Hardly anyone said anything. Ron Wilson, last year's big man, hovered around the 47 mark. Sophomores Charley Ajootian and Bob Benka broke 49. But it was a very disappointing afternoon. And things could be worse today when the putters run up against 54 foot men at West Point.
In other events:
Pole vault: Steve Schoonover, who won against Army last year, will find some real competition against the Cadets over the 14 foot mark.
High jump: Charlie Njouku, who has cleared 6' 6", ought to be an able replacement for Chris Pardee. But Army is strong here, and Njouku could encounter some trouble.
Broad jump: Army won't be much of a match for a solid, though not exceptional Harvard squad, led by Harvey Thomas, who beat the Cadets last year.
Hurdles: Again, the Crimson should dominate with Terry Golden showing the way.
Relays: Harvard won both last year. This time the mile is safe, but a crippled Huvelle and Burns won't do the Crimson any good in the two-mile.
Hammer: Ajootian, Wilson, and Gene Mazel will have to tangle with some big Army weight men in the meet's first event.
