Plagued by a handful of injured stars and a fear of additional injury in the first competition since exams, track coach Bill McCurdy has apparently given up his determination to sweep both the Greater Boston Intercollegiate meet at Tufts and his dual contest at Dartmouth this weekend. The Crimson will definitely participate in both events, but the decision as to who, where and when "is as confusing and muddled as the United Nations," according to McCurdy.
If his field men, led by weight thrower Art Doten and shotputter Olney Croasdale, can pick up a commanding lead in the G.B.I. tonight, McCurdy might possibly leave behind a few key runners to bid for the meet championship tomorrow afternoon. Without a big lead, though, only a "token squad" will remain.
The Indians have won only one of five meets and should be no threat to the Crimson powerhouse. Instead, the Dartmouth Winter Carnival will witness one of the most exciting individual matches of the year.
Harvard's great sprinter Aggrey Awori, who turned in one of the best performances by a Crimson athlete in recent years in the Boston Athletic Association meet during exam period, will duel Gerry Ashworth, Dartmouth's Ivy League champion. Ashworth nudged Awori in the BAA, but Awori, who tied meet marks in both the hurdles and the sprint during the preliminaries of that meet will be rested tomorrow and should be considered the favorite.
