...problem of training was tackled in relation to age and physical fitness, and to various amounts of daily exercise. For these tests, the Fatigue Lab doctors had a chance to study on their treadmill in 1937 a few crack runners like Glen Cunningham, Don Lash, Archie San Romani, Chuck Fenske, Gene Venske, and Sid Robinson. And measurements were obtained that set new records in human power...
...Gaunt & gainly Gunder Haegg, Sweden's No. 1 foot racer: a 2,000-meter run in 5 min., 16.4 sec.; clipping four-tenths of a second off the accepted world's record set by Kansan Archie San Romani in 1937; at Malmö, Sweden.

Hailed as another Nurmi, Haegg has been invited to tour the U.S. next winter...

Eight years ago Venzke ran a 4:10 in Manhattan for a world's indoor record, for a time stayed out in front, but finally gave way to Bill Bonthron, Cunningham, others. For last week's meet, Boston meetmakers tried to shunt him into the half-mile, but Venzke said the mile or no go. In the running he trailed for seven...
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. So tonight the fans will be hanging over the balconies for a McClusky-Don Lash duel...
