George Finkle, better known here as Henry; son of Mr. and Mrs. G.S. Finkle of
this city (Greenwood, Clark Co., Wis.), is gaining prominence as a runner. In a
recent issue of a Madison paper we note the following:
"In a closely contested race, Wisconsin won her first cross country meet of the
season from the Gophers by a score of 27 – 28. George Finkle '23 of Wisconsin
easily led the field over the muddy course, finishing the 4.7 miles in the fast
time of 25 minutes and 43 seconds."
Last Saturday the Wisconsin cross country team overwhelmingly defeated the
Chicago squad.
The Badgers took the first five places. Finkle came in from the five mile
stretch in 26:54.
