Baseball, Track Teams Feature Big Weekend

Well-Armed Indians Take Over Stadium Cinders

Twenty-two out of the twenty-four times Harvard has gotten Dartmouth alone on a cinder track the Indians have yelled uncle. Reports from the north this year, though, have it that the Big Green team which will go against the Varsity today at 1:30 o'clock in the Stadium doesn't know what the word uncle means.

Three men, named Kleist, Kimball, and Newman, could easily take the 100, 220, 120 highs, 220 lows, high jump, and broad jump among them today. Newman won the indoor Heptagonal sprint this winter, and Kleist has been hitting 23-plus and 6-3 in the broad jump and high jump.

That isn't all. Pudgy hammer-thrower Jim Burnham has broken the Dartmouth record in his event this spring and last week he won the Penn Relays hammer throw at about 171 feet. He may scare Sam Felton into hitting 180 feet today. Felton broke the Harvard record two weeks ago with a shot of 175 feet, 2 inches. This competition, plus the Kimball versus Pat McCormick duel in the 120 high and 220 low hurdles should provide the most spectator interest this afternoon.

How Far Can Trimble Throw?

Other men to watch: Don Trimble, who set a Harvard javelin record of 212 feet, 5 3/4 inches last Saturday; Captain Frank Gurley, who will double in the 880 and mile again today.

Frank Effinger, second to Gil Dodds in the B.A.A. mile this winter will run today for Andover against the Freshmen (this meet will be run off in the Stadium simultaneously with the Varsity-Dartmouth competition).

Coach Mikkola made sure his athletes didn't get watermelon heads after their third win in a row last Saturday. He put a chart up on the board at Dillon giving Dartmouth a five point bulge in the scoring.
