...team will be decidedly the underdog when it travels to New Haven to oppose the Eli track and field men Saturday afternoon. But Harvard's track teams have a habit of outdoing themselves against the Blue and this year's group in particular has showed an ability in the Dartmouth meet to fight for the split point and the final third place...
...upsets, with Dartmouth undertaking a surprising power-in the distance runs, and the Crimson coming back in the field events and dashes when its chances seemed most slim resulted in a victory for Coach Farrell's men by a scant seven point margin.

Brown '30 crashed through to second place with a leap of 5 feet 11 inches, higher by an inch than the jump of famed Tom Maynard of Dartmouth...
