...Captain Jeff Huvelle, who took second in last year's Heps with a time of 1:11.8, will be joined by sophomore ace Keith Colburn. Colburn, although now plagued by an achilles tendon injury, may be the greatest middle distance runner in Harvard history. Last year as a freshman he broke the Yardling record in the 1000 with a time of 2:12.2, tied Huvelle's 1:10.5 University record in the 600, and ran the country's fastest freshman half-mile in the British Nationals...

He has also won the Heptagonal and Greater Boston 1000-yard titles...

But Peter Dennehy and Frank Sulloway, who had not placed in a race all year, paced the team to victory...
Baker ran undefeated through all the dual meets and won the GBC's, bearing a terrific burden, as first Colburn, then Shaw were lost for the season. When Hardin hurt his hip, the pressure on the gaunt 23-year-old increased, and fatigue finally got the better of him in the Big Three Meet...
