Yale and Harvard Consider England Track Tour
New Haven reports Yale favors a joint track excursion with Harvard to England this summer to race Cambridge and Oxford. A formal challenge via letters will be sent as a preliminary feeler, then negotiations may begin if responses are favorable. Yale lacks top distance runners but has strong weight men and, with Harvard’s speed, a balanced squad is possible. Mullins has quit running, so Yale won’t field its long distance relay team in Philadelphia.
