Ohiri's performance will certainly rate as one of the top marks of the season. After easily moving ahead of the field in the trials on Friday with a leap of 48 ft. 8 in., the Nigerian star returned on Saturday to pass the celebrated 50 foot line with a ump of 50 ft. 1 in. Ohiri's leap would have easily qualified him for the 1960 United States Olympic trials; as it was, the jump shattered the old IC4A record set by Winston Cooper...
Another fine performance was turned in by Chum Azikiwe in the triple jump. Zeke captured third place behind Ohiri with a leap of 47 ft. 1/2 in., one of his best jumps of the season. A slight disappointment was the showing of sophomore Peeter Lampe in the javelin. Lampe was able to capture sixth place in a strong field, but his throw of 199 ft. 9 in. was well below his University record...

Harvard will probably pick up extra points in the triple jump from Chum Azikiwe, who has been over 46 feet several times during the year...

Mottley stayed out of the quarter to enter the 100-yard dash. Jay Mahaney won the pole vault with a leap of 13 feet, John Ogden swept the 880-yd, run in 1:56.2, followed by Ed Meehan and Keit's Chiappa...

For Yale, Jerry Hinkle won the javelin, with Harvard's Hinkle won the javelin, with Harvard's Peeter Lamp third; Sam Streidert led a Bulldog sweep of the high jump with a 6 ft. 6 1/2 in leap; and Chuck Mercein won the shotput over Art Croasdale with a mighty 58 ft., 2 in heave...
