Liles Takes 500

Captain Pat Liles gave Harvard its first K. of C. Games blue ribbon in several years Saturday night at the Boston Garden. In the Farrell 500, Liles easily out-ran Yale captain Ed Slowik, the favorite, but had to fight off a blazing stretch challenge by Rhode Island's Vin McAloon to win. His time was a fine 58.3.

Shot putter Steve Cohen produced the second best indoor toss in Crimson history, a 51 ft., 10 in. effort, to take runner-up position. Although he added a quarter-inch to his University weight throw record, Stan Doten went unplaced with his 57 ft., 1 in. heave.

Running anchor on the freshman mile really team, Lowell Davidson thrilled the crowd by gaining 45 yards on the Providence leader and coming within a yard of victory.

Tom Blodgett cleared 13 ft., 6 in. in the pole vault. He also made the finals in the hurdle event, a considerable accomplishment.
