...psychological battle continued off the track. The Oxford men regaled the Americans with tales of beerdrinking and cigar smoking during track season and then conducted the visitors on a tour of the local pubs in an attempt to substantiate their stories.

The ones we see drinking and smoking aren't the one's well be running against--but they don't tell us that...
...Harvard captain Albie Gordon and Yale sophomore Jim Stack. The Crimson's Joel Landau is favored in the high hurdles over Rex Van Rossum of Oxford, and either Landau or Yale's Jay Luck should take the lows. The 4 x 110 relay should go to the Americans.

Doty also had to use borrowed equipment, and like many others he staggered out of a 7:30 a.m. exam Friday morning before flying to New York for the trials...
Varsity pole vaulter Tom Blodgett is just six inches away from the very first rank of college vaulters after clearing 13 ft., 6 in. in the Heps. The rest of the varsity field event crew may run into trouble, although undefeated John deKiewiet could be a factor in the high jump...
