Saltzman narrowed the gap to a quarter of a body length over the first six laps, but Coglin refused to be beaten. Harvard's winning time of 6:41.84 was a mere .03 seconds better than the Tigers, but the stunnning victory sank Princeton's title aspirations and sent the capacity Blodgett crowd into hysteria...
