Elis Favored to Retain Track Title

On the basis of its greater depth, Yale figures to retain its Big Three track title in the triangular meet at 1:30 tomorrow in the Coxe Cage at New Haven.

Judging from individual performances, the meet should be close, and the varsity could pull an upset if it wins the relays, the last events. The varsity mile relay team has defeated both Yale and Princeton twice this year. Yale, however, won the two-mile relay when the three teams met in the Knights of Columbus meet and a repeat victory may enable the Elis to squeeze the Crimson into second place in the meet.

Strongest event for the varsity is again expected to be the two-mile run, where Pete Reider, Dave Norris, and Ralph Perry could all place. Dick Wharton and A1 Wills are capable of winning in the 1000 and the 600 respectively against the formidable opposition of Princeton's Tempest Lowry and Yale's Bob Skerritt, as should Kip Smith in the pole vault.

On the other side of the ledger are possible shutouts in the broad jump, high jump, dash, and hurdles. The loss of ace Joel Cohen will hurt the varsity most keenly in these events, for he would have been favored to win both the hurdles and the broad jump, and might have placed in the dash.

Additional points for the varsity may be scored by Phil Williams and Ken Wilson in the mile, French Anderson in the 600, and Jim Cairns in the 1000. In the field, Captain Art Siler should place in the shotput and Pete Harpel in the weights.
