THE INDOOR TRACK SEASON

The varsity track team concluded an unusually successful indoor season at the Naval Reserve games in Hartford in February, defeating Brown and M. I. T. in the one and two mile relays respectively. The Green quartets thus established the record of no defeats in the relay season during 1915-16. The one-mile four, composed of Captain Riley, Lagay, Trenholm and Worthington, is one of the speediest short distance combinations ever produced at Dartmouth.

Coach Hillman is at present engaged in training the squad through a series of indoor meets in the Alumni Gymnasium, particularly for the development of new material. The most noteworthy performances in these so far have been record-breaking feats of Worthington in the broad jump, and Riley in the half mile, 440- and 600-yd. runs. Worthington's indoor record is now 22 feet 10 1/8 inches, made March 11. Riley has hung up new records for the indoor track of 1 min., 13 2/5 seconds for the 600, 51 1/5 for the 440, and 1 min. 57 4/5 in the 880. A new fraternity relay mark was set by Delta Kappa Epsilon in the semi-finals, of 1 min. 52 2/5 seconds, with Phelan, Phillips, Worthington, and Lagay running.

The prospects for an unusual track team this year appear to be excellent, although it is difficult to forecast the possibilities while snow prevents outdoor training. The team on paper appears to be strong on the track, with several men shaping up well for the field events.
