There is still some uncertainty about one man in the 100-yard dash, 380-yard run, mile run, 120-yard hurdles, the shotput, and the pole vault. Tests will be held at Cambridge on June 10 to determine the second men in the high hurdles and the shot, while the other still doubtful entries will be decided upon the basis of their work in the intercollegiates next Saturday...
Connor, who took sixth place in the hammer throw at the Olympics, will win his event, while Stewart of Yale, Alcock, and Vonckx will fight for the other places. Weicker and Brandenburg are conceded the discus while the shot put seems close, with O'Gorman of Yale favored on past performances. Wolf, Yale, is favored in the high jump, while French and Rowe seem best in the broad jump. Yale Daily News...
...fine track team--well balanced, well coached, alert, competent. In toppling Princeton 86-49, Yale won the 100 yards in 10s, the 220 in 21 7-10s, the quarter in 49s, the two miles in 9.54 7-10, the low hurdles in 23 3-5s, the shot at 44.5 1-2, the hammer at 165.2 1-2, (breaking a record of 25 years' standing), the discus at 135.7 1-4 and the pole vault at 13.4.

On paper the die is cast against Harvard; on the cinders, in the shot, discuss and hammer circles and in the jumping and vaulting pits the story may be something else again. Everlasting enthusiasm and spirit has been crowned by success in the past...
...third luminary of the Freshman aggregation is G. W. Kuehn '32, whose 5 ft. 11 inches in the high jump and 50 foot heave in the shot-put are better than the best marks of the University team this season. His teammate, A. C. Draper '32 is also a stellar performer in the latter event, throwing the shot for a distance of 46 feet in the meet with Exeter last week...
