The fourth mile of the race, from the bridge to the finish, was really...

...seconds for the 200-yard dash. He ran a smart conservative race, letting the opposition wear itself out and finishing with a fine burst of speed to beat Captain Noyes of Dartmouth to the tape after running several brilliant time trials. During the spring season he injured a leg muscle and consequently was unable to run in the Yale meet on May 21. At present he is training for the Olympic tryouts and will accompany the Harvard team to the Intercollegiates in California during the middle of this month...
