Other Crimson point scorers were Frank Yeomans, fourth in the 100; Jed Fitzgerald, third in the mile; Dave Brahms, fifth in the 440, and the mile relay quartet second...
...team, 99 to 41, in the Stadium. Gordon turned in one of his 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...
