Despite the return of several lettermen from last year's squad, and the good showing of a few Sophomores, an unknown is expected to cross the line first, since the favorites give the other entrants all the way from a four to seven and a half minutes advantage. Gil Stewart '43 won the meet two years in a row by reason of a large handicap and last year Jack Jillson '42, who is now in the Naval Air Corps, finished first largely for the same reason...

Standing beside him last week for Mexico and all the world to see were six living past Presidents: Adolfo de la Huerta (1920); General Plutarco Elías Calles (1924-28); Emilio Fortes Gil (1928-30); Pascual Ortiz Rubio (1930-32); General Abelardo Rodriguez (1932-34); General Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-40), who exiled Calles in 1936.

Cleo O'Donnell twice failed with sacrifice bunts, then punched his fourth single to short left. Both advanced on Berg's bunt, and Whittemore came home after Bart Harvey's long fly to left field.
