...Philadelphia last week the Indiana Uni versity team of Melvern Trutt, Jimmy Smith, Tommy Deckard and Don Lash, of which only Lash was an outstanding miler, cut this world's record by 1.1 sec. Out standing individual performance of the four was that of unheralded Negro Jimmy Smith, who covered his mile in 4:14. At the Penn Relays a total of six meet records was set, of which one, in the Class B mile relay, was set by Elmer & Delmer Brown, with their teammates Johnny Stovall and Alvin Chrisman, a twin whose brother is no runner.

...this, it will strengthen the Crimson relay outfit so much that they might easily win the race. The two other contenders in this classic mile run who will be well back of the three leaders, are another Ithacan, Bob Boynton, and an Eli, Holderness.

There is no decent shot putter worth much at New Haven, and the mile situation doesn't look too good because the best miler, Woodland, will be fighting his hardest in the two mile. Cornell's Johnny Meaden looks like the mile winner with Alex Northrop having an outside chance to topple him. Meaden won a comparatively slow 880 for the Ithacans on Saturday with Cornell's other crack miler, Howard Welch, taking that...
