...tall, redheaded sprinter with the free-floating stride made his bid on the turn of the 200-meter dash.

His time: 20 seconds flat. It was 0:10. 1 better than his own previous record...
Last weekend Captain Ludington won "Jock" Whitney's Greentree Tourney at Manhasset, L.L., for college players, although all other Crimson entrants, including Stanley Yassukovich and Dave Olyphant, did not go past the quarter-finals...
