Inexperienced track and field performers will have an opportunity to prove their worth in the Handicap Track Meet which will begin at 2 o'clock this afternoon on Soldiers Field. It will be of an informal nature and Coach Mikkola will give liberal handicaps to untried men.

Men taking part in the meet may sign at the Dillon Field House until two o'clock and will be given equipment at that time. The first three to place in each event will be awarded medals by the H.A.A.

It is planned to have five track events which will include a 45 yard dash, 70 yard high hurdles, 300 yard dash, 75 yard dash, and 880 yard run. The events will be run in the order named. In the field division there will be pole vaulting and broad jumping at 2 o'clock; at 2.30 o'clock the high jumps will be held and at 3 will be the shot put. Heats will be run in those events where the number of contestants make it advisable.

The purpose of the meet is to give the coach an opportunity to observe the regular track men under competition and to spot hidden talent in other contestants. It is held every year to help the coach lay his plans for the winter season which will start this year on January 27 with the Boston Athletic Association meet. Coach Eddie Farrell will again coach winter and spring track this year and will be assisted by Jaako Mikkola, cross country coach.

The meet is in charge of John C. Kingston '35 and Warren Sturgis '35.
