...possibly the two mile, are conceded to the Crimson. The high hurdles and the high jump balance this advantage with two Yale monopolies. Eight points are granted to the Blue in both the 880 and 440 yard dates, but the same totals for the Crimson in the javelin and hammer offset these heavy scores...
...hammer throw is another Crimson event, with the possibility of eight or nine points. G. I. Shapiro '28 and T. H. Alcock '29 are practically sure bets for first and second places. Crile of Yale won the Princeton hammer throw with 122 feet one inch, while Shapiro took the Dartmouth event at the same time with a throw of 138 feet six inches. Alcock came in second with 136 feet six and one-half inches, so that the possibility of taking eight points in the hammer is well established. Third place in this event is an open question...
With the decide Crimson tinge of the shotput, discus, javelin, and hammer throws, the first half of the field events would appear to give Harvard a large lead. But the pole vault and high jump are Yale events that will offset the Crimson advantage. Captain Sabin Carr of Yale will have no competition for first place. Second will also go to the Blue if Hardy enters. Third should be taken by either B. G. Burbank '28 or F. B. Clark '28, who consistently do 12 feet six inches or better. Strong competition may result for the one point going with...
...result of the meet rests largely on the ability of the Crimson field men to come through with seconds and thirds to keep the Eli stars from piling up too large a lead. If P. N. Vonckx '31 in the hammer, V. M. Harding '31 in the high javelin, R. W. Fulton '31 in the high jump, H. P. Nichols '31 in the shot put, and P. M. 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...
Harvard has T. H. Alcock '29, G. I. Shapiro '28, and C. M. Churchill '30 to toss the hammer, C. A. Pratt '28, who has been doing well in practice the past week, and David Guarnaccia '28 to throw the javelin, and Pratt and Guarnaccia to heave the shot and discus. To stack up with these men the Hanoverians will place Phillips and Lyle in the hammer. Harden in the javelin, and McAvoy and Lyle in the shot and discus. The javelin, shot and discus may prove to be the most closely contested events of the meet, with the University...
