TRACK

Ellie Noyes appeared to be facing a spring season that would be little better than the poor winter track record. Except for strength in the high jump and pole vault, the team appeared to have an uphill fight ahead.

Opening meet was scheduled for April 15, the Boston College Relays, followed by dual meets against Boston University, Harvard, Brown, and Springfield. The spring Heptagonals will be held May 13 at West Point, and the Intercollegiates at the end of May in New York City.

Other spring sports were ready for trial-and-error workouts followed by reasonably stiff schedules for April and May. Lacrosse was to start March 25 against Baltimore, then get into a rugged regional and league schedule commencing April 12 against Holy Cross.
