Thomson Leads FieldOver B. A. A. Hurdles

Stepping through the 50-yard high hurdle race in the remarkable time of 6 3-5 seconds, Captain Thomson of the Green track team won handily from the field at the B. A. A. games in Boston Feb. 5, and again triumphed over Frank Loomis of the Chicago A. A. Had there been four flights of hurdles instead of three Thomson would probably have erased the old mark of 6 4-5 seconds, held by Warren Hobbs '19. Thomson's performance was the feature of the meet and as usual the rangy rail rider was the focal point of the audience's attention.

In the high jump Brown of Dartmouth tied with Murphy, of Notre Dame, jumping 6 ft. ½ inch for a total of 6 ft. 3½ inches with, the handicap. First place, however, was awarded to Murphy, who was competing without handicap.

In the varsity one-mile relay race with Pennsylvania, the Penn fliers had little difficulty in establishing a lead for Eby which Thomson was unable to cut down. The two-mile relay also ran ahead of the Green's luck, leaving Coakley 15 yards behind the Syracuse and M. I. T. anchor men.

There was consolation, however, for the Hanoverians when the freshmen nosed out Boston College, M. I T. and Holy Cross after running third throughout the first two laps. On the third lap Foster cut the distance somewhat and in the last round Swoboda streaked ahead for a victorious whirlwind finish.

The tall Californian exhibited again February 8 at Madison Square Garden, New York City, where for the second time in three days he led Frank Loomis over the high barriers. The distance in this event was 70 yards, which "Tommy" sailed through in 9 1-5 seconds without effort. Over the low hurdles at the same distance the Dartmouth captain equaled his own record of 8 1-5 seconds, thus putting the finishing touch to his evening's performance.

The intercollegiate two-mile relay, in which Syracuse, Penn State, Columbia, and Dartmouth were entered, developed some keen competition, but nothing which bore the green tinge which was wanted. Dartmouth finished third in this event, being preceded by Syracuse and Penn State, with Columbia in hailing distance behind.
