TRACK

Indoor track is drawing to a close. Weekly meets are being held in the gymnasium as preparation for the outdoor meets to follow in the spring. Already several college records have been broken in these meets. M. Wright '13 cleared the bar in the pole vault at twelve feet one inch, thus beating the college record by an inch. L. A. Whitney '15 hurled the 12-pound shot 49 feet inches, thus setting a new mark for Dartmouth. He also lowered his own record of 45 feet 5¼ inches made at the B. A. A. meet to 45 feet 7 inches. Marceau hung up a new indoor college record for the half-mile, making the distance in two minutes and three seconds. In the meets to follow it is expected that other records will go by the boards. Dartmouth finished up her indoor board track season by two meets, held on February 22 and March 1. On the former date the Dartmouth mile relay team was defeated by Cornell in Troy, N. Y., in the fast time of 3 minutes, 27 1-5 seconds. At the same meet Olsen '14 won the 40-yard dash in 4 3-5 seconds. On March 1, the season was brought to a fitting close by the meet at Hartford. In this, Dartmouth's two-mile relay team defeated Tech in a very exciting race, great credit being due to Franz Marceau. Also Wright '11 ran a dead heat in the hurdles and took first place in the pole vault, while Mason won the high jump.
