In an informal meet with Andover on Saturday, the Harvard Freshman track team suffered a defeat in its seasonal debut, returning at the small end of a 49 1-2 to 40 1-2 score. Although they annexed most of the second and third places, they were unable to press the school-boys in the field events, and slowness in the races allowed the Andover boys to get four of their six first positions.

Harvard excelled in the pole vault; two of the Crimson first-year men tied for first honors at 11 feet 6 inches, giving the Freshmen an eight point boost. J. D. Woodberry '35 and Francis Schumann '35 figured as the outstanding Freshman pole-vaulters, while L. Von B. Nichols '35 and Luther Sheffy '35 split with two Andover high jumpers in a tie for first place. Dorman and Ninde of Andover provided the chief thrills of the meet, each just nosing out their opponents in the 600-yard and 1000-yard events, respectively.
