Shaw and Scanlon shared "Iron-Man" honors with Harvard sophomore Walter Johnson and Tom Spengler, who also placed in two events. Johnson spent more than an hour shuttling between the high jump, the broad jump, and the high hurdles, earning runer-up laurels in the latter two events for his efforts. Spengler was a close third in the mile with 4:17.7 and held a stiff early pace in the two-mile before fading to 9:24.6, good for fourth place...
Dave Cass set a GBC freshman record in the high jump, clearing 6'3" for the victory. John Howland and Tom Raskin added points in the pole vault, and Steve Thomas teamed with Jack Shylling for places in the two jumps...
Tonight's schedule includes trials in the high jump, long jump, pole vault, and middle distances. Both trials and finals will take place in the weight events, with the shot put featured at 8:30. Harvard captain Dick Benka will square off in the circle against Northeastern record-holder Andy Kenney.

Trapped by advancing flames, some crewmen were forced to jump six stories down to the water, despite the devouring suction created by Enterprise's 30-knot speed. Others held fast against flying shrapnel and searing heat. Airman George Conditt, 21, of Chicago tried to pull a Phantom away from the fire. "While I was hooking up," he says, "a big piece of shrapnel flew through the plane. Fuel started running out and caught fire.
