Harvard sends a full-strength team into the Boston Garden tonight for the University Club's third annual New England intercollegiate Championships and sports authorities predict a nip and tuck contest for the team honors between the Crimson and the strong track squad that Dartmouth is sending to town. Besides the individual entries for the hurdles, dash, pole vault, and high jump, Coach Farrell has entered three relay teams.
In the 45 Yard High Hurdles John J. Hayes '34 is the defending champion and judged by other performances this winter should repeat his six-second performance of last year. Richard C. Hayes '36 and David C. Crawford '36 will also contend in this event. William C. McCarty '35 and Carl A. Pescosolido '34 are the Harvard entries in the 50 Yard Dash. The One Mile Run will be a close race and Robert S. Playfair '36 will provide a strong race for Bob Quimby from Hanover with John P. Scheu '35 and Alfred B. Hallowell likewise toeing the mark for the Crimson in this event. In the Half Mile, John Dorman '36 and Anthony A. Bliss '36 who are both fast middle distance runners are the Harvard entries. Francis Schumann '35 and John D. Woodberry '35 are entered in the Pole Vault and in the High Jump there is Luther Scheffy '35.
The feature Relay race of the evening is the Varsity One Mile Relay with Holy Cross, Harvard and Northeastern all having been timed in under 3 min. 28 seconds. There is also an Invitational One Mile Freshman Relay Race in which the crack team from Holy Cross is the overwhelming favorite and the Crimson is due to come in second. The remaining relay race is a Varsity Two Mile event between Harvard and M.I.T.
