...free-style time of 2:11.2 for the third race this year, Willie Kendall surged out in front of Yale Captain Johnny Macionis to win by a substantial margin.

Oldtimers still go on about William Vaughn Moody's smash hit The Great Divide, in which Margaret Anglin and the late Henry Miller were starred.
