...Compton Cup 1¾-mile record, swamping M.I.T. by 7 lengths and Princeton 9½ lengths. In the 1¾-mile Adams Cup regatta on Annapolis' Severn River, they finished 5½ lengths ahead of Navy and 9½ lengths in front of Pennsylvania. The 2,000-meter Eastern Sprints on Worcester's Lake Quinsigamond were a little closer: Harvard walloped undefeated Cornell by 2½ lengths-widest margin in the Sprint's 20-year history. "Even seeing doesn't help," mutters Princeton Coach Dutch Schoch. "You still don't believe...
...curious thing is that Jazy runs best against nobody. Most runners find extra energy when a challenger pounds up alongside. Jazy freezes.

Clarke stole the limelight from New Zealand's Peter Snell, 26, the world record holder in the mile, who had to run a 55.1-sec. final quarter to edge Oregon's Jim Grelle with both men clocking a fast 3 min. 56.4 sec. The Aussie's great run made it four new world records...
Robinson will run the 440 and possibly the 220; Smith will enter the mile and possibly the 3000-meter steeplechase, a race he has never run before...
