TRACKMEN COMPETE AT MALDEN FRIDAY

The University track and field forces will engage in two meets preliminary to their battle in conjunction, with Yale with the combined Oxford-Cambridge athletes at Stamford Bridge, England, on July 9. On Friday Coach E. L. Farrell will send six of his runners and weight tossers against the competitors who are to gather for the Knights of Columbus game on the Malden High School track, and on July 4 and 5, immediately after their arrival in England, the representatives of both Harvard and Yale will compete in the British open championships at Stamford Bridge.

Following Coach Farrell's return to Cambridge yesterday regular practice was resumed by all members of the Crimson track squad who have been picked for the English invasion. Most of the distance runners have been doing light cross country work since the close of the regular season with the Intercollegiates on May 28 and 29, and yesterday they were joined on the Stadium cinders by the sprinters and weight men, all of whom will practice daily until they sail for England on June 25. Arrangements have also been made to enable the Harvard-Yale track men to continue practice on shipboard.

With the list of events in Friday's meet limited to seven. Coach Farrell is entering his charges, in only four events. All the regular contests are handicap affairs. An invitation 100 yard dash, with A. B. Miller '27 opposed by Hussey of Boston College and Quinin of Holy Cross has been called off because of the inability of the two latter men to compete at this time. Miller, will, however, enter the regular 100 scheduled for the meet unless he is unable to run on account of the leg injury which he sustained in the Intercollegiates on Franklin Field and from which he has not yet fully recovered.

The other Harvard runners who will compete on Friday are E. C. Haggerty '27, J. L. Reid '29, and J. O. Wildes '29 in the mile, and Haggerty, Wildes and G. W. Smith '29 in the half mile. C. A. Pratt '28, W. P. Locke '27, and David Guarnaccia are also entered in the shot put.

Two special events have been arranged in both of which a small number of nationally known athletes will compete. Carr of Yale, holder of the world's record in the pole vault, will lead a field of three entries in that event. Harrington of the B. A. A. and Libby of Dartmouth being his rivals. A ten mile race is also planned in which four leading American marathoners are entered. Miles and Hanigan of the B. A. A. will fight it out in this race with Michelson of the Cygnet A. C., and Koski of the Finnish-American A. C.
