It was Northrop, too, who gave Gene Venzke such a terrific battle in the Heptagonal games at the Stadium last May. If he has approached...
...last moment Coaches Neufeld and Mikkola decided to enter a heretofore nonexistent Freshman relay team in the B.A.A. Meet held in the Boston Garden on February 13. Consisting of Light body, Torbert MacDonald, Rock Hollands, and Hobart Lerner, the relay team not only entered against Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Boston College Freshmen, but won the race in record time. To Light body go special honors: his 50-second quarter brought victory to the Cambridge Freshman contingent...
