In what could go down as one of the least-remembered athletic events in Harvard history, the Crimson track team rolled to a predictable 68-41 rout of Brown Saturday at Providence R.I. Refusing to how to seniority, the Bruin freshmen proved themselves even more inept than the varsity as they fell to the Harvard freshmen, 98-10 (yes, 98-10).

Under normal circumstances, Brown's varsity could have claimed a moral victory for coming within 27 points of the Crimson, but Saturday's meet was hardly normal. For assorted reasons, Harvard was competing without many of its brightest stars, including runners Roy Shaw, John Gillis, and Dave Pottetti, weight man Ed Nosal, and long jumpers Skip Hare, Bob Galliers and John Avault.

Field Squad

Only Paul Masaracchio and Jim Coleman were able to secure individual victories for the depleted Crimson field squad as Brown scored all but 15 of its points in these events.

Masaracchio, filling in for the absent Ed Nosal, won the 35 pound weight throwwith a toss of 52' 1", while Coleman regained some of his last year's form with a 6' 6" high jump victory.

Harvard's runners more than made up for the deficit incurred in the field events by capturing victories in the entire slate of running events. As usual, captain Keith Colburn provided much of the punch with double victories in the mile and 1000 yard runs. The Beverly Hills, Calif., star ran a 4:12.6 mile and came back with a 2:13.7 in the 1000.

Short Races

Sophomore E.l Diamond and junior Walter Johnson triumphed in the short races, Diamond in the 50-yard dash (5.6) and Johnson in the 45-yard high hurdles (5.8). Tom Spengler ran a creditable two-mile, winning in 9:10.2, and consistent Tom Downer captured another victory in the 600-yard run in a time of 1:14.8.

Harvard's relay teams finished the slaughter with triumphs in the mile (3:25.5) and two-mile (8:23.2) relays.

The Crimson varsity are now 4-0 in dual meet competition while the Yardlings boast a 6-0 record. Both will meet Yale and Princeton this weekend at Yale.
