INDIANS ARRIVE FOR ANNUAL TRACK MEET

Sprinter May Bring Home Bacon in Dash Events--Watkins and Hennessy are Probably Out

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Dartmouth track team, 41 strong, arrives in town tonight with high hopes for victory in the Stadium tomorrow. Only once, in 1911, has Harvard bowed to the Indian track and field men, but this year the visitors seem unusually strong for a dual meet. Coach Farrell is not up to his usual optimism as he hears tales from Hanover of 6 foot high-jumpers, 49 second quarter-milers, and 45 foot shot-putters.

Harvard Has 54 Entries

He has entered 54 men to combat the Indian horde. Several days of warm weather have helped his conditioning processes. The Crimson prospects have been brightened considerably by the showing of A. E. French '29 in recent dash trials. The other day last fall's football captain had the edge on T. F. Mason '30 in practice dashes, and he may surprise the dopesters by a win in the 100 yard dash.

Munroe, Mardulier O. K.

A. L. Watkins '31 and V. L. Hennessy '30 have been somewhat lame this week. It is doubtful if these two crack sprinters will be able to run on Saturday, but Vernon Munroe '31 is rapidly rounding into shape after an injury and may in part repair their loss.

F. J. Mardulier '30 is back in harness again for the first time since the Brown-Holy Cross meet, while R. H. O'Connell '30 has been topping the timbers speedily in practice.

Strength in Javelin Uncertain

The other Crimson star T. G. Moore '29 who has been hors de combat thus far this season, is still an unknown quantity in tomorrow's meet. Should he participate in the javelin throw, he is almost certain to get in at least one heave which should better 185 feet, but whether his weak arm would permit more than one such throw is doubtful. V. M. Harding '31, who won this event in the triangular meet with Brown and Holy Cross two weeks ago with a throw of 181 feet, 9 inches is good for at least a second in the event, since the leading Indian spear-man averages less than 175 feet. In the dual meet last Saturday the Dartmouth man won the event with a throw of 168 feet, with his two teammates both doing over 160 feet. The trials for tomorrow's games, however, showed the Green warriors in better form, the three qualifying men doing 185, 168 and 165 feet respectively.
