Captain Wharton will seek the first Crimson victory in history in the Eddie Farrell 500, an annual event in the meet, named in honor of the former Harvard track coach. Farrell was the brother of Jim Farrell, who presently in charge of the equipment room at Dillon Field House. Last year, Skerritt nipped Cairns to win the last few steps.

Art Martin and Joel Cohen will enter the hurdles, while sophomores Joel Landau and Sandy Dodge will enter the dash and Dick Williams the pole vault. Bill deKiewiet will high jump.

A freshman mile relay team of Ed Martin, Art Hoyt, Art Cahn, and Pat Liles will compete in the freshman contest.
