Benjamin should have a relatively easy time in the two-mile, but the important thing here may be what teammate Jed Fitzgerald can do. Only the 880 looks totally bleak for the varsity, as the Bulldog trio of Carroll, Ed Slowik, and Ned Roache seem unbeatable...

From a lighted window opposite, a man nodded curtly to signal that BBC television was closing the day's transmission with God Save the Queen...
