...Running Broad-Jump.--Won by P. O. Gourdin '21 (H.), 23 feet 11 7-8 inches (new Harvard record); second. C. G. Krogness '21 (H.), 21 feet 3 1-2 inches; third. E. Prescott (T.), 20 feet 10 inches...
Between the heats of the dashes Gourdin hopped back and forth between the broad-jumping pit and the hot-put ring. jumping toward a mark which was set at 23 1-2 feet, he cleared it by several inches, winning the event and establishing a new University record of 23 feet 11 7-8 inches. Meanwhile he got second place in the shot-put with a heave of 39 feet 4 inches, beating Dandrow, Tech's weight star, by three-quarters of a foot...
Krogness also did fine work in the field events. In the broad-jump he did better than was expected, getting second with 21 feet 3 1-2 inches, and in the high-jump he and Fitts tied for first at 5 feet 9 1-4 inches.

Fitts won the 220-yard low hurdles in 22 2-5 seconds, barely beating Chittick, Tech's sprinter-hurdler, at the tape, while Whitney came in a close third...

In the three sprints the 1924 won two seconds and two thirds, but in the distance runs and in the weight and polevault events the New Hampshire schoolboys made practically a clean sweep...
Londan and Cowies in the high and broad-jumps respectively are two other likely first-place winners for Yale in today's meet. Londan won the Olympics last year in the high-jump, and barring accident should be able to outleap any man on the Princeton squad. Martin and Hannon will also help the Elis in repeating lst year's performance of a clean sweep in the high-jump. Cowles in the broad-jump is pitted against Lourie, who won the event in the dual meet last year. But the latter this season has fallen behind his rival and must...
