Winters's meet record pole vault of 13 ft, 5 in. was the highest of his own Harvard career and earned the loudest applause of the evening from the Briggs Cage spectators. Winters had the bar moved all the way up to 13 ft., 9 in. but on his first try at the height the pole snapped in half during his ascent.

Now, back of the racket, can be heard the insistent voice of still another competitor in the rocketry race-the hybrid that manufactures its power by combining liquid oxidant with solid fuel.
