Champion over the Varsity 4 1/2 mile course was Pon Tuttle '40, who ran the distance in 22 minutes, 29 seconds, leading John Frederickson of Boston University by 20 yards. Spectators were surprised to see Tuttle come in with one feet bare; he had lost his right shoe a mile back.

The first ten Freshman finishers are James Igo (BU), Robert Jay (H), George Byrom (BU), John Sopka (H), William Dias (H), Charles Robins (H), W.H. Young (H), Abbott Fenn (H), Tom McElligott (H), Richard Herlihy (H).
