Quaker Ernest Tracy, second to the Crimson's great Dyke Benjamin in last year's meet, will be the man to beat today. Teammate Jon Jerbasi and a host of bright sophomore prospects should give Tracy strong support. Moreover, it is rumored that Penn has an experienced returning serviceman who may upset all predictions...
Greg Baldwin, Jack Benjamin, and Ralph Perry completed the varsity's scoring by finishing sixth, eighth, and ninth, respectively. Bob Knapp and Wes Hildreth, the Crimson's last two official competitors, took 11th and 12th, followed by Don Kirkland and Dick Slansky in 13th and 14th...
...ready this fall with a list of impressive books that might never see print without university backing. Harvard University Press (over 100 titles last year) is bringing out the first of four volumes of John Adams' diaries. This month, Yale will publish the first of 40 volumes of Benjamin Franklin's papers. The University of Minnesota has launched a series of critical introductions to U.S. writers aimed at foreign readers, while the Johns Hopkins Press is running off copies of its five-volume Presidential Nominating Politics just in time for the 1960 campaign and a raft of orders...

It will be a long time before a runner with Benjamin's dogged determination and competitive pride wears a Crimson uniform...
