Showing considerable depth in every event but the broad jump, Coach Al Wilson's Yardlings had little trouble with their Big Three rivals. Strongest event was the weight in which Jim Doty took first place, Hank Abbott second, and Pete Briggs third.

Joel Landau raced to a win in the dash and a second in the hurdles, with Pescosolido third in the dash and Dave Rosenthal third in the hurdles.

Captain Al Gordon and Dave Brahms placed two-three in the 600, while in the mile, Bill Gillen took second and Willie Thompson third. In the two-mile, Jim Schlaeppi, Hank Brown, and Dick Benjamin placed second, third, and fourth, respectively.

Other Yardling winners were Bill De Keweit and Rosenthal in a four-way tie for first in the high jump, Dick Williams tied for first in the pole vault, and both relay teams. Dave Spinney placed second in the 1000, Rosenthal fourth in the broad jump, and Fred Washburn and Barrett Churchill tied for third in the pole vault.
