...competition will be outstanding, in contrast to the traditionally "soft" opening meet material. For example, Bob Bennett, Brown's national intercollegiate 16-pound hammer champion, Jack Fisher, Sam Felton, and Rhode Island's Miller (1-2-3-4 in the indoor IC4A 35-pound weight throw last month) will compete in what should be the country's best hammer show until the IC4A's later this spring...
...like a wonderful distance prespect loping down past the Stadium, waving, of all things, a lacrosse stick. This, of course, was a mistake and it didn't take the Crimson track coach long to convince the erstwhile stickman that his destiny was track not lacrosse. Reed eventually captured the IC4A cross country title and in winning the IC4A outdoor two-mile established a new Harvard record of 9 minutes 22 seconds--a mark which still stands...

Read will also help out Captain Wes Flint in the 110-yard high and 220-yard low hurdles, as will Pat McCormick, Interscholastic champion from Cleveland. Flint, third in the IC4A Indoor 60-yard highs, and considered unbeatable in the 220 lows outdoors, will continue his rivalry with Yale's Cook and Finlay on the cinders...
Last spring, Harvard begged down in fifth place in the Heps, behind Army, Navy, Penn and Dartmouth. Since then, though, Crimson stock has climbed steadily, and by pacing all other Ivy colleges in the recent IC4A championships, the Varsity served notice that its wartime possum-playing days are over. Now, although the spring curtain-raiser is still a flock of shinsplints away, the first flush of competitive fever is swooping over the Varsity track scene...
