In the 1928 meet, the Crimson secured the better end of a 28 to 34 score, R. C. Aldrich '31, present captain, placing second to Leslie Flaksman '29. Thus far this season the charges of Coach Mikkola have defeated Holy Cross by 19 to 53, and avenged themselves for last year's defeat at the hands of the New Hampshire Wildcats by turning the tables...
