Penn's George Lokken had run a valiant race, staying close to Harvard pacesetter Royce Shaw for the first four miles. Throughout the race they were joined at the front by a succession of Harvard runners; first Doug Hardin, then Dave Pottetti, and finally Tom Spengler. Mid-way up the last hill, Lokken suddenly found himself surrounded by four opponents. When Spengler raced right past the leaders, his teammates joined him, leaving Lokken gasping in the dust...
...Harvard foursome loped down the hill and onto the flat final stretch, Shaw sprinted into a commanding lead, followed by Pottetti, Hardin, and Spengler closely grouped behind. They finished in that order, a scant ten seconds separating the first from fourth...

Pottetti appeared unhampered by his blisters in chalking up his best race to date...

"Peerless Pete" is the holder of the freshman two mile record and was beaten to the mile record by a fraction of a second by his roommate, Jon Enscoe. Pottetti is easily the loosest, most relaxed runner on the team. His long-range goal is to make the Olympic squal as a steeplechaser...
McCurdy is somewhat concerned over the health of his squad. Senior Tim McLoone has been advised to stay off his ailing thigh muscle and will not run today. Hardin, Royce Shaw, John Heyburn, and Max Schweizer have all been troubled with intestinal flu this week. Sophomore Dave Pottetti is still suffering from blood-blistered feet and junior Keith Colburn has been slowed so far with tendon problems. But he may be forced to play in his slot at the front of the pack today. Erik Roth, Tom Spengler, and Howie Foye can be expected to run their usual steady races...
