In 1912 the New York Athletic Club established the world's record for the mile as three minutes 25 1-5 seconds...
...yard dash W. Willcox, Jr., '17, who has covered the distance in the phenomenal time of 48 seconds flat, will be the mainstay. A. E. Rowse '18, J. Coggeshall '18, F. T. Donahue '18, H. W. Minot '17, J. F. Ryan '19 and W. H. Meanix '19 have all done the quarter in fast time and will do good work in this event. Captain Teschner, who has been running the 440 indoors, may also be used in the quarter in outdoor meets. These men will help to fill the vacancies in the 440 made by the graduation...
