Ithaca N Y May 11 AP America's college distance runners approach prewar standards and Cornell coach Jack Moakley predicts a well balanced field for the fifty seventh IC A A A A two mile at Harvard Stadium May Willard Tibbetts of Harvard appears favored to defend his 1925 title and may threaten the college record of 9 minutes 22 25 seconds set by Ivan Dresser of Cornell in 1919. Moakley notes the best college mark 9 17 4 5 by Tell Berna of Cornell, but only under ideal conditions could the record fall.

He cites participation by Cornell 14 titles, Penn 4, Harvard 2, Johns Hopkins 2, and individual wins by Yale Columbia Michigan Williams.
