TRACK

The track team got away to a flying start on its indoor season by capturing all three relay races at the B. A. A. meet February 7. In the one-mile event the Dartmouth quartet, made up of Goodnow, Jordan, Prentiss, and Thomson, had an easy time defeating Brown and set up one of the fastest marks of the evening for the distance. Coakley, Crathern, Johnson and McGoughran, comprising the long distance four, led M. I. T. to the tape by half a lap. The Holy Cross freshmen led the Green first-year men through half the race but yielded the lead when Moore took the baton for Dartmouth.

The February performances of Earl Thomson, college record holder in both indoor hurdles events, have probably never been equalled in Dartmouth track history. In the high hurdl'es at the B. A. A. meet he defeated Walker Smith of Cornell in six seconds flat, equalling the world's record for the second time. The following week-end he was entered for the Green in both hurdle events at the Millrose A. A. games in New York. He took the 70 yard high hurdles with ease, but over the low timbers for the same distance he was forced to stretch himself to the limit. His time 8 1-5 seconds sets up a new world's mark for the event.
