Varsity Track Squad Rated Over Tigers

The Princeton track team has come to town with a crew of good hurdlers and dash men, and little else to challenge the Heptagonal champion Crimson power-house this afternoon in the Stadium. Hammer trials will begin at 12:30 p.m., with the first running event, the mile, scheduled for 2 p.m.

The Tigers appear especially weak in the distances, with the lone exception of sophomore Rod Zwirner in the mile, and in most of the field events.

Judging by comparative results of the Crimson's win over Dartmouth last Saturday, and Princeton's Wednesday win over Rutgers, the varsity should have little trouble sending Princeton to its second defeat in six meets.

Pete Reider, Dyke Benjamin, and Dave Norris look like sure bets to sweep the two-mile, while captain Dick Wharton, Jim Cairns, down from the 880 to fill in for injured French Anderson, and Al Gordon pose a threat of another Crimson sweep in the 440.

Tony Gianelly, Neil Muncaster, and Hal Anderson threaten to sweep the discus, while only the Tiger's Dick Knorr stands between record-holder Pete Harpel, John DuMoulin, and Jim Doty and a fourth varsity sweep in the hammer.

Doty is a sure bet to win the shot, while John deKiewiet appears unchallenged in the high jump. Carl Pescosolido might be pressed by Tiger Lou Enos in the javelin, but he should score another win for the varsity.

Only in the broad jump among the field events, does Princeton pose a serious threat, with three 21 foot-plus jumpers in Murray Peyton, Ray Empson, and Dave Smith. Henry Wente and Dave Gately will have to do much better than their weak showings of last Saturday to win.

In the 100 yard dash, Princeton has three aces, Crosby Boyd, Jasper Daube, and Hewes Agnew, who should press the varsity's Sandy Dodge and Joel Landau, while Daube in the 220 has run a 22.0, more than .6 seconds faster than Dodge's best time.

Only Joel Landau can prevent a Princeton sweep of the 120-yard high hurdles with Ed Williams, Glenn Kelly, and Bob Brown. In the low hurdles, Brown and Kelly should both press Landau.

Miler Zwirner and half-milers Dick McCready and Gene Shahan have all recorded creditable times so far this season, but Reider and Phil Williams in the mile, and Williams and Cairns in the 880 have done better.
