Just read this thread, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Here is a large cabinet of the 1903 Cornell Track Team with Porter (second row, first on the left), his Sophomore year. While solid, he was far from the best athlete on the team. That distinction went to Warren Ellis Schutt (third from right, bottom row). He was the best distance runner in America at the time, and Cornell’s first Rhodes Scholar. He skipped the 1904 Olympics, where he was favored, in order to prepare for Oxford.
