...Dartmouth fortnight ago Miler Glenn Cunningham ran the world's fastest mile in 4 min. 4.4 sec.

Without close competition-Gene Venzke crossed the line 30 yards behind him-he breezed through a mile in 4 min. 7.4 sec., breaking his own (recognized) indoor record by one second.

Only 18 times in foot-racing history has a man run a mile under 4:10- the dividing line between milers and super milers. Superman Cunningham did it last week for the eighth time. Track experts predicted that Cunningham will do a 4:03 mile...
