...University squad will begin its preparation for the Harvard-Dartmouth-Maine triangular meet here next Friday, when it jogs over the river course this afternoon. So far, the Crimson men have kept their slate clean, but it is probable that both Dartmouth and Maine will present stiffer opposition than did Middlebury or Bowdoin.
