From Lake Cayuga and from the region of Hanover are coming to town two rather determined and powerful track squads that intend to smother any aspirations the Harvard track men may have of gaining their ninth straight victory in the fifteenth annual Triangular Meet at Boston Garden tonight. Taking the results of the IC4A games as an indication, the veteran Cornell coach, Jack Moakley, and his boys are favored to take the team title back home with them.

Leading the Ithacans into the fray is Captain Dick Hardy, Intercollegiate 100 meter champion, who placed third in the IC4A dash because of a poor start, but under any conditions he is vastly superior to anything that Harvard or Dartmouth have to offer. The high hurdles look like a Cornell event except for the competition that Harvard may offer, which will be considerable. Leading the timber-toppers to the start will be Walter Merwin, who won the IC4A title in New York. The other Red and White entries will be Irving and Bennett. However, Harvard has two hurdlers in Johnny and Dick Hayes, who should push Merwin to the limit and perhaps to a new Tri record.

The 300 yard run will probably be captured by Irving of Cornell, with Hine and Button of Dartmouth doped to take second and third respectively. The 600 yard run is on the books for Harvard as far as number one place is concerned. Entered in the 600 is Captain Jack Morse, present Triangular holder of this distance. Sampson of Cornell is looked to take second as he did last year, and Veazie of Dartmouth is favored for third. The 100 yard run is Harvard's with Johnny White toeing the line; Quimby of Dartmouth and Vipond of the Ithacans are rated second and third. The mile run is a toss-up. Cornell has the Mangan-protege Vipond in this race, and the Big Green has Quimby, also a first class distance man; but they will both have been considerably de-energized by their race in the 1000 yard run event. It remains to be seen whether these iron men can stave off the fresh Harvard milers, Hallowell, who incidentally, has been coming along nicely this year, and Jack Scheu. In the two mile run Cornell is entering Bruce Kerr who took fourth in the IC4A 3000 meter run. Harvard enters Playfair and Dartmouth sends in Lepreau. From this point on, namely in the weight events, the Ithacans are feckless and woefully weak. Harvard is very strong in the 35 pound weight and the shot put. The Crimson is doped as sure first in the weight throw in the person of Frank Cahners and the shot put will be dominated by Johnny Dean and Red Healey as it was last year. A new development of the last few days has it that Michelet, the Dartmouth captain, has come down with pneumonia, in which case his second in the weight throw will go to Healey of the Crimson.

The high jump will not give Harvard a look in. The Green will without a doubt sweep the event, Woodberry and Lindstrom having shown their stuff at the Intercollegiates on Monday. Woodberry gave Champion George Spitz of NYU a fine sky jumping battle. The broad jump based on previous performances of the entries should go to Stowe of Dartmouth, with Godshall of Cornell second and Rodman of Dartmouth third. Harvard has a good number of potential scorers in this event who may crash through to give the Crimson several much needed points. There is Eddie Calvin and Windy Hasler and Captain Morse, any of whom may show something.

In the pole vault Brister of Dartmouth has the edge, and there are any number of possible second placers in Schumann and Woodberry of Harvard, Maxam of Dartmouth, and McNabb of Cornell. The relay race will top the program off; and if it were not for the fact that Captain Morse and Johnny White of Harvard are running in other events, it would be possible to chalk a first place in this for the Crimson.

As the line-ups stand, it will be a fight all the way through and the closest team struggle since 1931 when Harvard beat Cornell 41 1-2 to 40. By TIME OUT.
