Crimson Outdistances Bulldogs, Thinclads Romp in 130-32 Rout

The Harvard track team practically lapped a very weak squad from Yale, on the scoreboard as well as on the oval yesterday in the Stadium, as the Crimson swept eight events en route to a 130-32 victory.

The Elis, who frequently entered only one or two men in each event, could muster only two firsts in the meet.

Harvard turned in a strong snowing in the field events, led by Hasan Kayali, who copped a pair of firsts in the triple jump (46-ft., 1 1/4-in.), a Crimson sweep, and the long jump (21-ft., 5 1/4-in.).

Joe Pellegrini had an off day in the discus, but still threw the metal Frisbee 159 ft., 11 in. to pace another Crimson sweep. Dave Sullivan hardly soared in his speciality, the high jump, but his 6-ft., 8-in. leap was good for first place on the top of still another Harvard sweep.

Tom Lenz took the hammer for the Crimson with a toss of 191 ft., followed by teammates Ed Ajootian and Tom McDevitt. Chris Queen took first in the shot with a throw of 52-ft., 10 1/4-in., and Geoff Stiles went 14-ft., 6-in. to take the pole vault in the absence of Yale competition.

The Crimson also easily outran its Eli counterparts in the distance events, where Mark Meyer led a 5000-meter sweep with a 14:37 clocking and Thad MaNulty did the same in the 1500-meter with 3:56.5.

Eli Kurt Wolmack snatched the only Bulldog first in the field, as he threw the javelin 237-ft., 6-in. to outdistance Harvard's Dave King in second place by more than 40 feet.

The Harvard thinclads racked up two more sweeps in the short distances. Marc Chapus led a Harvard threesome with his 22.2 sprint in the 220, and Chris Nicodemus paced the Crimson in the 400-meter with a 49.8 effort.

Yale uncorked most of its meager speed in the 100-meter dash and the 110-meter high hurdles, as Bulldog sprinters grabbed first in both events. The Crimson, however, answered with seconds and thirds.

Scott Dolson won the 800-meter run in 1:54.1, followed by Eli Martin Osborne. Osborne also took the steeplechase, and collected the Treasurer's Award for the Most Valuable Performance by an athlete in a Harvard-Yale meet.

The Crimson harriers will face more strenuous competition against Northeastern in the Greater Boston Championships Sunday.
