Best Material in Years Faces Yale in Old Cage This Afternoon

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Climaxing several weeks of informal practice in which attention has been concentrated upon good form and upon jumping with a very short run, Harvard's Varsity and Freshman pole-vaulters will engage in a competition for height this afternoon in the Old Cage at Soldiers Field. Never in recent years has Harvard Field-Event Coach Jaakko J. Mikkola had so much material with which to attack Yale's nearly supreme vaulting tradition. The squad is composed first of two top-notch veterans, Frank Schumann '35, Varsity football guard, and J. D. Woodberry '35; then the holder of the present Freshman record, Sophomore Emile Dubiel, who received All-American mention for his play at end this fall, T. F. Piper '36, H. A. Cook '37, A. K. Barcewicz '36, and two Freshmen, W. L. Pettingell and A. B. Carlson.
