Track Team Opens Season Against Revengeful Cadets

Hardly anyone said anything. Ron Wilson, last year's big man, hovered around the 47 mark. Sophomores Charley Ajootian and Bob Benka broke 49. But it was a very disappointing afternoon. And things could be worse today when the putters run up against 54 foot men at West Point.

In other events:

Pole vault: Steve Schoonover, who won against Army last year, will find some real competition against the Cadets over the 14 foot mark.

High jump: Charlie Njouku, who has cleared 6' 6", ought to be an able replacement for Chris Pardee. But Army is strong here, and Njouku could encounter some trouble.

Broad jump: Army won't be much of a match for a solid, though not exceptional Harvard squad, led by Harvey Thomas, who beat the Cadets last year.

Hurdles: Again, the Crimson should dominate with Terry Golden showing the way.

Relays: Harvard won both last year. This time the mile is safe, but a crippled Huvelle and Burns won't do the Crimson any good in the two-mile.

Hammer: Ajootian, Wilson, and Gene Mazel will have to tangle with some big Army weight men in the meet's first event.
