SMITH TO TAKE PORTER'S PLACE ON H-Y TRACK TEAM

FRENCH TO COMPETE IN BROAD JUMP AGAINST ENGLISH TEAM

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the substitution of G. W. Smith '29 for R. P. Porter '29 in the half-mile run, the personnel of the Harvard-Yale track team which will meet the Oxford-Cambridge forces at Stamford Bridge, England, on July 9, is practically complete. One place in the 220-yards hurdles is still disputed between Sherman and Wood of Yale, but the athletes for the other positions have been definitely chosen.

Smith ran in the mile in the Yale meet, and was prevented from showing his wares in the 880-yards. Porter, placing third in the half-mile, was chosen as second man in that event to Hogan of Yale, the winner. It was decided to give Smith a chance, and in a special trial race last Friday, the Sophomore runner outfooted J. S. Malich '27, J. C. Peet '28 and Porter to the tape in a 2.01 half-mile.

The lin-up of the combined Crimson and Blue teams now stands as follows:

100 and 220 yards--Paulsen and Ellis (Y) and A. H. Miller '27.

440-yards--Ross and Engle (Y).

880-yards--Hogan (Y) and G. W. Smith '29.

1-mile--E. C. Haggerty '27 and J. O. Wlldes '29.

2-mile--Smith (Y) and J. L. Reid '29.

High-hurdles--Campbell and Edwards (Y).

Low-hurdles--Kieselhorst and Sherman or Wood (Y).

High-jump--Larsen and Wolf (Y).

Broad-jump--Deacon (Y) and A. E. French '29.

Shot-put C. A. Pratt '28 and W. D. Locke '27.

Pole-vault--Carr and Sturdy (Y).

French, recently added to the broad-jump entrants, has been the leading jumper on the University squad this spring, but pulled a tendon in the heats of the 100-yards dash in the Harvard Yale dual meet.
