Track Team Rolls

The varsity track team rolled to an easy victory over Brown Saturday, trouncing the Bruins, 103-50. The Crimson won 11 of 18 events in the process, and established three new track records, all of them by sophomores.

Richie Szaro sailed the javelin 231'7" to break the record in that event, Tom Spengler cracked the mile mark with a 4:09.2 clocking, and Dave Pottetti shattered the two-mile record, turning in a time of 9:13.3. In addition to breaking the track record, Szaro's throw also set a new Harvard mark.

As expected, the Crimson were especially strong in the weight and distance events. The Harvard big men carried off 10 of 12 possible places in the throwing events, and the distance men captured all but one of the nine places in the half-mile, mile and two-mile runs.

In addition to Szaro, the Crimson's weight-event victors, were Charlie Ajootian in the hammer throw, 186'10"; Bruce Hedenal in the discus, 159'7"; and Dick Benka in the shot put, 54'9".

Other Harvard winners were Keith Colburn in the 880-yard run, Jim Colburn in the 880-yard run, Jim Coleman in the high jump, Ben Lounsberry in the 440-yard hurdles, Steve Wimperley in the 220-yard dash, and Ed Dugger in the triple jump.

In the freshman meet, the Yardlings smothered Brown, 96-58, as Steve Thomas won the long jump, high jump, and high hurdles.

Penn Edges Racquetmen

Playing in its league opener, the varsity tennis team lost a very close match on Saturday to Pennsylvania, 5-4, a team that shared first place with Harvard last year.

"We had a wonderful match with Penn, and I'm quite proud of the team," said Coach Jack Barnaby. "There were many hard-fought battles and Homeric struggles."

Rocky Jarvis, playing in the number two position, outclassed his opponent and won an easy match, 6-3, 6-3. Bill Washauer had a little more trouble with his opponent but managed to beat him in two grueling sets, 11-9, 7-5.

The top two doubles teams, which Barnaby called incredibly strong, showed their muscle and won two easy matches against the Penn duos. John Levin and Rocky Jarvis won their match easily, 6-3, 6-4. The doubles team of Bill Washauer and Chris Neilsen disposed of their opponents in the same easy manner, winning their match, 6-3, 6-4.

The two matches that could have swung the meet to Harvard were those of John Levin and Larry Terrell. Levin, facing probably the best tennis player in the Ivies, Hugh Curry, beat him decisively in the first set, 6-2 but lost the last two, 4-6, 4-6. Terrel, in a three-hour match, stated out badly, won the second match and lost third, 7-9.

Penn Edges Laxmen

Harvard played solid lacrosse for three quarters, but suffered another dismal fourth period, and Penn capitalized with four goals in overtime to down the Crimson, 14-10, Saturday on the Business School field.
