The men's track team elected juniors Tom Lenz, Joe Salvo and Thad McNulty as tri-captains for next year's indoor and outdoor seasons.
Lenz owns the University record in the hammer throw (208-2) and also throws the 35-1b, weight in the winter. Sprinter Salvo's speciality is the 60-yd. dash (indoors), an event he won at the Greater Bostons this year. McNulty, a lanky distance man, own the school record in the 1500 (3:48.1) and also captains the cross-country team.
Lenz, weight man Joe Pelligrini and pole vaulter Geoff Stiles (this year's captain) will represent the Crimson at the NCAA meet May 26.
Sophomore Bob Horne also joined the captain's ranks this week when the men's tennis team elected him Monday. A Wheeling, W. Va., native, Horne played at the number three and four spots for the Crimson, and he picked up Harvard's only point against Princeton with a victory over Jim Zimmerman.
In baseball, junior first baseman Mark Bingham finished the year as the team's leading hitter, at .403. Bingham also led the Crimson in runs batted in with 36, four short of the Harvard record.
Junior Mike Stenhouse (.395), Senior Jim Peccerillo (.308) and sophomore Chuck Marshall (.307) followed Bingham in the average category. Peccerillo finished second in RBI's with 26.
Peccerillo was also named to the All-Greater Boston League team. Yesterday's Crimson incorrectly reported that Tim Clifford, not Peccerillo, made that squad.
