Yale distance men Frank Shorter and Steve Bittner could give the Crimson headaches in the three distance events. Bittner will probably concentrate on the 880 or mile run Saturday, where the chief Harvard contenders will be Royce Shaw and Keith Colburn. Although both Shaw and Colburn sport better career times than Bittner, neither has been able to top the Yale star's times this season in either event...
Shorter and teammate Steve Bittner hung back in the early stages of the mile as Harvard's Royce Shaw set the pace. But both unleashed strong finishing kicks to outdistance the Crimson ace in the last quarter-mile. Shorter edged Bittner at the wire, clocking...

...Bittner ran the 1000 Saturday, but lost to Crimson Colburn who defeated him with a superb tactical race. If Bittner should again challenge Colbur instead of running the mile, coach Bill McCurdy will put Shaw in the 1000 to give Harvard a first and second place threat in that event over Yale...
