...maintain for them. Of course, as in any team sport, that isn't the whole story; but situations may arise, as they did in the four-mile regatta with Yale, that the stroke must carry the shell when his mates are having trouble. In that particular back-breaker, too little pre-race warmup caused physical complications about half-way through among the men behind Cunningham, who practically bore the weight of the speeding shell by himself until they had regained their form. He did not feel the strain until the last mile when he tried to raise a spring...
...physical instructor in the Navy. His time then was 2:19.5, which still stands on the books until his new marks are officially accepted. But by now Joe can do better while scarcely getting out of breath. Last week's race was his fourth record-breaker of this season...
...team will be running no mean squad. Andover boats a team buildt up on a couple of years of experience as well as a potential record breaker for the 1000 yard run in Henry Stoltman, who will be running against the clock as well as Harvard in an attempt to slince the course record. Jerry Leeming, captain of the Freshman cross country team in the fall, will be the Crimson contender most likely to show his lteels in this event...
...terrific time registered by Dumboman Ted Vogel, who had left his teammates far behind, the Crimson was able to fill up those vital gaps and take over the second spot. When Vogel crossed the line in 21:56.6 some spectators wondered if they were witnessing a new world record breaker or on the other hand if the course of 4.25 miles had been inaccurately measured. If the course is right, Vogel was running close to a flye minute mile all the way, up and down hill at that. The record four mile on a cinder track is only a couple...
...open ocean the long swells may pass almost unnoticed, since they do not rise to breaker height until the trough begins to scrape sea bottom. Then, as speed is reduced by friction, the water piles up into steep, precipitous peaks. Last week in Hawaii eyewitnesses guessed the tsunami ran as high as 100 feet. Best estimate: 45 feet. Either way, they were enough to smash the city of Hilo on the exposed northeast side of the island of Hawaii, kill some 200 of its inhabitants, deposit 14 feet of silt in its harbor and wriggling fish in its coconut palms...
