...Crimson will have a decided edge in all the longer runs. David Cobb '31, unheralded double victor of last year in the 1000-yard and one-mile runs, will be back. This year he is entered in the mile and two mile runs. In the latter, he will face stiff competition from Levering, of Dartmouth, who beat J. L. Reid '29 to the tape last year in the time of 9 minutes, 41 2-5 seconds. Cobb and N. P. Hallowell '32 should take the first two places in the mile run hands down...
...nature is made clear. There is Pollack who goes crazy and is shot. There is the ensign in command, a little fellow just out of Annapolis, with a pathetic courage and a dormitory sense of duty, who faces death by recalling the heroic memory of John Paul Jones.

One sailor hangs onto a Chinese vase-he wants to save that-and another whittles a boat...
Harvard placed second to Bates in the grilling two-mile relay, with Holy Cross finishing a poor third. W. C. Rowe '31, J. W. Fobes '32, David Cobb '31, and N. P.

The last race, between Hallowell and Russell Chapman, Garnet anchor man, was nip-and-tuck all the way. In the last stretch Chapman, with his superior experience, forged ahead and won by four yards. The time was 8 minutes 2 4-5 seconds...
...real battle in this contest will be between the University runners, and Boston College, with the Eagles, undefeated thus far this season, slightly favored. Although Coach E. L. Farrell has not yet definitely announced his lineup for this race, with such stellar distance men on his squad as David Cobb '31, N. P. Hallowell '32, J. W. Fobes '32, and G. N. Barrie '32, he should be able to pick a quartet which will force the Boston runners to their utmost...
Captain T. F. Mason '30, J. B. Hawes '32, and F. V. Nissen '30 should furnish stiff competition to the sprinters from the other 14 New England colleges in the 50-yard event. David Cobb '31 will run in the half-mile, though Coach Farrell said late yesterday afternoon that the brilliant Crimson distance man might compete in the mile today if the Millrose officials would sanction...
