Although given a substantial lead by Record, which assured him of the race, Munroe anchor man for the Crimson quartet was able to keep up a pace fast enough to establish a new Triangular Meet record of 3 min. 27 1-5 sec. for the one mile relay team. Hennessey, leadoff man for the University fought a fierce battle with E. B. Noyes of Dartmouth throughout his entire lap, finally handing over a slight lead to Cummings who was able to increase this over Alcorn of Dartmouth and Rosenthall of Cornell. Record, third man for the University team, receiving...
...touted Harvard one-mile relay team rose to the highest expectations in the Unicorn games Saturday night at the Arena, distancing its Blue rivals by fully 40 yards. Yale suffered its Waterloo when Charles Engle, fleetest of the Eli runners, slipped as he was passing the baton to his anchor Tuttle, who dropped the stick. It seemed, however, to the more critical among the spectators in the thinly populated Arena that the race would have borne a Crimson tinge even if Engle had made a perfect pass, for Vernon Munroe Jr. '31 ran his quarter in under 50 seconds...
...poor third. W. C. Rowe '31, J. W. Fobes '32, David Cobb '31, and N. P. Hallowell '32 comprised the local contingent. The formidable Holy Cross threat was removed when Hegarty, Purple leadoff man, fell on the first turn. The last race, between Hallowell and Russell Chapman, Garnet anchor man, was nip-and-tuck all the way. In the last stretch Chapman, with his superior experience, forged ahead and won by four yards. The time was 8 minutes 2 4-5 seconds...
...Maryland at the Millrose games in New York last Saturday evening. Although it is not definitely certain in which position the other men will run, it appears now that V. L. Hennessey '30 will continue to be leadoff man, and Vernon Munroe Jr. '31 will again be in anchor position. E. E. Record '32 will be the fourth member of the group...
...Crimson one-mile relay team, with Vernon Munroe, Jr. '31 running anchor, will race in the Millrose games tonight against the quartets of Columbia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. V. L. Hennessey '30, W. C. Rowe '31, and E. E. Record '32 complete, the personnel of the Harvard group. The local runners captured a first place last year when F. E. Cummings '30 finished 50 yards in advance of the Maryland anchor man. E. C. Haggerty '27, who will accompany the University team when it entrains for the Empire City at 12.30 this afternoon, would make no statement last night...
