Outside of the high jump, where John deKiewiet is a heavy favorite, with Yale placing two-three, and the relay, in which Yale has nearly four seconds better than the varsity, the other events are toss-ups.

...field events, Henry Wente and Dave Gately took first and second for the varsity in the broad jump, while John deKiewiet figured in a three-way tie for first in the high jump. Carl Pescosolido unleashed a toss of 201 feet, 3 inches to win the javelin, while Doty took the shot. Tony Gianelly took the other Crimson first as he won the discus.
