Name Members Of American Team To Face Stellar Italians On Friday

FINAL AMERICAN CHOICES TO BE MADE TONIGHT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An American college track team will oppose a team of Italian track and field athletes at the Harvard Stadium on Friday, October 5, the meet starting at 3.30 P. M.

The feature of this meet will be an attempt by Luigi Beccalli of the University of Milan to make a new world record for the 1500 meters. Beccalli, the Olympic 1500 meters champion, established a world record of 3 minutes 49 seconds for the distance in 1932. This record held until Bill Bonthron shaved that mark to 3 minutes 48.8 seconds last June.

The Stadium exercises on Friday will open at 3 P. M. with a grand entry parade of the entire Italian student body of 340 men, accompanied by the Harvard band and preceded by Italian trumpeters. They will march to the center of the Stadium, according to present plans, and sing the Facist song. This will take about thirty minutes time after which the track meet proper will start.

The coaches committee, headed by Edward L. Farrell of Harvard, will meet tonight to make final selection for the American team. There will be no heats and each event will be final.
