A crack varsity mile relay team, which in its last outing missed the all-time Harvard record by one second, will take on equaly strong Yale and Princeton teams in the B.A.A. meet in the Boston Gardon tomorrow night at 7:30.

The Crimson came out victorious in the K. of C. meet, Jan. 16, as it sprinted home in the near record time of 3:21.6. Dave Alpers' anchor leg, in which he overtook Princeton's Dick Yaffa, has caused quite a stir among local fans, and Coach Bill McCurdy in particular. Alpers was timed by McCurdy at :49.6, but the officials credited him with a :48.9, excellent time for an indoor 440.

The team will be trying for the Harvard record of 3:20.6 tomorrow, but it has little chance of running away with the race. They will face a stronger Princeton team, and a Yale team which has been strengthened by the addition of a half-miler, Mike Stanley, from their scratched two-mile relay team. Stanley is considered one of the finest half-milers in the East.

Yardling Team

Coach Al Wilson will enter his freshman relay team in the freshman event. It will face Brown and a heavily favored Yale team. In the K. of C. meet, the freshman lost to Brown when anchor man Dick Wharton lost his balance while trying to pass John Connor, Brown's anchor man.

The Yardling team will consist of Mike Robertson, who will led off, Bob Well, number two, Jim Cairns, number three, and Wharton will again anchor the team.

Wilson also plans to enter Joel Cohen in the hurdles. Cohen, who got off to a good start in the K. of C. meet only to slam into the first hurdle, has a strong opportunity to reach the finals.

The varsity two-mile relay team of Frank Nahigian, Cal Perkins, Phil Meyers, and Otis Gates or All Wills will also enter the meet.

Varsity hurdlers Ed Carter and Paul Rosenthal will enter the hurdle events, while Charlie Arena and possibly Poto Dow will enter the dashes.

Unfortunately, Bob Rittenburg, star hurdler for the varsity, will be unable to participate because of an injured foot. Rittenburg, who was voted the outstanding athlete in this summer's Maccabiah Games in Israel, is expected to be out of action for a good part of the indoor season.
