Captain Gardner of the Elis is conceded the pole-vault. He has done better than either Davis, the premier University vaulter, or Gratwick, whose work has been improving very fast lately, have ever done, but Davis, unless bothered by his old injury, which kept him out of the meet against the Engineers, will surely win second place, while Gratwick, who has done 11 feet 6 inches, looks like the logical choice for third place over Hulman, whose mark against Princeton was only 11 feet...
...pole-vault and shot-put are both more promising from the Crimson point of view than the jumps. Coach Farrell hopes to have Davis, his premier vaulter, in good condition and if this is the case the University should clinch five points. The consensus of opinion would give second place to Sheldon of M. I. T., but Gratwick has shown great improvement this year, winning the event in the triangular meet with a vault of 11 feet 6 inches. Reidy, moreover, has cleared 11 feet and may possibly give Sheldon or Gratwick a hard struggle. In the shot...
...miler and winner of several 400-yard indoor races this winter; Adams, former interscholastic champion in the mile and captain of the 1923 outfit last spring; Huhn, a promising hurdler; and Croft, star sprinter for the Freshmen last year. W. S. Powers, former Exeter star, and the best pole vaulter on the 1923 team, is ineligible also on account of scholastic standing; while Baker, the hammer-thrower and football player, is unable to compete because of the two-sport rule...
...Harwood ocC., the University's star pole-vaulter, will compete in this event at the Carnival, and is expected to place, while Gourdin will take part in the broad jump as well as in the medley relay. R. S. Whitney '22 and R. W. Fitts '23 in the high hurdles, and J. M. Tolbert '22 and J. F. Brown '22 in the shot-put will round out the University delegation...
...Harwood '20, the star pole-vaulter, will return next year and is eligible for another year's competition. H. R. Davis, the versatile field event men of the Freshman team, M. Gratwick '22 and T. C. Wales '21 are also expected to show up well next season. The broad-jump will be taken care of by Gourdin, R. W. Fitts Unc., who was high point scorer in both the interclass and handicap meets this spring, and L. Dejonge '23. The high-jump presents a large array of promising material; among these men are Krogness, Gourdin, Fitts, Davis...
