NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Sophomore John Bakkensen set a new University record in the discuses Harvard trackmen turned in a number of sparkling individual performances in the first day of the Penn Relays in Philadelphia yesterday. Bakkensen won the discus with a throw of 169 ft., 9 in., which eclipsed the old University mark by five inches.

Art Doten threw the hammer 187 ft., 3 in., for second place among some of the top weight men in the East. Aggrey Awori, the Crimson's spectacular sophomore, placed second in the broad jump with a leap of 24 ft. and ran the anchor leg in Harvard's mile relay team, which placed fourth in the Heptagonal division.

The Crimson will miss the second day's events because of its meet with Prince ton today.
