...another mile relay Yale's team of Brooks, Easton, Paradise, and Sultze placed third behind Fordham and Georgetown. The winning time in this event...
This fall there were signs of sprint-legged life on Fordham's playing field.

In the calmer second half (only four major penalties) Army kept its command. Final score: Army 35, Fordham 0.
