TRACK TEAM

Dartmouth was represented in the B. A. A. games on February 12 by ten men. The handicaps, however, proved too great for the Dartmouth men, Nat Sherman '10 being the only man to qualify for the Green. In the 40-yard open dash he defeated some of the fastest men in the country. The relay team was defeated by the Tech quartet in fast time.

In the 40-yard handicap, Marks, with a four-foot handicap, won the first heat, was second in the semi-finals, but failed to place in the heat for seconds. Holdman could not place, and Sherman had too great a handicap. In the open event Sherman won straight through, taking the finals in 4 4-5 seconds.

Holdman won his heat in the 40-yard hurdles, but was disqualified. A. B. Shaw 'OB, running under the colors of the Chicago Athletic Club, showed his championship form and only lost his fourth annual win to a 6-foot handicap held by Piatt of Yale.

In the relay race with the fast team from Tech, Dartmouth put up a plucky fight. Sherman jumped to the pole at the start and finished four yards to the good. Smith was slow in starting and was unable to do better than finish five yards behind his man. Baxter ran a strong race and held his own, but Salisbury, the last runner for Tech, could not be overhauled by the Green.

Palmer, with a two-inch handicap in the high jump, reached 5 ft. 10 inches, but was unable to place against those with a larger handicap. Holdman jumped 5 ft. 8 inches, but his four-inch handicap aid not place him.

On February 8 the relay team won an easy victory over Hamilton in the meet Held in the state armory at Albany, under the auspices of the Tenth Regiment. The Dartmouth team, composed of Hoffman, Noyes, Francis, Holmes, and Miller, won by nearly a hundred yards. Each man received a gold medal and the team received a silver cup for the event.

The freshman squad has been strengthened by Tilly of Illinois, and by Joyce, who has entered from the University of Maine. Both men will be valuable additions to the squad next year.
