Making use of Harvard and local athletes, the Fatigue Laboratory in the basement of Morgan Hall in the Business School works quietly and continually. Clarence De Mar, San Romani, Johnny Kelley, Cunningham, Venzke, even Barry Wood have undergone tests by riding stationary bicycles and performing other fatiguing exercises. In addition, several dogs are employed to measure their amount of heart beats and quantity of lactic acid. The Harvard's Film Service has produced a moving picture for the Laboratory...
With the Boston K. of C. Meet comeback of Joe McClusky in the two-mile two weeks ago, the longer distance will surpass the mile classic tonight. Glen Cunningham is generally conceded the mile in the light of his easy recent victories and the fact that San Romani was badly spiked last week in the Millrose Games.

When Venzke dropped out, Lash faltered and Cunningham and San Romani swept into the final lap to pass him. Twenty yards from the finish, San Romani spurted ahead of Cunningham and Lash uncorked his galloping sprint. As far as the spectators could see, they...
