Mirken '57 Finishes 83rd in 26-Mile Run

A virtually unknown freshman, Gabriel Mirken, butran all other College runners in the Boston Marathon yesterday to finish 83rd in the large field.

Mirken, who had to quit the freshman track team because he gets leg cramps when he has to run fast, beat out Harvey Popell who was 84th, Bill Chrisman who was 88th, and Lon Pates who was 99th.

In other marathon activity yesterday, the Harvard track team won the team trophy for the 5 1/2 mile Lexing ton run. Hal Gerry led the team with a second place finish. Other placers were Hubie Maguire, 10th; Alden Carpenter, a freshman, 11th; and Jerry Maguire, 13th.
