TRACK ATHLETICS

The recent track season was one of the most successful in Dartmouth's athletic history. Yale's relay victory over Dartmouth in New York January 26, and Dartmouth's victory over Pennsylvania in Boston, February 10, have already been recorded in the 81-MONTHLY. The victory of the two-mile team in the race for the national championship at ' Philad elphia, April 28, was a great achievem ent, and ranked with the New England intercollegiate championship as the most important accomplishment of the year in this branch of undergraduate activity. The lateness of the spring, and its direct influence in the overwhelming defeat at Cambrige, May 5, was a discouragement which brought out the true strength of team, captain, and trainer. The winning of the intercollegiate championship was indeed typical of Dartmouth enthusiasm and determination.

RELAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Dartmouth's two-mile relay team composed of Thrall Jennings, Shipley' an Rose, romped away with the two mile relay championship of America at the twelfth annual Pennsylvania relay carnival at Philadelphia, April 28. Finishing the first relay in last place, Dartmouth forged to the front before the second relay was over, and in the third and last half-miles made the contest a runaway race, Thrall leading a dozen yards at the finish. The time was 8.09 3-5.

flie first half mile was won by Wilcox of Pennsylvania by ten feet, with Hetherington of Columbia second and Rose of Dartmouth third, in 2.02 4-5. In the second relay, however, Dartmouth came to the front strong, Shipley outstripping by three yards Folsom of Pennsylvania, who was five yards ahead of Marsh of Columbia ; time 2.02 2-5. The third relay found Dartmouth still further in the lead. Jennings opened the gap to ten yards over Latimer of Pennsylvania and Fulton of Columbia, who ran almost a dead heat ; time 2.03 4-5. In the final half-mile Plirall romped home an easy victor, winning by twelve yards over Zink of Columbia and Coldwater of Pennsylvania in the fast time of 2.00 3-5.

HARVARD MEET

Harvard defeated Dartmouth by a wide margin in the first dual meet ever held between the two institutions, May 5, at Cambridge, winning by a score of 101 to 16.

Lack of out-door training was the principal cause of Dartmouth's poor showing, the men often leading the field in the early part of the race, only to fall back exhausted before the race was finished. In spite of the onesidedness of the score, however, the meet was interesting and exciting, the results of almost every event being in doubt until the finish. In the 100 yard dash and half mile, aconference of judges was required to decide the places. The best of feeling was in evidence throughout the meet.

Only one record was broken during the games, Stone of Harvard lowering the Crimson record in the two-mile run, from 9.541-5 to 9.494-5. Though no other records were broken, there were many good performances. Minot covered the mile in 4.32, Dodge won the 220-yard dash in 22 seconds; Grant and Hazen vaulted 11 ft. 6 3-11 in., though the latter's vault did not count, as it came after he had failed three times; and Shaw won Dartmouth's only first in the high hurdles in 15 4-5 seconds.

Harvard won twelve first places, ten seconds, and eleven thirds, while Dartmouth took one first, three seconds, and two thirds. The summary :

NEW ENGLAND INTERCOLLEGIATE

Dartmouth easily won the New England intercollegiate championship games at Brookline, May 19, with a total of 36 points. Brown was second with 23 points, Massachusetts Institute of Technology third with 21 5-6, and Williams fourth with 19 5-6. The other point winners were Maine, 14 1-2; Wesleyau, 12 1-2; Amherst, 11 1-3;. Tufts, 8; Bowdoin, 5; and Trinity, 2.

The meet was closely contested and interesting throughout. Technology went to the front during the first few events, and it was not until Thrall captured first, Shipley third, and Cams fourth, in the half-mile, that Dartmouth went to the front. Even then Brown and Technology kept within striking distance until the last events, Gage's victory in the hamrner throw and Hazen's in the pole vault putting the New Hampshire team out of reach of the other institutions. All-round strength was responsible for Dartmouth's victory.

Three records were broken at the meet. Farrington of Technology raised the high jump mark from 5 feet, 953-4 inches to 5 feet, 10 1-4 inches; Dearborn of Wesleyan made a new record of 120 feet, 11 1-2 inches, in the discus throw, and Hubbard of Amherst lowered the best previous record of 25 1-5 seconds in the 120-yard hurdles, to 24 4-5 seconds.

Resigari of Tufts and Porter of Maine won, respectively, the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash. Considering the handicap placed upon him by s injured knee, Swasey of Dartmouth did his excellent work in both events. Jordan, too, was a point winner m both dashes.

Dartmouth's victories in the halfmile turned the tide. After waiting half a lap, Thrall went to the front, and was never headed. Coming up the stretch, Thrall was leading the field by a wide margin, with Jennings second, Wilson of Technology third, and Shipley of Dartmouth fourth, the men crossing the line in the order named. Wilson, however, complained that Jennings had crowded him towards the outside of the track, and after a long conference the judges disqualified Jennings, Wilson getting second place, and Shipley and Cams of Dartmouth third and fourth places

In the quarter-mile Jennings was again unfortunate, colliding with Gould of Technology while both were trying to get the pole at the first turn. Both men fell, and did not continue.

The hurdle races were productive of the best sport of the day. In the 120 hurdles Hubbard of Amherst and Shaw of Dartmouth quickly drew away from Griswold of Williams and Gray of Dartmouth, the two running side by side until the fifth hurdle was reached, when Hubbard assumed a slight lead and won by a yard. Two heats were run in the 220 hurdles, Griswold of Williams defeating Pond of Trinity, and Hubbard of Amherst winning from Shaw in the recordb reaking time of 24 4-5 seconds.

The final was another battle between the two stars. The field got away evenly with the gun, Shaw and Hubbard running like a team during the early part of. the race. At the seventh hurdle Shaw had a slight lead, which was increased when Hubbard caught his toe in the next hurdle. In the sprint to the tape, however, the superior strength of the Amherst man, a picture of power, came to his rescue, and he won the race by a few inches.

Gage and Blake of Dartmouth did exceptionally well in the hammer throw, the former taking first, and the latter third. Captain Hazeu had no difficulty in winning the pole vault at II feet, but in a trial for the record at ii feet, 8 inches, failed to get over the bar.
