Between the heats of the dashes Gourdin hopped back and forth between the broad-jumping pit and the hot-put ring. jumping toward a mark which was set at 23 1-2 feet, he cleared it by several inches, winning the event and establishing a new University record of 23 feet 11 7-8 inches. Meanwhile he got second place in the shot-put with a heave of 39 feet 4 inches, beating Dandrow, Tech's weight star, by three-quarters of a foot...
...pole-vault was perhaps the most spectacular event of the evening. A special board runway was constructed, with a dirt catch for the pole, and a dirt landing pit. In view of the difficulties attendant on staging this event indoors, the hazy atmosphere and the lack of a proper background against which to view the bar, topping the 12-foot mark reached by Harwood and Gardner was a very creditable performance. There was little to choose between the style of the two men as they cleared the bar. On the toss to settle the tie, Gardner won and was awarded...

With Chapin and Owen as Team A backs every day this week, it seems likely that Coach Fisher will pit them against Maine tomorrow, giving the two veterans, Humphrey and Gratwick, another day of rest. This combination of last year's Freshman backs, working with Johnson and Captain Horween, seems to give a smooth running backfield organization...
Coach Slattery will pit against Amherst the same line-up which was to have faced Virginia on Saturday. In the outfield, however, he will rearrange his men, going back to the order which he has used in other games. Hallock will take his old position in center field, while Perkins will go to right field. On the mound Goods will have an opportunity to try his slow curve against the visitors, while Hardell will be held in readiness to fill up the gap in case of need. Gammack will catch for the first time since his illness after the Spring...
