...year's Princeton Invitation Track Meet, barrel-chested Donald Ray Lash of the University of Indiana proceeded to dash the eight laps in the fastest time ever recorded for the distance outdoors. This year Princeton, hoping for another sensation, invited him to run the mile against Archie San Romani, Luigi Beccali of Italy and Glenn Cunningham, world's record holder. Gene Venzke also entered to shoot at the world mark for three-quarters of a mile, incidentally pace the other four...

Doctors considered amputation. A onetime coal miner, San Romani first came to notice last year, when he won the National Collegiate mile in California.
