Track, particularly the indoor variety, has been another big athletic feature this month, and the series of track meets run by Coach Hillman in Alumni Gymnasium has done much to bring out the latent ability of the freshman. Though 1920 put up a strong race, the majority of the meets have gone to 1921, and there has been considerable showing of good material for Coach Hillman's development now that outdoor practice is under way.
In the next to the last meet, held April 13, Myers '20 broke the Dartmouth indoor pole vault record established by Marc S. Wright '13, world's pole vault champion. Myers did 12 feet 63/8 inches, just an eighth of an inch better than the mark established by Wright in 1912. Davis '19 captured the Tilley Memorial 100-yard dash on April 20, doing 10 3-5 seconds from scratch.
The tug-of-war contests were among the special events included in the indoor meets. 1919 took the interclass championship here, while the Bema board defeated the Jack O'Lantern board at the same sport.
The meet of March 23 was given up to the freshmen and to contestants from Colby Academy, The first year team scored first place in every event with the exception of the 60-yard dash and the mile, and experienced little difficulty in overwhelming its opponent 59-22. Frieberg, the mainstay of the Academy team did stellar work, but outside of this feature, the competition was rather slow.
