TRACK ATHLETICS
VICTORY AT WORCESTER
Dartmouth again won the New England intercollegiate track meet at Worcester, May 24 and 25, by scoring the surprisingly large total of 47 points. Brown was second with only 28 1-2 points, while Amherst, who had been considered Dartmouth's strongest opponent, was third with 27 points.
The meet will long be remembered as one of the best in the history of the association. The weather conditions were perfect, and several records were broken. In the preliminary events Friday, Shaw established a record of 15 seconds in the high hurdles, and his mark would stand as a world's record had he not knocked down a hurdle. Shaw's "performance was two-fifths of a second faster than that of Dartmouth's former champion, Stephen Chase '96.
With Shaw starting the pace for record breaking, Horrax of Williams established a mark of five feet 11 1-2 inches in the running high jump, erasing from the roll of honor the record of 5 feet 10 1-4 inches made by R. D. Farrington of Technology last year at Brookline.
Gram, Technology's fast sprinter, also established a record for the 220-yard dash, when he ran his semi-final heat in 22 seconds, a remarkable performance when it is considered that he ran around a turn. The former mark was 22 1-5 seconds, held jointly by H. H. Cloudman of Bowdoin, made in 1900, and by G. D. Swasey of Dartmouth, made two years ago.
The most startling record-breaking feat, however, was that contributed by Udale, the Technology two-miler, who ran the distance in 9 minutes 52 4-5 seconds, the fastest time of the year made by a collegian for the distance. The former mark was held by O. N. Bean of Brown, with 10 minutes 3 3-5 seconds.
Blake's performance of 112 ft. 2 in. in the discus is a new Dartmouth record.

HARVARD MEET
The second athletic meet between Harvard and Dartmouth, held in Cambridge May 4, resulted in victory for the Crimson by the score of 83 to 34. While Dartmouth was clearly outclassed and showed comparative lack of preliminary practice in many of the events, the team made a much better showing than last year (when the score was 101 to 16), and succeeded in winning.seconds in at least some of the events that Harvard had counted upon.
A cold, drizzling rain made recordbreaking performances impossible, but there were several brilliant finishes, one of them being Shaw's performance in the high hurdles, which he took in 15 3-5 seconds, a wonderful mark for the track. Harvard won all the points in the distance runs and most of the points in the other runs and the dashes, Dodge being a star in the sprints. The pole vault was Dartmouth's strongest event, Bredemus winning and Blythe tying with Grant of Harvard for second place. Stephenson of Harvard won the broad jump and the shot put.

DARTMOUTH 82—AMHERST 44
Dartmouth defeated Amherst in their dual meet on the Alumni Oval May 11 by the decisive score of 82 to 44. Dartmouth's superiority in the distance and field events early put the Green in front. Nine firsts went to the New Hampshire athletes. For Amherst Captain Hubbard was the power, the visiting leader defeating his rival Shaw in both hurdles, winning the 220 dash and securing second in the discus.
The races of the day were the duels between Hubbard and Shaw in the hurdles. On the high sticks Shaw tripped on the first hurdle and lost his stride, the two men racing side by side, until the eighth hurdle, when Hubbard gained a slight lead and won by three yards.-
The low hurdles was another pretty race, the great strength of the Amherst man enabling him to go ahead at the middle of the race and win the event by five yards. Hubbard also won the longer dash and Read, his team-mate, the 100 yards.
Dartmouth's relay 'men had things all their own way in the distance races, securing 32 of the 36 points in the four events.
