...what promises to be one of the most closely contested of the 21-meet series, Harvard and Dartmouth track teams clash this afternoon in the Stadium. Coach Mikkola's men are out in avenge last year's defeat, the first in history at the hands of the Big Green, and have a slightly better than even chance of doing...
