Potter Pedals to His 2nd Victory

Cyclist Reaches Wellesley Ahead of Large Contingent

Led by John Potter, Jr. of Dunster House, 16 cyclists raced out to Wellesley yesterday morning in the third annual Harvard Bicycle Racing Club contest.

Potter sped over the 10 1/2 mile course in 28:30, for an average of over 21 miles per hour. With this victory he achieved the distinction of being the first man to win two races run by the Club, and in addition he lowered his last year's record by eight minutes.

Following Potter at a distance of about a hundred yards were two Freshmen, Charles H. Reynolds and Stephen M. Crabtree, but they were disqualified for taking the wrong course. Officially second was J. Leland Sosman '43, Dunster House football star. Sosman was followed by Albert Fullerton '44, winner of another race last year, while in fourth and fifth places were Thomas Allen, Jr., club chairman, and Leonard Weis '44, Outing Club leader. Prize ribbons were awarded to these five.
