TRACK MEN ON TOES TO START MEDLEY RACES

O'Connell, Chute, Gourdin and Wharton Are Entrants For The Relay Race Today

The University medley relay team meets the Princeton and Columbia teams, and possibly the Iowa State team this evening at the Guaranty Club games in Madison Square Garden, New York. Although an invitation to enter a team was sent to Yale, it is doubtful if the Blue team will run, as they have been entered in a race with the M. I. T. team at the American Legion games on Tuesday. The University team is composed of Captain D. F. O'Connell '21, R. Chute '22, E. O. Gourdin '21, and Bayard Wharton '22. Gourdin will start off the race on the 220-yard distance and will hand the baton over to Chute, who is running the quarter. Wharton is to run third man in the half-mile turn, and O'Connell, running anchor, will finish up in the mile.

In addition to the relay race, the University will be represented in the 70-yard dash, the 70-yard hurdles, and the 300-yard dash. Both R. D. Howard '23 and Gourdin are entered in the dash, but Gourdin may not run on account of the relay race. R. S. Whitney '22 is entered in the hurdles, and stands a good chance of placing, judging by his performance at the B. A. A. games. Vinton Chapin '23 is the University entry in the 300-yard dash.
