Track Team Defeats Harvard

Due to the work of Coach Harry Hillman, to the advantages offered by the new gymnasium, and to the conscientious training of members of the squad, the Dartmouth track team astounded the Eastern college athletic world by defeating Harvard in the annual dual meet on May 6by the .score of 60 to 57. The result of the contest was a complete surprise to all, Coach Hillman himself forecasting a Crimson victory by a margin of forty points. Dartmouth was looked upon as strong in the field events and weak on the track, and it was the work of the latter class performers and the disappointing showing of the Harvard runners that turned the tide.

The two mile run was the only event in which the Green failed to score. In the hundred-yard dash the best Dartmouth followers hoped for was second, but Russell and Wilkins upset all "dope" by taking first and second respectively. In the 220-yard dash Harvard was given first and third, but again Russell and Wilkins sprung a surprise by taking first and third.

Smith, described as a "dark horse" was the first to upset the Crimson calculations; taking first in the low hurdles, and second in the high hurdle event.

Enright deserves the honor, if it could be given but one man, of winning the meet. With the score tied after the eleventh event and with but one more chance to jump, in the last event, the broad jump, he cleared twenty feet, six and eight-tenths inches, winning from Lewis of Harvard by two inches.

The victory was celebrated in Hanover by the usual bonfire, speeches, snakedance, and procession.
