Varsity Track Team Hopes For 60 Points Against Yale

If the Crimson is able to take 60 points against the powerhouse Yale track team in New Haven tomorrow Coach Jaakko Mikkola will be "proud of his boys."

Hope of gaining the anything near 60 points rests to a great extent on the Crimson weight men and javelin throwers. John Thorndyke, Howie Reed, and Larry Ward would have to sweep the hammer; Jeff Tootell and Don Trimble in the shot, and Tootell in the discus would have to wrest at least six points from Yale aces Jim Fuchs and Vic Frank; and Charlie Kelth and John Holbrook would have to win six or eight points in the javelin.

McCormick in Hurdies

The 60 point formula also calls for double wins by Pat McCormick in the hurdle events and victories by John Harrigan in the high jump and Jerry Gibson in the broad jump.

Gibson regained his last year's form in the Heps last week when he jumped 21 feet, 5 1/4 inches to qualify, before being forced out of the meet because of a strained muscle.

Two Running Chances

The Blue is expected to clean up in almost every running event on the flat. Sprinter Jon Spivak and half miler Captain Dave Hamblett are the only Crimson runners who might break Yale's anticipated series of firsts, according to Jaakko.

It might be appropriate to mention here a few of Yale's recent times and distances that the Crimson can only gape at. In the Heps, Fuchs put the shot 55 feet, 3/4 inches, Wade ran the mile in 4:18.7, Appel pole vaulted 13 feet, 5 inches, and the mile relay team finished in 3:17.
