Powerful Thinclads Will Seek Win Against Traditionally Weak Bruins

With two top runners and four men out nursing injuries, the Crimson, thinclads will have to work harder than usual to achieve their traditional rout of Brown this evening in Providence, R. I. In the two schools 18-year-old series, Harvard has downed Brown ten out of ten times and in their last two meetings, the Bruins haven't come within forty points of Harvard.

Although the margin of victory is hard to predict, there is little doubt as to whether Harvard will win.

Runners Roy Shaw and John Gillis, weight man Ed Nosal, and the three regular broad jumpers will not compete so as to rest their mildly-injured bodies for the Big. Three and the Heptagonal meets. The Crimson should have little difficulty disposing of a team that fell to North-eastern, 65-44, a few weeks before Harvard whipped the Huskies, 72-46.

The Crimson will most likely overpower the Bruins in the relays- two-mile and one-mile, and in all the running events from the 600 up. Harvard captain Keith Colburn should run away from all Bruin competition in both the 1000 and the mile. Mike Koerner should win the two-mile, and Harvard thinclads Tom Downer and Ed Dugger will fight for the victory in the 600.

Ed Diamond will receive stiff competition in the dash from Bruin captain Greg Ouellette, and the Crimson's top hurdler, Walter Johnson, should run almost evenly with Brown's Bill Robbins.

With Jake Driscoll going in the 35 pound weight throw, Harvard has a slight edge. In the other field events, however, Brown must be considered a slim favorite. Although there is a good chance that Crimson athletes will not win in the shot, the broad jump, the high jump, or the pole vault, they should pick up enough points to enable their teammates in the distance events to carry Harvard to a substantial victory.

The powerful Yardlings should roll to their fourth consecutive dual meet triumph against the Brown freshmen. "In Brown scores 30, I'll be surprised." said Harvard freshman coach Pappy Hant yesterday.
