...team is counting on running up a fairly large score, with Campbell entered in both the half-mile and the mile, Gardner in the pole vault, and Landon in the high jump. Landon won the high jump last year with a jump of 6 feet 4 inches, and although he has not cleared this height so far this year, he is probably capable of it if pushed, and should repeat his win of last year unless an accident occurs. Miller of California, who has cleared 6 feet 3 inches in the high jump this spring, may possibly beat out Landon...
Avery of Andover was high scorer of the contest, winning both the 120-yard high hurdles and the broad jump. In the former event he established a new Harvard Interscholastic Meet record, covering the distance in 15 3-5 seconds. Colson of the Allen School equalled the present record of ten seconds flat in the 100-yard dash...

The events in which new records are looked for are the 440-yard dash, the half-mile, and the broad-jump.
