He established a new quarter mile mark of 40 seconds and came back in his second race to nip Wells, the speedy Dartmouth hurdler, as the finish of the 220 yard low hurdles for first honors in 25 seconds. Captain Tibbetts ran away from the field in the two mile run with E. C. Haggerty '27 chasing him all the way to the tape, to smash his own record by one and a fifth seconds. His time was 9 minutes...
