Crimson Wins Two of Four Weekend Tilts with Army

Harvard's track forces failed to deflate Army's wartime invincibility balloon Saturday at the Point, but their 52-point accumulation undoubtedly had Ivy coaches reaching for the aspirin. Before the meet, confusion resulted when the Crimson learned that fourth place was to be counted. The contract called for a first, second, third scoring plan, and Coach Mikkola had organized his team accordingly.

The Cadets, grabbing eight out of twelve firsts, won the meet with 66 points, while the Crimson put together three firsts, six seconds, five thirds and four fourths for a total of 52 points. Princeton trailed with 15 points.

Mikkola's winners came through pretty much as expected. Fisher, Felton, and Zeigler, throwing so hard they split one of the 35-pound weights in two, added 10 fat points to the Crimson total with a one-two-three performance. Wes Flint, newly-elected captain, scored an easy win in the 60-yard high hurdles and finished second in the unfamiliar 80-yard lows. Pete Harwood had no trouble winning the pole vault, stopping at 12 feet 9 inches.

Jackson Lakes Second

Bill Jackson threw the 16 pound shot 47 feet 4 inches, his best effort this season, finishing five inches behind IC4A winner, Doc Blanchard. Pete Garland and Gene Harrigan tied for second in the high-jump at five feet eleven inches, and Frank Gurley, eclipsing his personal record, ran second to Army's Heptagonal cross country king, Fred Knauss in the mile.
