Pennsylvania placed third, and George Washington, Virginia, San Diego and Cal Santa-Barbara followed in the seven-school field.

Henley Track Meet

The Harvard and Yale track teams put aside their differences for the Harvard-Yale Oxford-Cambridge Centenary Meet June 28 at the University of Oxford. The meet celebrated its 100th anniversary, making it the world's oldest international inter-collegiate competition.

Harvard-Yale narrowly defeated their counterparts across the pond, winning 19 events to the Brits' 18. The top finishers from the Harvard-Yale meet (won by Harvard) comprised the combined squad.

Brian Henry '95, junior Ian Carswell and senior Darin Shearer finished first in the 800 meters, 5,000 meters and 3,000-meter Steeplechase, respectively, for Harvard-Yale on the men's side. Senior Amanda Williams took first in the 400 meters for the women. Harvard-Yale won all four relays--the 4x100 and the 4x400 relays for both men and women.

Martins Inks Deal

Steve Martins '95 will be moving again in September--although for the first time in four years his destination won't be Cambridge. Instead, Martins will be reporting to a national Hockey League training camp.

The standout Harvard center, who graduated this past June, signed a multi-year contract with the Hartford Whalers, which used the fifth selection in the NHL's 1994 Supplemental Draft to acquire him. Martins will either play with Hartford or their AHL affiliate, Springfield.

Martins played ice hockey at Harvard for four seasons, leading the Crimson in points and assists during his junior year, and in goals during his senior season. For the 1993-94 regular season, Martins was named Division I All-American, ECAC Player of the Year and Ivy League Player of the Year.

The deal was announced on July 11, 1994. Terms were not disclosed.

Olympic Festival

Harvard senior Kirk Nielsen and sophomore Emily Stauffer played at the Olympic Festival in ice hockey and soccer, respectively.

Nielsen played on the East team, which placed fourth in a field of four. He scored a power-play goal at 8:44 to pull the East within one goal in the semifinals of the tournament.

Stauffer played on the East team, which fell in the gold medal game to the North, 3-2. Stauffer notched an assist in the first match of the preliminary round and just missed an attempt 15 seconds into another preliminary round contest.

"The competition was excellent, with the national team players and World Cup players," Stauffer said. "It was a lot of soccer and was good to get my touch on the ball."

Mleczko in Finland

Junior forward A.J. Mleczko spent August 30 to September 3 in Finland with the U.S. National Women's Team. The U.S. swept a four-game exhibition series against the Finnish squad, including 8-0 and 15-1 romps.

Irving to Minors

Finally, Jamie Irving '95, the ambidextrous Harvard baseball pitcher, signed as a free agent with a minor league team in Johnstown, Penn. The team is not affiliated with a major league club.
