Landau appears to be the best bet in both hurdles, with Yale's Dick Fisk giving him ample support. Dodge, and Yale's outstanding freshman sprinter Steve Snyder will handle the 100, with another Eli, John Halpern, teaming with Snyder...
...joint commission of officials of the two teams met to discuss the question of the elegibility of Burke and a sprinter named F.J. Quinlan. It seems that the London papers had declared them to be professionals, apparently because of some extramural running which the pair had done. The commission hastened to absolve both of them, and denounced the English papers which originated the controversy...
Probably the most satisfying event for Crimson fans was the 100 yard freestye, for captain Dyer gained a fitting revenge over Amherst sprinter Bob Keiter, who had beaten him in the 50 the day before. This time Dyer got an excellent start, and the smooth-stroking senior led all the way to win by a body length in the meet-record time of 49.4. Keiter, who was clocked in 50.8, finished half a length ahead of Yale's fading sprint star, Rex Aubrey...
Ironically, the worst split on the relay was recorded by Aubrey, supposedly the Elis leading sprinter and holder of the present Yale record at 49.0. It seems likely, however, that Kiphuth will throw his ace, and perhaps Armstrong, against Dyer, for he makes a practice of loading the events in which he expects tough competition. John Lind or Ron Mischner will have the dubious pleasure of swimming in the same race...
...freestyle event, the varsity should get little competition from a squad whose best sprinter, Clark, holds the school record for the 60-yard event with a 29.3. The 60-yard race replaces the 50-yard event. Clark is reportedly slower in the 100-yard free and should lose easily to Crimson captain Chouteau Dyer. Dyer will probably be backed by Jon Lind or Roger Clifton...
