Eli Favored Over Trackmen Today

Jaakke Mikkola's varsity track team will give it the old college try at New Haven this afternoon, but nobody on the team really thinks the Crimson has a chance to beat Yale.

Track meets can be doped out pretty accurately on paper. And on paper, Bob Giegengack's G-men are way too powerful for the Varsity to handle. Olympic shot putter Jim Fuchs, for instance, has been heaving the iron ball 55 feet this winter. That's the type of material Yale has this year, right down the line.

George Wade runs the mile in 4:20, George Appel does 13 feet 6 inches in the pole vault, Bundy, a hot-cold broad-jumper, is capable of 24 feet or so, and the Eli mile and two mile relay teams are packed with good men.
