Coach Quinn's methods with the field event men have been so uniformly successful that he may be depended on to turn out several point winners. Another season should see great improvement in Lawrence, and Barker, Mueller, 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...

On the final stretch he carefully gauged the distance between himself and French of Cornell, taking care to keep just out of reach. French in turn was in no danger of losing his position to Spitzer of Yale, who finished fourth...
