...California victory was, to repeat, due primarily to the westerners' remarkable exhibition in the field events, particularly in the shot-put and discus and javelin throws. This strength was in its turn caused in a large measure by the work of Merchant, the individual star of the meet who alone captured 13 points for his team, winning first in the hammer, second in the shot-put, and fourths in the javelin and broad-jump. This is the first time that any man has scored in four events in the Intercollegiates since 1900 when the versatile Kraenzlin of Pennsylvania rolled...

Hartranft, Leland Stanford shot-putter, has the best American college mark with a throw of 147 feet 9 inches, while Newfeld and Muller of California have come within 13 and 20 feet of this mark respectively. Weatherdon of New York University has made one of the best Eastern records with 125 feet 11 1-2 inches, while Legendre, Thompson of Princeton, Kellet of M. I. T. and Jordon of Yale have been performing consistently, if not brilliantly...
...events this year, the javelin and discus throws, will not differ from the other events by failing to produce some exciting competition. The finals of the javelin-throw will be held inside of the Stadium Saturday and the spectators will be given a chance to watch the Westerners, who are practically in a class by themselves in this event. Legendre of Georgetown is the East's most consistent representative, but his throws of 170 and 174 feet pale in comparison to the reports from the coast which credit Hanner of Leland Stanford with several practice marks of over 205 feet...
