  • Cambridge - June 13-14
    1924 Cambridge - June 13-14 As in 1920, all finals were held on the second day except the walk, with heats on the first day, while all semi-finals took place on June 14, except for the 400m hurdles. A number of athletes did not make the top-4 in the trials, but were nevertheless selected because of their consistency in previous competition, showing a far greater flexibility of approach than was to be seen after World War II. The principal athletes who benefited were: Loren Murchison, Leroy Brown, John Watters, Alan Helffrich, George Lermond, Alfred LeConey, William Comins, Ernest Oberst and Pat McDonald. The New York Times noted that there were 419 entries, compared with 259 in 1920. Timing was with 1/10th and 1/5th of a second watches. Times are shown in tenths of a second for uniformity of presentation. The venue was efficiently served by the Boston Elevated Railway, which enabled large crowds to quickly get to and from the stadium. 100 Meters 15.20 Hr 1. 1. Chester Bowman (Syracuse) 10.6 2=. 3.

  • Maine Running Hall of Fame Biographies: Through the Class of 2006
    Maine Running Hall of Fame Biographies: Through the Class of 2006 Edited by Ed Rice Prince Memorial Library Cumberland, Maine 2021 1932 Houlton Cross Country Team No Small Potatoes As a result of some fine running by the Houlton cross country team in 1932, a few more people from outside Maine learned how to correctly pronounce “Aroostook,” and even others learned where Houlton, Maine actually was. That year a talented bunch of runners, coached by Clyde Stinson, won the national schoolboy cross country championship and put Houlton on the map. The story begins with a man who, until he went to the University of Maine at Orono, had set foot on the mainland of Maine only once in his life. Clyde Stinson had grown up on the island of South Deer Isle and entered the university in the mid-1920s, where he quickly became interested in running. On the same team as the legendary pair Bud Lindsay and Harry Richardson, Stinson’s cross country squad at Maine won three straight New England cross country titles, and in his senior year they took second in the national championship after finishing third the year prior. After graduating in 1929, Stinson took a job teaching chemistry at Houlton where he talked the principal into starting a cross country team. In 1930, Stinson’s boys won the County championship and placed fourth in the state meet. Then in 1931, they won the state championship, putting six runners in the top 10. Leading the way was Houlton’s senior Frank Sherwood, who set a new state record on the course.

  • In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April Doesn’T Mean Just Spring
    In Pursuit of Ghosts and Unicorns April doesn’t mean just spring. It also means it’s time to marathon. BY RON MCCRACKEN “It may be springtime in the Rockies, but it’s Marathon time out here…” —from a poem by Bertha Kelley, mother of Johnny “The Elder” Kelley h, yes, marathon Monday in Massachusetts, according to the governor’s proclamation, approaches once again. Time to chase ghosts and unicorns, Aurges the whimsical mind of many marathoners. “Bricklayer” Bill Kennedy, who won the 1917 edition of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon and ran it a few dozen more times, accurately captured the thoughts of his fellow runners obsessed with the annual trek from Hopkinton to Boston. In a 1932 letter to John Halloran of the Boston Globe, he philosophized, “The lure of the Boston race, Johnnie, is far greater than any in the country and, to me, the world. I can only speak of my own thoughts; but I have been close enough to run- ners for 30 years that I also know their thoughts, hopes and chances—to win the Boston Marathon, that is the dream of every runner. Sometimes I hardly believe I realized that hope 15 years ago; I am still dreaming, still building castles, and actually believe I am going to win again. “All marathon runners are dreamers; we are not practical. The hours we spend every day, every year! The strength we expend over long lonesome roads and the pot of gold we aspire to receive for it all! The end of the rainbow, Johnnie, is a survivor’s medal.” My pursuit of my ninth “survivor’s medal” this year begins, as always, when I arrive at my room at the old brownstone at 463 Beacon Street.
