Track Squad Gets Initial Test Today

Jaakko Mikkola's varsity track team, which has toyed with Boston University and Northeastern in practice meets this winter, gets its first formal test of the season at West Point today when it hooks up with Army and Princeton. The Crimson entrained for the Point yesterday afternoon.

Since track meets can often be doped out with a pencil, the Cadets should have little difficulty disposing of the varsity and Princeton today. They won last year's meet with 79 points, to 37 for Harvard and 22 for the Tigers. And they later grabbed the indoor Heps title with 48 points. The Crimson was fourth with 29 1/2 points in that meet, and Princeton with 10, finished seventh.

Three of the five men who won their events for the varsity in last year's Army-Princeton meet will be trying to repeat today. They are shotputter Don Trimble, polevaulter Bud Lockett, and sprinter Jon Spivak.
