The track squad has been holding practice on the campus daily since the middle of March. Material has developed remarkably well under Coach Hillman and prospects for the season are promising.
An interclass meet was held April 23, which the Seniors won. Three college records were broken. Captain Palmer set a new record of 6 ft. 1 inch in the high jump, Holdman placed the pole vault record at 11 ft. 9 inches, Tilley threw the hammer five feet farther than Gage's record of '06, throwing the weight 144 ft. 6½ inches. Marden '12 and Marden '11 equaled the distance which the weight was thrown in last year's New England Intercollegiate meet, a distance of 129 ft. Noyes misled the record in the mile by threefifths of a second, going the distance in 4 min. 33 2-5 seconds.
The score of the classes was as follows: 1910, 44 points; 1911, 38 points; 1913, 33 points; 1912, 11 points.
