TO ENTER SEVEN EVENTS BESIDES RELAY RACES

The twenty-seventh annual B. A. A. meet at the Mechanics Building next Saturday promises to be notable in the number and excellence of the competitors. For the University, interest centers in the race of the long relay team with Yale and the short distance races with Cornell, Vermont and the Yale Freshmen. Besides the relays, the University has entered men in seven events.

The 780-yard race with Yale will furnish close competition to the finish.

The University team will be picked from A. Biddle '16, W. J. Bingham '16, R. D. Campbell '17, J. Coggeshall '18, F. T. Donahue '18, J. C. Merriam '16, and H. W. Minot '17. For Yale J. W. Overton, A. O. Barker, H. C. Rolfe, and H. S. Cooper are expected to run. M. B. On is reported as not fully recovered from a severe cold, and will probably accompany the team as a substitute.

Relay Races Feature Program.

Numberous other relay races are on the program. At the 390-yard distance, the B. A. A. will race the New York A. C., Dartmouth will meet Technology, Williams will oppose Brown, Bowdoin, Colby, Maine, and Bates will compete for the championship of Maine, and Andover will meet Exeter. In the long relay in which each man runs 780 yards, the B. A. A. is matched against the Millrose A. A. and Dartmouth against Syracuse.

Of the track and field events, all except the three-mile run, the "Hunter mile," the 40-yard dash, and 45-yard hurdles, will be handicap affairs.

Noted-Runners in "Hunter Mile."

In the "Hunter mile" a small field of unusually high quality will start. The entries include Joseph Ray, the A. A. U. mile champion with a record of 4 m. 16 2-5 s.; William Gordon, of the New York A. C.; D. S. Caldwell and J. W. Ryan, both of the B. A. A. J. W. Overton of Yale is not expected to enter this race, as Coach Mack is reserving him for the relay race with the University.

Hannes Kolehmainen of the Irish-American A. C. is the most formidable of those entered in the three-mile run. Others should give him a hard race, among them James Henigan of the Dorchester Club.

Loomis to Appear in Sprints.

In the 40-yard dash Joseph Loomis, of the Chicago A. A., national champion in the sprints, will make his first appearance in Boston. Other leading competitors will be David Politzer of the I. A. A. C., last year's winner, and Irving Howe, of the Boston Y. M. C. A.

The 45-yard hurdles will include such prominent athletes as Meanix of the B. A. A., Trenholm of Dartmouth, Leisenring, Farwell, and Davis of Yale, and Gubb and Starr of Cornell.

In the 600, Gissing of the I. A. A. C., Halpine and Rose of the B. A. A., and Shiverick of Cornell are among the most prominent of a large field. In the 1000-yard race and int he mile good competition is assured. In the former, Joseph Higgins of Holy Cross will be on scratch.

Among the entries in the 16-pound shot are Patrick McDonald of the I. A. A. C., Childs and Green of Dartmouth, Alma Richards of Cornell, A. Lyman '16, and Allen of Maine.

The high-jump should prove one of the features of the meet. Loomis of the Chicago A. C., Alma Richards of Cornell, Wesley Oler of Yale, H. Barwise of the B. A. A., J. O. Johnstone '16, W. A. Sullivan of Technology, and G. A. Pelletier of St. John's will be included among the competitors
