Bill Watt's partner at the points will be Dick Dow, who will be used to stand off the brunt of the opponent's rushes and relieved by Lane only during the pinches...
...surprises saw Dick Hayes, Johnny Hayes and Milton Green qualify in the preliminary heats against highly fouted competitors and all reach the final heat of the 45 Yard High Hurdles.
