...Crane '17 goal; H. F. Sullivan '17, point; W. B. Snow '18, coverpoint; L. U. Miller '18, third attack; H. M. Dampman '18, second attack; and G. B. Hebb '17, out home. M.

Haydock '16 has left the pole vault without one good vaulter, and incidentally, the team without a single man who has won his "H" in a field event. The 1919 track squad was also noticeably weak in the hammer-throw, shot put and pole vault, but it has sent men up to the University squad who, with training, should develop into able performers. They are C. A. Clark '19 in the shot...
