"It's easy to take points with a pencil," track coach Jaakko Mikkola warned his team last night in the Varsity Club while mapping plans for the Crimson's first formal test this season against Army and Princeton tomorrow at the Point. Before the meeting, Weston Flint, 23-year old Senior from Wellesley Hills, was chosen captain.
Results of tomorrow's meet, starting at 2 o'clock, will be studied by Ivy League track mentors who remember Harvard's 1942 Heptagonal sweep. The Cadets, of course, have Davis and Blanchard. They also have a 239-pounder named Schultz in the weight-throw, several strong distance runners and hurdlers, and a 3:26.6 mile relay team.
