Fenske Urged to Break 4:08 Mile Outlook by Brennan
New York coach Frank Brennan predicts Chuck Fenske will run a 4:08 mile before the indoor season ends and may push toward 4:02. Brennan praises Fenske as a born finisher with a loose stride, contrasting him with Cunningham’s tendency to tire. He projects a 4:03 indoor and 4:04 outdoor best for Fenske, noting his rhythm and speed. Rhode Island State’s basketball squad had limited success, with Panzer of East Orange extending a 40 game win streak. Oklahoma’s Uncle Cy Sherman reports high school star Jack Marquette weighing offers from Trojan agents for pay and tuition, amid reform talk at Oklahoma.
