...Dennis, and Wheelwright are developing for the high jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put. In this event he is an almost certain winner, and Goddard is a possible point winner. Once more the hammer-throw presents a lack of heavy men, and Douglas and Parker of the 1912 team, each capable of only about 125 feet are the only other men in sight...

This year against Yale he won first place in the shot-put and second place in the broad...
...difficult precedent to follow, but his work has been characterized by pains-taking assiduity--not only that, it is common talk that his assistance played a material part in the success of other members of the team. On his own part, from failing to place in the dual shot-put a year ago, he has become the intercollegiate champion and all but record-holder. Starting with the material at hand, there is no reason why the hard work he can be counted upon to put in should not make for victories...
