...race really started on the sixth when Cunningham pushed up into the lead. Venzke and then Bonthron followed him. With two laps to go, Venzke caught up with Cunningham and passed him. Half a lap before the end of the race, Cunningham repassed Venzke. Bonthron started his sprint coming around the last turn. He passed Venzke on the outside and started down the straightaway toward the tape, four yards behind Cunningham. Thirty yards from the tape, the gap began to melt.

With this competition the Harvard team will undoubtedly be pushed to the limit to keep its record of victories intact...

Wallace, who established a Freshman record for the furlong when he swam against Yale for the 1935 outfit, teamed with Fallon over this stretch last season. In the century sprint, George Wightman '34, and Herbert M. Howe '34, both experienced men, will carry the Crimson colors...
