...SHERRY MANGAN Paris, France...
...indoor season, Venzke, still a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate at 27, has, for the most part, played third fiddle to Bill Bonthron and Cunningham, has strangely lost none of his popularity with the crowd. Bonthron, now married, has retired until the third Princeton Invitation Meet in June.* Joe Mangan, one-time Cornell miler who defeated Cunningham last month, was recovering from influenza.

Lap after lap Cunningham piled on speed, locked in a picture race with Mangan and Pennsylvania's Gene Venzke who followed in close Indian-file pursuit at his back.
