Army, paced by winner Richard Shen, ran away with the race for the third straight year, placing seven men in the first 17 finishers, including three out of the first four.
Army's low point total was 27. Princeton was a distant second with 97, and Cornell placed third with 98. The other finishers in order were Brown, Yale, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Navy, Dartmouth, and Columbia.
The total for the Crimson was 169. First Harvard finisher was Dave Gregory in the twenty-third position. Gregory, last year's freshman captain, was clocked at 27:36. Captain Joe Leeming finished twenty-seventh.
Other finishers for Harvard were Dave Cairns, John Pankey, Henry Everett, and Bill Baker.
