Abandoning all host-like cordiality, a 16-man Varsity track contingent carve itself a sizeable portion of the Harvard Invitational Weight and Field melon last Saturday afternoon at Briggs Cage. A crowd of about 200 watched the Crimson score in all five events.
From the spectator's viewpoint, the climax of the meet came when Pete Harwood, leading Varsity polevaulter, wriggled over the bar at 13 feet. Outstanding among other Mikkola scorers were Jack Fisher, who placed secand to Bob Bennett, of Brown, in the NEAAU championship 35-pound weight throw; Dave Reed, whose 21 foot, 1/4 inch leap earned him second place in the broadjump; and Pete Garland, who took second in the 16-pound shot and tied for third in the high-jump. Since the meet was invitational, no score were kept. It was the last competitive tuneup for the Varsity prior to next Saturday's Yale meet.
The summary:
35-pound weight throw (NEAA Uchampionship event)--Won by Bennett (Brown); second J. Fisher (H); third, Miller, (R:I); fourth, X. A. Felton (H). Distance--52 feet, 3 3/4 inches.
