...record smashing Glenn Cunningham, "little" Don Lash, or Earl Meaddows, but Harvard Sophomore James Lightbody walked off with the John J. Hallahan Memorial trophy for the outstanding performance of the B. A. A. Meet Saturday night.

This was the most exciting race of the evening, though Lash's time was comparatively slow, 9:4.6, over six seconds behind Lash's record...
