Pete Harwood, New England A.A.U. pole-vault title holder, entered the V-12 and Eliot House from Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire. His father, a 1920 Harvard man and U.S. Olympic pole-vaulter, started Pete vaulting with an old birch pole in the fifth grade at Concord, Mass.

...Pole Vaulter Cornelius Warmerdam, making his last Eastern appearance of the season (he is too serious about his school-teaching at Piedmont, Calif., to ask for more than two leaves during the school year), left all opponents behind at the 14-ft. level, cleared the bar at 15 ft. 3 ⅞ in.
