A race between the B. A. A. team and the University 390-yard team to decide the championship has been agreed upon to take place in connection with the B. A. A. Schoolboy Games in Mechanics Hall on February 28. Both of the 390-yard team's victories over the B. A. A. this winter were caused by a B. A. A. man falling. The B. A. A. team showed its real form Saturday night when it took three fifths of a second off the new record of 3 minutes, 6 1-5 seconds made an hour previous by the University team in the race with Cornell. The Harvard men however, were not pressed to make their time, and although the B. A. A. team seems to be a little better, the race on February 28 should be the closest as well as the fastest relay racing in years.
Annual Winter Carnival.
The eighth annual winter carnival will take place at Soldiers Field on February 18th and 19th. Relay races will be held between the classes and the following men have been appointed captains of the class teams: 1914, W. A. Barron, Jr., of Newburyport; 1915, F. W. Capper, of Brookline; 1916, W. J. Bingham, of Methuen; 1917, E. A. Teschner, of Lawrence. Each of the captains is to pick ten men for his class relay. There will be the following regular events: 45-yard low hurdles; 40-yard dash; 7-lap race (scratch); 13-lap race (scratch); 16-pound shot-put; running high-jump. Prizes will be given for first and second places in the regular track and field events and medals will be given to the members of the team winning the finals of the interclass relay. Entry books will be placed in Leavitt & Peirce's, the Rendezvous and at the Locker Building and must be signed before Monday, February 16 at 6 P. M.
Field Event Men in Demand.
More field event men are urged to come out for the remainder of the indoor season, and especially inexperienced men. Since the number of men out for the field events is at present very small, careful attention can be paid to each man. All candidates should report to Coach Powers in the Cage on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 4 o'clock. There will be competitions in all field events during the indoor season and first, second, and third prizes will be awarded in each event for the best averages during the season.
