Unfortunately, the fellows couldn't represent Pe4 State in the - National meet since they lacked the necessary quoriiirn of Blue and White runners; and didn't have any gas to put in the gar they didn't . • have. Undiscouraged, however, they set out to find a' agar store to sponsor them, and wound up by becoming_the Shanahan C.

In placing all six men in the first eleven to finishthe Shanahan group became the first Pennsylvania team to ever win the AAU's and, in . addition, sent the New YOrkers back to. their, respective stables viatoryless for the first time in 20 years.
