...declared that this was "the greatest Freshman track team Harvard ever had." As Sophomores the Class of 1940 have lived up to predictions, and this year's Varsity may before the end of the spring season be known as a Sophomore team. Of the nine Harvard places in the Quadrangular Meet this winter four were gained by Sophomores...
...these newcomers to the Varsity is James Lightbody, winner of the B. A. A. Hallahan Trophy. Only once since he has been to Harvard has he been beaten in a race; last July he was second to Godfrey Brown of Cambridge in the Oxford-Cambridge Meet. In the Quadrangular Meet a month ago he easily defeated Foster of Dartmouth and Nevius of Cornell in the 600 later to run anchor on the mile relay.

If discipline was not attempted by the coach, then it was squarely up to the Director of Athletics to take action...
...oldsters rubbed their eyes when, picking up their morning papers, they read about Jim Lightbody winning a 600-yd. run and setting a new meet record. It was not triple-Olympic Champion Jim Lightbody. to be sure, but his son, a 19-year-old Harvard sophomore, running in the Quadrangular (Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell) Meet at Boston...
