A doxtrose-filed Freshman plodded his way through 26 miles of concrete roads and woodland paths yesterday in the annual Boston Marathon. He is Lawrence R. Zeitlin '51, who entered the race "just to ace if I could do it."
Zeitlin believes he finished in the first hundred, but only the names of the first 50 men to finish were published in the Boston papers last night.
"I tried to keep up with the peace setter," he declared last night, "but I pulled a leg muscle in Framingham, and, naturally, slowed up going through Wellesley."
Another Yardling, Donald C. Wyner '51, had also entered the super-sprint, but he was forced to withdraw after doctors advised him not to run, due to an old leg injury. He attended the Suffolk Downs opening instead.
