CRIMSON RELAY QUARTET CONQUERS RHODE ISLAND

Jaako Mikkola's one mile relay quartet is one of fine potentialities, as was shown last Saturday afternoon when it ran away from a supposedly strong Rhode Island State outfit, on the Briggs Cage boards.

The only change from the announced lineup was in the number two position, which had Mark Tuttle, originally scheduled to anchor the two mile relay, running in place of Steinbauer, who was detained at the time by Navy obligations.

It was lanky Cliff Wharton who really broke up the race, taking over from Tuttle on the third leg, and on a flying exchange of batons, building up a 20 yard lead, as he turned in a blazing 52.1 quarter. Anchor man for the Crimson, Bob Clark, set a blinding pace himself, in increasing the lead to almost 50 yards before tying up near the end and relinquishing all but the original 20 yard advantage.
