Previously, Yale's Perryman had taken the first heat in 23.8, beating Garrett, and Julian Armstrong, of Dartmouth, had won the second heat, also in 23.8, with Harvard's Jim Curwen third. Curwen placed fifth in the final behind Garrett, Russ Duncan, of Yale, Armstrong, and Perryman, a formidable field for any 50-yard race...
