...Dave Dunsky waged a head-and-head duel in the mile, with Jutras pushing ahead by a stride at the tape to win in 4:14.8. Dunsky lost another heartbreaker in the two-mile. With two laps to go, he sprinted past Dave Allen and looked like a shoo-in, but B.C.'s Bill Norris stuck to his heels and pushed by a few yards from the tape. The time was 9:12.8. Jim Smith was third and Allen fifth for Harvard...

Tho only three reliable batters on the Sox are outfielder Floyd Robinson (.301), first baseman Bill Skowron (.282, 17 homers), and infielder Pete Ward (.282, 23 homers). The White Sox won't leave too many opposing pitchers shell-shocked, but with Pizzaro, Peters, Horlen, Howard, and Wilhelm, they don't need...
