After graduating in 1937, Furman was called up by the Army Reserve in December 1940.

...team will travel to New York today to compete in the Heptagonal Championships in Van Cortlandt Park. But this isn’t just another race. It’s the Ivy League Championships, where the Crimson will go head to head with competitors including Yale and No. 4 Princeton.“[The race] doesn’t mean anything in terms of qualifying for the postseason, but clearly there is a lot at stake,” Harvard coach Jason Saretsky said. “Any chance you can go against your peers, there is a little more...
