Penn, which dethroned Harvard as indoor Heptagonal champion last winter, will battle the Crimson and eight other challengers this weekend for the outdoor Heptagonal title.
"Penn is a team that features both strong individual performers and a well-balanced distribution of talent," Crimson coach Bill McCurdy said. "They are a contender in every event. To win, we need to meet our full scoring potential."
In the indoor meet, Penn topped the Crimson 461/2-28, but the score is deceiving. Harvard was within ten points entering the final relay events. Also, Joe Naughton, a consistent scorer in the hammer, unpredictably fouled out of his event.
Besides Naughton's points, the Crimson field hopes ride with Ed Nosal and Teddy DeMars in the hammer throw, Richie Szaro in the javelin, and Howie Corwin in the triple jump. McCurdy is also counting on one of his three high jumpers. Sred Lang, Ed Baskauskas, and Bill Birhle, to clear 6'6".
Baylee Reid could be a dark horse in the 100-yard dash as he beat Army's top entry this spring and pushed heavily favored Don Martin in the Yale meet. Harvard's top chances in the distance races rest with Bob Clayton and Dave Elliot in the 880 and Jon Enscoe, Tom Spengler, and John Quirk in the mile. Quirk is recovering from a cut foot.
Four Team Race
McCurdy predicted that four teams could challenge both Penn and Harvard. "Princeton and Yale gave us close meets, Cornell beat Princeton, and Navy has a lot of first place potential," McCurdy said.
