ATHLETICS
July 1918

Dartmouth was brought to the fore at the University of Pennsylvania's 24th annual relay carnival when Myers '20 took first place in the pole vault, and Shea '18, captain of this year's track team, gained second in the pentathlon from a field of 15 starters. Myers did 12 feet. Shea pushed Bartels, the University of Pennsylvania freshman, hard for a victory in the pentathlon, defeating the Penn star in two of the five con2tests.

The . last class meet of the year was held on April 20, the freshman easily winning a majority of the events. The feature of the day was the Tilley Memorial 100-yard race, won by J. C. Davis '19, who also carried off a first in the half-mile.

At the big intercollegiates also Dartmouth finished near the top, being surpassed only by Cornell and the University of Pittsburgh.

The spring baseball season has been a peculiar one, full of many tips and downs. The team started off well and defeated ' Springfield Y. M. C. A. College in two games at Springfield, 4-3 and 5-2. The next day the nine played Yale at New Haven and dropped its first game 0-1. Returning to Hanover, West Virginia took a game by two tallies. Then followed losses to St. Anselm's, Tufts and Brown, with the exceptional victory of 6-1 over Boston College, a strong team, sandwiched in between. In the return Brown game in Hanover Dartmouth easily won, 5-1. Most of the defeats have been due to errors in the infield, and to the lack of aggressive batting. The record for the baseball team follows, together with the other summaries which the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is printing for a continuous record of athletic scores:
