Penn Relays Draw Harvard Entrants; Thinclads Meet Dartmouth Tomorrow

A strong contingent from Harvard's track team will compete in the prestigious Penn Relays in Philadelphia today and tomorrow.

The annual meet hosted by Penn at Franklin Field draws entrants from approximately 75 schools each year.

Harvard will have entries in four of today's events. A mile-relay team consisting of Tom Downer, Frank Haggerty, Jeff Huvelle, and Dave McKelvey will represent the Crimson in the Heptagonal mile relay, a special event limited to the Ivy League and service academy schools.

Huvelle will also run the quarter-mile leg in Harvard's distance medley team. Trey Burns will run the second leg--a half-mile--followed by Roy Shaw in the third leg--three quarters of a mile. Senior Jim Baker, who set a new Harvard mile record of 4:02.2 against Princeton last week, will run the mile-long anchor leg.

In the discus, Ron Wilson, Bruce Hedendal, and possibly Dick Benka will be Harvard's entrants. Wilson, Charlie Ajootian, and Dave Bernstein will throw the hammer.

Haggerty, John Metzger, and Bill McBride will be entered in the 440 hurdles.

In tomorrow's events, Coach Bill McCurdy plans to enter Benka, the University record-holder in the shot put, in that event; Steve Schoonover, also a Harvard record-holder, in the pole vault; and a four-mile relay team.

The unit, consisting of Baker, Shaw, Doug Hardin, and Tim McLoone, is topseeded in that event.

Those entered in tomorrow's events will be unable to compete in Harvard's dual meet at Dartmouth, also tomorrow afternoon, and McCurdy is slightly worried about being undermanned in Han-over. "We should be strong enough to win anyway," he said.
