Princeton, which has yet to win the title, has good balance in both the field and the running events. It is stronger in the field, however, where it could take as many as four firsts.

In Miami, a radio station offered literally to bet the shirt off the back of anybody who wanted to take the Redskins. The switchboard was immediately flooded with thousands of calls, many long-distance from Washington...
