TRACK ATHLETICS
THIRD CONSECUTIVE VICTORY
Dartmouth's track and field representatives for the third consecutive season won the New England track and field championships, in which eleven representative colleges took part, at Technology Field, Brookline, May 23. Dartmouth's total was 49 points—one of the greatest on record in the association. Bowdoin, the Maine intercollegiate champion, was second with 19 points. Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Wesleyan were bracketed for third with 18 points, while Wiliams, Amherst, Brown, Maine, Trinity, Tufts, and Vermont followed in that order.
The conditions could not be considered good, the air being still and heavy, but nevertheless two records were broken,, one was equalled, and there was another brilliant performance by Captain Shaw of Dartmouth, the greatest hurdler in the college world today. The new marks were made in the field events, Palmer of Dartmouth and Horrax of Williams sharing the honor of establishing the new figures in the high jump— 5ft. 11 3-4 in.—an improvement of one quarter inch over the mark set by Horrax at Worcester last year (also a new Dartmouth record).
Pevear, Dartmouth's all-round weight thrower, erased the figures for throwing die discus made by A. K. Dearborn of Wesleyan two years ago from the roll of honor by heaving the missife 123 ft. Sin. (also a new Darmouth record), an improvement of 2 ft. 9 in. over Dearborn's record. Shaw equalled the world's record for the fourth time in the high hurdles, but his misfortune in knocking over a hurdle lost him an opportunity for sharing the 15 1-58 mark with Kreanzlein, the present holder. Over the low barriers, at the longer distance, he equalled the New England Intercollegiate record made by John Hubbard of Amherst two years ago, skipping over the sticks in 24 1.55, (a new Dartmouth record).
There were many individual stars, but Sherman of Dartmouth was the leader of them all, winning both sprints and the running broad jump. In the hundred he ran in 10 1-5 seconds, and one watch caught him in 10 flat; while he ran the 220-event in 22 1-5 seconds. His performance in the running broad jump, made Friday in the trials, stood the test of the finals, and he himself could not better it. His total of points was 15. Pevear scored eleven points, while Shaw was the other best Dartmouth contributor to the large total, by capturing ten points in the two hurdle events.
Next to Sherman, however, the work of Horrax of Williams featured. The Williams captain shared in winning the high jump with Palmer of Dartmouth, won the pole vault, and secured second place in the high hurdle race, scoring in all twelve points of the sixteen made by his college. The summaries :
