Varsity candidates are invited to be on hand.

Pen Hallowell '32, University mile record-holder (4:12 indoors), will speak along with captain-elect Frank Gurley. Gurley missed the cross country season, but has been working out in the cage and now appears ready to better his last year's 4:25 effort in the mile.

As soon as football bows out, the Crimson captain and his associates will be able to monopolize the cage of a frosty afternoon, and take advantage of the brand new balcony boards that were installed during the summer.

Some of the names that seem certain to be splashed across the winter track scene this year include Sam Felton in the weights, Jeff Tootell in the shot, Gene, Harrigan, who jumped six two last spring, and Bill Lawrence, Owen Torrey, and Bud Lockett, all polevaulters.

The last-named trio may make Jaakko forget losing his IC4A champion polevaulter, Pete Harwood, through graduation. Lawrence and Torrey hit 13 1/2 feet consistently for the Varsity last spring, and Lockett led the Freshman vaulters with efforts of 13 feet.
