Lightbody, Middle Distance Standby, Is Track Captain

James D. Lightbody, Jr. '40 of Eliot House and Glencoe, Illinois, ace-quarter and half-miler, has been elected captain of the Varsity track team for 1939-40, it was announced yesterday.

The son of a famous Olympic runner, Light body has rolled up an amazing record in three years of Harvard track. As a Freshman he won six individual races and anchored a winning indoor Yardling relay team. In the Yale meet that year he was beaten out by Torby Macdonald in the 220 for his only defeat.

Although he began his Varsity career with a defeat when Godfrey Brown of Oxford in the summer of 1937 edged him out in a 440 that was clocked under 48 seconds, since that time Light body has been virtually unbeaten in individual races and has anchored eight winning relay teams, three that placed second, and one that placed third.

The final entry list for the Oxford-Cambridge meet was also announced yesterday. Besides those previously announced, Brinckley of Yale has been awarded the number two spot in the high jump, since Bob Partlow, who is already slated to broad jump, withdrew; Marshall MacIsaac will be the second pole vaulter on the basis of his performance in the Heptagonal; and Yale's Bob Ord earned a berth when he beat out Joe Bradley in a special 880 run-off.
