Mikkola Claims Wind Had Little Bearing On Trimble's Record Toss

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Freshman Don Trimble's disallowed javelin record was the main topic of conversation yesterday as coach Mikkola and his athletes relaxed after their victory Saturday in the thirteenth annual Nonagonal Games.

After lavishing praise on everybody, coach Mikkola made it clear that he was a bit chagrined over the official decision on Trimble's Nonagonal record-breaking toss of 205 feet, 1 inch. "Actually," claimed the Harvard mentor, "it was a cross wind, not a following wind, and at any rate, there should have been wind meters available."

Mikkola praised Ted Withington's 49 flat anchor leg in the mile relay, and said that Captain Wes Flint would be much fresher for the IC4A's on May 30 and 31. Trailing the Crimson Saturday were Navy (43 1/2), Army (34 1/2), Penn (29 1/2), Yale (24 1/2), Columbia (19), Princeton (16), Cornell (13 1/2), and Dartmouth (12 1/2).
