...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...

In yesterday's meet Shaw failed to finish, and Colburn could only finish far back and in considerable pain. Colburn did make an encouraging gesture by outkicking a Yalie who tried to pass him in the stretch...
