Up the long slope toward Wellesley College, Steiner slowed down and John Kelley of Arlington, Mass, and a pale, unhappy-looking Finn named Dave Komonen soon caught him. From the sidewalks, Wellesley girls waved to the runners who pass through their town in underclothes once every year-Leslie Pawson, last year's winner; cheerful Jimmy Henigan, winner in 1931; Paul De Bruyn, the furnace-man who trained...
