ATHLETIC SUMMARY

For the sake of convenient reference a summary of the results in the major athletic sports of the past year is here appended, with very brief comment.

FOOTBALL

The football season was in no way so satisfactory as that of the previous year. Although the team scored heavily against its minor opponents, it failed disastrously in the Princeton game. Improvement was shown in the Harvard game, but not sufficient to carry victory with it. The season's scores are as follows:

Dartmouth 26 — Bates 0.

Dartmouth 41—Norwich 9.

Dartmouth 55—Vermont 0.

Dartmouth 21—Williams 0.

Dartmouth 7—Princeton 22.

Dartmouth 6—Amherst 0.

Dartmouth 24—Cornell 0.

Dartmouth 0—Harvard 3.

BASEBALL

The results of the baseball season are more pleasing to contemplate, but occasional lapses into bad form were evident and several games unfortunately had to be cancelled because of rain. Scores:

Dartmouth —Seton Hall.*

Dartmouth —Princeton.*

Dartmouth 6—Univ. of Penn 2.

Dartmouth -Fordham.*

Dartmouth 5—West Point 9.

Dartmouth 11—Colby 1.

Dartmouth 5—Colby 2.

TRACK

Dartmouth's track record for the year is excellent, showing highly creditable work in both indoor and outdoor competitions: On November 16, the crosscountry team won the New England Championship at Brookline, and one week later at'lthaca took third place in the intercollegiate cross-country run, defeating all her competitors save Harvard and Cornell.

The two-mile relay team carried off the honors of the winter in track events. Victories over Cornell and Harvard at New York, and over Princeton at Hartford gave the team the intercollegiate championship. At the B. A. A. meet, the two-mile team finished but five yards behind the winning B. A. A. team in a race which clipped twelve seconds from the world's record of seven minutes, eleven and two-fifths seconds. At the same meet the quarter and half-mile teams both won from M. I. T.

The results of the spring contests were equally satisfactory. Dartmouth easily won the dual meet with, the University of Pennsylvania. At the Pennsylvania Carnival, the relay team took second place with Michigan in the lead; points were also scored in the mile race, the discus and the hammer throw. At the New England Intercollegiate Meet on May 24, Dartmouth won a remark- able victory, scoring 62 points; Brown, who took second place, scored but 16 points. At the big intercollegiates, held in Cambridge on May 31, Dartmouth won fifth place, being defeated by Pennsylvania, Harvard, Michigan, and Cornell, but winning from Yale, California, Wesleyan, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Pennsylvania State, and Syracuse.

BASKETBALL

Dartmouth did not reach the standard in basketball set by the team of the previous year. In the final standing of the Intercollegiate League, Cornell had first place, Princeton second, while Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, and Columbia were tied for the last place. The recorded scores are:
