Thinclads Name Freshman Coach, Present Awards

Harvard's freshman track team will have a new coach next year--a former track teammate of present coach Ed Stowell at Springfield College.

The appointment of Bob ("Pappy") Hunt as an assistant to Stowell and varsity coach Bill McCurdy was announced by Adolph W. Samborski '25, director of athletics, at Sunday's annual track banquet at the Harvard Club of Boston.

Air Force Jock

Hunt, who now resides in Colorado Springs, has been active as an official in the Air Force Academy track program. His job at Harvard will be his first coaching position. Stowell will now devote all his time to coaching field events. Both men were members of McCurdy's first college track team at Springfield 20 years ago.

A number of awards were presented to members of the track team at Sunday's banquet.

Captain Jeff Huvelle received the Westmore Wilcox 440 award for the third year in a row. Wilcox himself, class of '17, made the award to Huvelle, who broke his 53-year-old record in the 440 with a 47.7 clocking against Brown this season.

Huvelle also snatched off the coveted William P. Grady Relay Anchor Award for his anchor leg in the mile relay during the Dartmouth meet, when he was nosed out in the stretch by an obscure Dartmouth pole vaulter.

Baker Again

The Treasurer's Award--given each year for the outstanding performance in the Harvard-Yale dual meet--was given to senior Jim Baker. In this year's meet, Baker--who received the William J. Bingham Award, Harvard's highest athletic honor, last Thursday--won the mile and two-mile and placed second in the half-mile.

Senior Frank Haggerty was the winner of the Rand Hurdling Award for the second straight year. Ron Wilson won the Carver Weight and Hammer Award, also for the second time in two years.

Others honored were Steve Schoonover, taking his second consecutive Harwood Pole Vault Award, new captain Dick Benka, with his second straight Little Shot Put Award, and the two-mile relay team of Baker, Trey Burns, Roy Shaw, and Dave McKelvey which ran in the indoor NCAA's.
