...Haven Saturday by eking out a 71 1/3 to 68 2/3 victory over Yale. Firsts in the dashes by Dick Weiskopf and in the hurdle events by Charlie Durakis, sweeps in the two mile and the quarter, a first and second in the mile, and firsts in the javelin and broad jump contributed to the close...
Fred Raverby upholds the Crimson in the shot and the javelin, in which he has greatly improved recently.
