The undefeated relay team, consisting of R. G. Allen '26, F. P. Kane '26, C. G. T. Lundell '27, and L. L. Robb '26 outran the Williams College runners in a mile race in the time of 3 minutes, 39 seconds. The time would have been much faster had not Lundell collided with a man who was walking across the track. The University led all the way.
The University entrants in the dash, A. H. Miller '27 and H. W. Burns '28, showed that Harvard will have power in the short event for some time to come. Miller placed third in the final to Hussey, a member of the Olympic team, and Lever, former intercollegiate champion.
