Well Taught. The difference was Princeton-Cornell's battery of two head coaches and two assistant coaches, including Cornell's venerable (85) Jack Moakley. His well-tutored pupils won six events. In his 50 years as track coach at Cornell, Jack Moakley had developed more championship track squads than he could remember. But he won even more renown as a competitor who put as much emphasis on sportsmanship as on winning. In 1920, when he went to Antwerp as coach of the U.S. Olympic team, Jack Moakley had time for all foreign athletes who sought his advice...
...Americans understood better than silver-haired Jack Moakley what the Oxford-Cambridge team was proving in its U.S. tour: that competition can be fun and that a good athlete does not have to train to razor fineness to make a respectable showing. This week, Bannister & Co. planned to do better against a combined Harvard-Yale squad, but their day in Cambridge, Mass, would not be spoiled if they...

The Elis will be right in the running in all of these events on Saturday, with Bill Handing, the star pole vaulter, being pretty sure of taking his event. The star Eli's principal opposition will come from the Crimson's Win Pettingell, who, while at Exeter, once beat Harding, then an Andover star. But since that time the Yale boy has stepped out and he did 13' 9" at the Millrose...
