Track Team to Encounter Big Red, Penn Tomorrow

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Fresh from its revenge win over the Dartmouth track team last Saturday, the varsity will take on two opponents tomorrow afternoon when it meets Cornell and Penn at Ithaca.

Cornell will pose the chief threat to the varsity's undefeated string, while Penn figures to be an also-ran. In the indoor Heptagonal meet, which the Crimson won, Cornell came in three points behind, while Penn ran a poor seventh in the nineteam meet.

One of the best races of the meet should develop when John Ingley of Cornell tangles with the varsity's Dick Wharton in the 440; Ingley is the Heptagonal 600 champion, while Wharton recently ran the quarter in a shade over 48 seconds.

Among Cornell's strong events is the hammer, which features Al Hall, the intercollegiate 35-pound weight record holder. Johnny King high-jumps over six feet, which should give the Big Red another first. Other Cornell stars are Mike Midler in the mile, Gerry Knapp in the broad jump, Earl McHugh in the dashes, and hurdler Dick Abell.

Penn's Captain Johnny Haines might sweep both dashes, although the varsity's Norm Bruck could surprise the A.A.U. indoor 60-yard dash king.

As in most of its other meets, the Crimson is a distinct threat to sweep the two-mile, and to score well in the middle distances, the shotput, hammer, javelin, and pole vault.
