...contests Saturday several men stood out conspicuously. Captain J. W. Burke '23, in winning the 600-yard run, showed abundant power and finished the home stretch with a strong sprint. W. R. Chase '26, who led both in his section of the 100-yard dash and in the 350-yard run, was the only double winner, but C. R. Hauers '23 and LeB. R. Barker '26 each won a first and second place...

Allen '26 all ran well, Allen's phenomenal sprint on the last lap, coming within a few yards of tieing for first place. Equally unexpected was the high-jumping of S. B.
