Schmidt Seizes Wheel Title In 29 Mile Race to Wheaton

Wheeling his bike over a 29-mile course in the fast time of one hour and 15 minutes, Al Schmidt '43 won the Outing Club race to Wheaton College yesterday. In a field of 11, eight men pedalled the whole course along the Newburyport Turupike and Route 140 to be welcomed by a score of beautiful girls.

Following Schmidt by seven minutes, four men, Art Besse '42, Art Driscoll '45, Sean Murphy '44, and Al Fullerton '44, sprinted to a photo finish. Werner Maas '43 was forced to drop out of the race after about two miles, having lost several spokes from his front wheel on the wing-nut of Bosse's bike.
