...spring to within four points of breaking the Yale winning streak which has instead since 1922, pointed out that several of the events will probably be complete sweeps for both reams. The mile, and possibly the two mile, are conceded to the Crimson. The high hurdles and the high jump balance this advantage with two Yale monopolies. Eight points are granted to the Blue in both the 880 and 440 yard dates, but the same totals for the Crimson in the javelin and hammer offset these heavy scores...
...French '29, in addition to being the favorite in the 100-yard dash, is depended upon for a first in the broad jump. His leap of 23 feet 11 and one-half inches in the Dartmouth meet, although discounted by a favoring wind, is nearly one foot farther than any Yale jumper has reached this spring. The closest competition will come in this event when G. A. Lomasney '28 battles with Oldt and Brandenburg of the Blue aggregation for second or third place. Against Dartmouth last week Lomasney jumped 22 feet eight inches, while at the same time Brandenburg...
With the decide Crimson tinge of the shotput, discus, javelin, and hammer throws, the first half of the field events would appear to give Harvard a large lead. But the pole vault and high jump are Yale events that will offset the Crimson advantage. Captain Sabin Carr of Yale will have no competition for first place. Second will also go to the Blue if Hardy enters. Third should be taken by either B. G. Burbank '28 or F. B. Clark '28, who consistently do 12 feet six inches or better. Strong competition may result for the one point going with...
...high jump is a Blue event. Harvard will be fortunate to take even one point. Neither P. S. Brown '30 nor F. T. Burgess '30 have done better than five feet nine inches consistently in clearing the bar, while Kaul, Clegg, and Larsen of Yale should all be able to better this mark...
