...middle of May the leading scholars of the class were Adams Blondis, Gierasch, Loud Marfield, Norris, Rittenband, Sardomire, and Seidel, all of whom placed in Group I for mid-year grades. And the captains for spring sports were O'Connell of track, Cole of 150 pound crew, Shapiro of lacrosse, and Prior of an eminently successful baseball team...

Elapsed-time records showed that the winner was Erich Seidel, who, after starting last, had skimmed upright down the wild Arkansas in a record 3 hr. 4 min. 32 sec. While cheers echoed off the Rockies, Winner Seidel stood by unresponsively, fighting a case of stomach cramps. His companion. Theo Rock, who wound up second, sang a swan song.
