...Tommy Carroll breezed home in the 880 with a meet record time of 1:51.3. Harvard's John deKiewiet tied the series mark of 6 ft., 3 in to win the high jump. Two more quick victories, by Yale's Mike Pyle with a 157 ft., 2 in. discus throw and Harvard's injured Tom Blodgett with a 12 ft., 6 in. pole vault, gave the Americans hope for an easy victory...
...general, the British performers were suprisingly inept in the field events. England's two discus men, Arthur Perry and G. R. Northern of Oxford were great hulks of men, but they had trouble coming within 20 feet of the winning toss by Pyle of Yale. On the other hand, the wispy English distance runners ran circles around their larger American opponents. The two-mile was originally planned as a three-mile test, but was shortened out of courtesy to the Americans. Even so, Benjamin, the best American two-miler, was 11 seconds behind Oxford's Gilligan. While the Americans religiously...

Bill Markle of Yale should finish first in the shot put and his teammate Mike Pyle is the discus choice. All four high jumpers, Patrick MacKenzie and Peter Jackson of Cambridge and John deKiewiet and Marty Beckwith of Harvard are right around the 6 ft., 3 in. level, but deKiewiet is the most consistent...
...Crimson hammer throwers, Stan Doten and Jim Doty, are around the 180-ft. mark and could score well. Doten and John Bronstein could place in the discus, but the varsity's two 50-ft shot putters, Hank Abbot and Steve Cohen, may find themselves out of the running...
...best competitive efforts, a 48.3 440, but Tiger sophomore Dick Edmunds won by a step, establishing a new meet record. Benjamin's bid for a University mile record fell short, as he was beaten by teammate Jed Fitzgerald in 4:16.2. John Bronstein won the discus with an excellent 158 ft., 33/4 in. toss, and John deKiewiet took the high jump for the second straight week...
