Sophomore Mel Embree shattered the Harvard high jumping record in the Greater Boston Invitational Meet Monday night, soaring 7 ft. 1/4 in. on his last attempt. The record-breaking jump was televised locally as part of Channel 5's series "5 On Sports...
Except for a few new faces in the javelin competition, the squad expects to go with most of the old workhorses. Once again the fieldmen will be looking to pick up a slew of points. ICCA and all Ivy selections Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace and Mel Embree will be up to their old jumping tricks, taking the Ivies by storm.

In five years, Blazing Saddles will be one helluva film...
