Pratt and Guarnaccia are again counted on for points in the discus. Pratt is reported to have done over 140 feet in practice, and won the event at Dartmouth with a throw of 134 feet, two and one-half inches. Brandenburg took the Princeton discus event with 125 feet four inches. Guarnaccia has a chance to take third place in this event tomorrow, although the point is not being counted by even optimistic forecasters...

Sweezy '31 in the discus all come through with the performance of which they are capable, the Crimson will be in the running throughout and may provide a surprising upset...
...strength of the 1931 team lies mostly in the track events while the New Hampshire team is relying on its strength in the field to produce a victory Kuehn in the high jump and shot put, and Mark Tyson, in the shot, discus, and javelin are counted on to score heavily for Exeter, while the Freshmen are relying on Vernon Munroe '31, A. L. Watkins '31, W. C. Rowe '31, and R C Aldrich '31 to swell the Crimson total in the running events...
