...hurdles, and Crawford and Erdman will be his running mates. Crawford has been a member of the team for three years, and Erdman is considered a sure point-winner in the short-distance hurdles. Crawford probably will compete in the high jump, and Hingham and Erskine in the pole vault. Kissam, Munsel and Madden compose the broad-jumping squad. Nourse, Gennert and Funk, all football players, will be able to take care of the hammer-throwing contests, and Sinclaire and Cleveland will be the Tiger representatives in the shot...

...greatest strength of the team will undoubtedly lie in the field events. In the pole vault the team will have a brilliant performer in R. H. Harwood, who is easily the most promising man the University has had for some time in this event. Harwood, who will be the team's mainstay in this department, is the National Interscholastic champion in the pole vault, and has a record of over 12 feet in competition. Of the other pole vaulters F. D. Johnson has been showing considerable promise, and should be vaulting over 11 feet in this spring's meets...
