4n Mechanics Hall at 7.15.--Many Harvard Men to Compete.

The Boston Athletic Association will hold its nineteenth annual indoor handicap games in Mechanics Hall, Boston, at 7.15 o'clock this evening. The schedule includes eleven regular events, for which about 375 entries have been received, as well as fourteen relay races, in which about 190 men have been entered. Harvard will be represented in all but one of these events. Other colleges which have sent entries are: Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Amherst, Williams, Wesleyan, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There will be fourteen relay races, including those between the University team and Yale, the Harvard Freshmen and Yale freshmen, and the three upper-class teams. Among other college teams to race will be Pennsylvania, Cornell, and Dartmouth. Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Williams, Amherst and Brown, Columbia and Syracuse, Bowdoin and Tufts, Boston College and Holy Cross, and maine and Vermont.

In the race between the University team and Yale, the distance will be a little less than two miles, each man running six laps, or 780 yards. In the Freshman and class races, each man will run three laps, making a total distance of 1560 yards. The University team is much stronger than last year's team and should win from Yale in good time. The Freshman team is not as fast as the 1910 Freshman team, but is expected to win from the Yale freshmen.

Harvard will be represented in two of the three special scratch invitation events. In the 40-yard dash L. J. Friedman 1G. and F. S. Blanchard '10 will compete against a number of fast sprinters, including C. J. Seitz, N. Y. A. C., D. Kelly, Detroit A. C., and W. D. Eaton, B. A. A. B. T. Stephenson, Jr., '08 will compete in the 12-pound shot-put, in which W. W. Coe, Jr., B.A.A., and several others are entered.
