Pardee joins a long and distinguished injury list on the track team. Hurdler Tony Lynch pulled a muscle in the Heptagonal high hurdles and is a doubtful starter Saturday. Sprinter Wayne Andersen was below from in the Heps, and distance runner Walt Hewlett aggravated a calf injury...
...Yale meet might have been a close one, but when injuries kept shot putter Bob Greenlee and sprinter Mark Young away, and Henry Cole pulled a muscle in the 440, the Elis lost any chance of keeping the score respectable. It wound up at 119-35, the most humiliating slaughter in the meet's 75-year history, and the third year in a row that Harvard has run up 100 or more points on Yale...
