FRESHMEN RACE YALE FEB. 2

1921, TEAM WILL MEET NEW HAVEN RUNNERS IN B. A. A. GAMES.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Freshman really team will race Yale at the 29th annual indoor track and relay carnival of the Boston Athletic Association on the night of February 2. The run will be one of 1,560 yards. It will be only one event of the carnival which is to include numerous other races and relays.

The feature of the program, recently announced by E. E. Babb, chairman of the B. A. A. athletic committee, will be the events exclusively set aside for men in the service. These follow: 40-yard dash, 40-yard rescue racer, 600-yard run with full equipment, rope-climbing contest, tug-of-war between teams composed of eight men, and relay races. There will be two special races for both soldiers and civilians in which entrants they show by preliminary trial that they are worthy of competing. One of these, the three-mile run, is scratch, and athletes must show a record of 16 minutes to be eligible. In the Hunter mile, an invitation is required. Two other events are open to registered A. A. U. civilians as well as to men in military service--the 1,000-yard handicap, 50 yards limit, and the running high jump handicap, three-inch limit.

Meet an Annual Affair.

The B. A. A. indoor meet has been annually one of the most important events on the winter schedule of University and Freshman track teams. Last year the relays included a long-distance race with Yale, each man running 780 yards, and a shorter contest against Cornell, each runner covering 390 yards. In addition, the 1920 team met Yale 1920 in a dual relay.
