Trackmen Face Princeton After Fine Penn Showing

The varsity track team minus Ed Hamlin, Chris Ohiri, and Jack Spitzberg faces a strong, but not quite strong enough, Princeton squad in Soldiers field at 2 p.m. this afternoon. The Crimson is a heavy favorite to win its thirteenth consecutive dual meet.

Except for the high jump, where Spitzberg's absence will hurt, the varsity should practically sweep the field events. The Tigers can offer the Crimson little competition in the broad jump, hop-step-and-jump, hammer throw, discus, or shot-put.

In the running events, things should be a little more exciting. Princeton's Hugh MacMillian and John Ball should both press Awori in the sprints, and they will second to Awori indoors, and they will renew their rivalry this afternoon.

Tiger sophomore Ralph Williams could challenge Hank Hatch in the 440-yd. burdles. But Hatch's fine hurdles time of less than "55 yesterday at the Penn relays should give him the edge.

In the distance events, Princeton's Ted Johnson and Ray Somers could make things interesting for Ed Meehan, but Mochan still looks stronger than either Tiger.

It will be an interesting meet, which Harvard should won handily.
