When a track coach loses a potential national intercollegiate champion through premature war service graduation, and still gets eight hours sleep a night, it is time to examine the rest of his team. Varsity mentor Jaakko Mikkola will miss javelin thrower Dave Murray this spring. He will have other headaches too, trying to strengthen the sprint department. But overbalancing these defects is the apparent overall depth of the team. The Varsity squad which emerged from Briggs Cage two weeks ago is virtually the same one which grabbed fourth place in the indoor IC4A meet earlier this month and which throttled...
...Coach Mikkola, like a mechanic overhauling a car for spring driving, is currently gearing this Crimson machine from winter to spring operation.

Soft-spoken in manner, energetic, Iron-willed Barclay took effective command of the situation. Building around a nucleus of only two superior players, Barclay squeezed every possible ounce of talent out of his small squad and came up with a quintet that has been a credit to crimson colors, handing the championship Columbia five its only loss in Ivy League play, as well as downing Yale and complling...
