Proud possessor of a defensive unit that called itself the "Destroyers' Club," Harvard had allowed its opponents only 230 yds. and 7.6 points per game. Yale, a team that ranked No. 3 in total offense, had averaged 467 yds. and 36 points a game...

Gasping in the thin air, every muscle rubbery with fatigue, Toomey led all but a few strides of the way and drove to victory by 30 yds. Final score for the ten events: Toomey 8,193; Bendlin 8,064-a total that dropped the West German to third, behind his countryman Hans-Joachim Walde, who had also run a faster 1,500.
