HARVARD - YALE TRACK TEAM TO MEET BRITONS

TRACK CLASSIC WILL TAKE PLACE IN STADIUM ON JULY 8

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Strengthened by several American stars, an Oxford-Cambridge track team will invade the Harvard Stadium on July 8 to oppose a favored Harvard-Yale group in the biennial British-American track classic. Of especial interest to Harvard men will be the return of Oscar Sutermeister '32, now studying at Cambridge, and of N. P. Hallowell "32, wearing the Dark Blue of Oxford, to compete against their fellow countrymen in the pole vault and half mile respectively. Byles of Princeton and Stanwood of Bowdoin are also on the British team. Stanwood made history for Oxford last March by winning three firsts against Cambridge in the high jump, and in both the high and low hurdles. The Oxford "iron man" will have stiff competition from J. C. Grady '33 of Harvard and from Lockwood and Dunbar of Yale over the harriers. Yale's remarkable Keith Brown should win the high jump as well as the pole vault. Hallowell will be out to lower Lowe's meet record of one minute, 53 4-10 seconds in the 880 yard run with J. B. White '34 and Captain-elect J. M. Morse '34 giving him a stiff battle. Lovelock, a great distance runner from New Zealand, should win the mile run for the Britons if he can approach his best time of four minutes, 12 seconds in that event. Oxford is also sending Lang, Dunean an Mabey while Ivanovie, Stothard, Horan, Davis, Thornton and Marsh are to represent Cambridge against the Americans.

Aside from Hallowell in the half mile, Lovelock in the mile and Mabey in the two mile, the invaders should find first places hard to capture. E. E. Calvin '33, and Walsh and Lane of Yale ought to take the sprints over Cantab and Davis. Keith Brown is due to win the pole vault and high jump and the crack Kari Warner the quarter. J. H. Dean '34, who created a new Harvard record by putting the shot 48 feet in the I.C.4A. meet this year, is a certainty in the shot put while N. P. Dodge '33, A. B. Hallowell '34 and Arthur Foote '33, are determined to give the visitors real completion.
