Malott was indeed a great talent. In his senior year, 1938, he was near unbeatable, even by Harbig. Dink Templeton went to the point of setting up special races for him that year to try to break the world record. But no luck. I'm sure I saw some of those (as well as the regular Stanford dual meets), but memory grows dim.

Thanks! I always like to look at the picture from the US-Germany dual meet from '38 with a super relaxed looking Malott hitting the tape in the 400 about 4 meters ahead of a more strained looking Harbig.
