...comes next down the line, made his bid for fame in the Boston University race, where he decided to emulate the feat of Alec Northrup, and run with only one shoe. When Northrup lost his shoe in last year's New England Relays, he turned in a 4:17 mile; and Tuttle did almost equally well as he ran beautifully to take first place--despite the fact that over the last three miles of the course he had one shoe on and one shoe off. Mikkola has only one thing to add about him--"if he could only spend...

Next to winning the 130-mile Albany-to-New York marathon, the most cherished dream of every U. S. outboard motorboat driver is to have U. S. 1 or U. S. 2 painted on his boat. The number U. S. 1 is awarded annually to the amateur outboarder who, during the season, has amassed the largest total of points in regattas sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association. U. S. 2 goes to the highest-scoring professional...
