MIA produced a landslide of ath-
letic talent in the field events on
the Harvard oval today. and in
consequence won the annual inter
collegiate track and field title
with a generous total of 4Ok
points. Led by such men as
Muller. Merchant and Morris, with
Barkey. Witter and others filling

points without setting spike on
the track, the remarkable Mer-

the festivities, according to their
respective fancies. A group of
Californians hammered incessantly
in one corner of the big conCrete

on the names of Brick Muller and
Johnny Merchant. The latter was
