...Ailing Bus Curwen was better than expected with a 5:07 440 and an easy second in the 220. The absolute dearth of talent on the visiting squad (with the exception, of course, of Schaper, Carter, and Gibbons) was clearly demonstrated in the relay. The Harvard quartet of Bob Sceery, Tom Shrewsbury, Dave Stearns, and Bill Jay had things all to themselves in 3:52.3. They won by about 25 yards...

Powers should not have too much trouble with him in the 220, but Curwen will have his hands full in the quarter. The star Sophomore distance man has been bothered with a bad cold for more than a week and is not in top shape for the meet...
...race by winning both the 220 and 100-yard free style races. These two firsts gave him a total of ten points. Joe McKinley of Columbia, with a first, a third, and a membership on a winning relay team, amassed eight points.
