If he runs in both events, it is quite likely that he will capture a second place in each, although the strain may prove too much for him. R. C. Aldrich '31 and J. O. Wildes '30 are the other Crimson hopes in the mile run. Both have been showing up well during the cross-country and winter seasons and are considered capable of coping with...
