The year's track record is highly satisfactory. In the intercollegiate cross-country run, November 25, Dartmouth made fourth place, after Cornell, Harvard, and Pennsylvania, but defeating Technology, Yale, Syracuse, Brown, Princeton, and Columbia.
At the B. A. A. meet, held February 10 in Boston, Dartmouth's relay team defeated that of Technology, and the Dartmouth representative won first place in the shot put. February 19, at Columbia, Dartmouth won fourth place in the relay race and established a new American record in the shot put. On March 2, Dartmouth again defeated Technology in a relay race at Hartford, and won first place in the pole vault and the high jump. At the Pennsylvania meet, April 27, Dartmouth again made a good showing, winning places in the relay race, the pole vault, high jump, Shot put, hammer throw, and discus throw.
The Harvard dual meet, won unexpectedly by Dartmouth last year, proved a close contest this season. Harvard finally won by 66½ to 50½ ponts, a score eminently satisfactory. In the New England Intercollegiate meet Dartmouth was an easy winner with 46 points to her credit, Brown, the nearest rival, totalling only 23.
In the big intercollegiate meet at Philadelphia, June 1, Dartmouth held her place among the best in the country, as the following list makes evident:
Pennsylvania 28 Cornell 17½ Michigan 15 Harvard 13 Columbia 13 Syracuse 12 Dartmouth 11½ Yale 10 Wesley an 7 Brown 6 Princeton 5 Rutgers 2 Bowdoin 2 Massachusetts Technology 1
Dartmouth sent three men with the Olympic team to Stockholm: Wright, in the pole vault; Enright, in the high jump; and Whitney (supplementary list) in the shot and discus. It was at the Olympic tryouts in Cambridge that Wright broke the record in the pole vault by clearing the bar at 13 feet, 2% inches.
