March 1919

Participation in two meets, the Millrose A. A. games at New York and the annual B. A. A. meet in Boston, made up Dartmouth's indoor track season for 1919. In both meets the relay teams entered made creditable showings, but no individual entries competing for Dartmouth annexed points in any of the special events.

At the Millrose games February 25 a single mile quartet was entered to run against University of Pennsylvania and M. I. T. The race was close all the way, but the Green "anchor" man lost the lead at the last minute and the event went to Penn. Tech finished third. The Dartmouth team was made up of Murray, Davis, Macomber, and McGoughran, all more or less experienced runners.

The short-distance four went to Boston for the B. A. A. games March I, and ran in two separate races, opposing in turn the Tech and M. A. C. quartets. A slight reversal of form from the showing of the previous week resulted in defeat at the hands of Tech, but in the second race Dartmouth finished far in the lead. Jordan, Murray, Davis, and McGoughran ran in the first race against M. I. T., and the only change in makeup for the second event was the substitution of Goodnow for Jordan. In the first lap of the second race, some question arose as to whether or not Goodnow fouled his opponent. Although the referee ruled in favor of Dartmouth, Coach Hillman later acknowledged the injustice of the decision and sent the winner's cup to the M. A. C. quartet.
