Elsewhere the Crimson showing was pretty drab. Yale piled up 48 points in the field events, cleaning up the first places everywhere except in the high jump, where Hollis tied for first with Conway and Deacon of Yale. Miller scored four points for the Freshmen on the field, taking second place in the shotput and third in the javelin, while Captain Lundell, in addition to winning 10 points on the track, took third place in the shotput and added another point of his team's scant total...
...more clean sweeps for Yale will come in the broad jump, pole vault, and hammer throw. "Comins, Cheney, and Weinecke are better than anybody Harvard has, and should finish in that order.' Schlopp, Durfee, and Yale will pin the nine points for the pole vault without trouble. And Earl, Lufkin, and Marting will clean up for Yale in the hammer throw...
Harvard is given big concessions, however, in the high jump, as Gerould will probably win that event, with Hyatt and Jenney fighting for third, after Gifford of Yale has taken second...
...other field events may be viewed in a more rosy light. Mr. Barnett, in forecasting the meet from the Yale standpoint, overlooked the ability of Hyatt to come through in surprising moments in both the broad and the high jumps. And it is on this fact that the Harvard men, who remember Hyatt's winning high jump in the Yale meet last year, pin their hopes for several points. Gerould and Hyatt, then, both of Harvard should take the first two places in the broad jump, while Gifford of Yale will have to content himself with third place...
Yale has an impressive collection of broadjumpers. Comins is an easy winner, as his 23 ft. 73-4 in. jump in the Princeton meet would indicate. His team-mate, Weinecke, did over 22 feet in the same meet, but Harvard optimists are hoping that Hyatt will be able to come through with a jump which will beat that. In that case, Yale will get six points and Harvard three from this event...
