Harvard's pole vault contingent will again be strong with tri-captain Jim Kleiger, a 16 ft. 6 in. vaulter, returning from last year's 6-0 winter track squad. Kleiger's competition will come from teammates Blayne Heckel, Donald Berg and Steve Haynes, all 15 ft. plus vaulters...

Despite its almost biblical overtones, the scene is catapulted into the present by the true nature of the crosses-actually a telegraph pole and a highway sign -and by adjacent State Highway No. 7, apparently a road to nowhere.

It is disappointing to see a man of Penn's caliber ripping off an old master...
