...heavily favored mile relay team meets Yale's baton men tonight at the Boston Garden in the season's first track competition between Harvard and Yale. Harvard's quartet, composed of Brookings, Abell, Calvin, and Dorman, the latter replacing Tony Bliss, is expected to show its heels to the New Haven runners, who turned in a mile against Brown two weeks ago in three seconds worse time than that made by the Farrellmen in the same meet. Calvin has been paring his time down all this week, and the Crimson runners are expected to better the showing they made...
...mile relay, Harvard is again definitely the underdog, with Maine, Boston College, and Holy Cross, all of whom beat Harvard in the last meet, running against Coach Farrell's team.

Derrickson, Floyd, Bliss...

In this week's workouts, he ran the 600 within one and four fifths seconds of the time which Fuqua, the speedy western runner, made in the K. of C. meet. The favorite in the half-mile will be Elien Brown, Kansan who won the junior national 800-meter title last year in 1:52.02. Though Bliss is not expected to heat Brown, the Harvard runner may take second place...
