Crimson to Face Strong Athletes Tomorrow Night

Saturday is the night of nights along the Harvard athletic horizon, and few of the Crimson teams have been able to overlook this fact as they speeded practice preparations during the week for the impending clashes.

The lioopmen, who have had a harder time of it than any of the other major sport teams, are getting ready to take on somebody just about their size in the Elis of Yale, present cellar occupants in the E.I.L. After a season of competition with the giants in the League, the hopeful Feslermen are ready to do some winning on their own hook. Their hopes are pinned on a revised lineup which may include diminutive Chet Legg in a starting role.

Swimming

Coach Hal Ulen has developed a good crop of mermen this year, but as they approach the important part of their schedule, they find that their place in the sun is endangered by some League brethren who have grown prodigiously big. Lacking the services of swimmer Curwen, the Crimson were rebuffed by overgrown Brown, but Saturday night they really take on a full-fledged big fellow in Princeton.

The ballyhoo surrounding this year's Tiger tank edition is mindful of the good burghers of Hanover, but Dick Hough, Ned Parke, and A1 Van de Weghe are certainly food for thought. Call the Orange and Black favorites for Saturday, but make the Crimson dark horses of a very light hue for the meet.

Hockey

The unpredictable but steadily improving Hoddermen tangle with the Elis Saturday in the second of the two game hockey series. It's difficult to go out on the limb and choose a winner for the Crimson this year, and even more so because the opponent this time is Elis Yale. Sophomores and Juniors have inscribed their class numerals all over Coach Murdock's squad so they should be up and coming by now, but these pesky Hoddermen have had the pleasant habit of playing right up to the limit of their capacities this season when they actually had to.

Track

The climax of the indoor track season for the Quad winning Crimson squad, and for a good many squads all over the country, is the featured IC4A meet in New York Saturday night. The Mikkolamen are conceded an outside chance to come home with top honors, but this time Manhattan replaces Cornell in the favored spot; and between Manhattan and Cornell there is a world of difference.

At any rate, a strong Lightbodyanchored two-mile relay team has a fine chance to bring home the bacon, and Bill Shallow, fresh from his triumph in the Quad games, heads a very competent and point - conscious group of Crimson weightmen.
