HIGH JUMP RECORD RECOGNIZED BY COUNCIL

A new high mark was established in track athletics at Dartmouth when the Athletic Council voted to put on record the jump of 6 feet 2 3/8 inches made by L. T. Brown '23 in the running high jump at the Dartmouth-Harvard-Cornell triangular meet held in Boston on February 26. This leap is 5/8 of an inch higher than the former record jump, which stood for nine years. Brown's jump, in addition to establishing a Dartmouth record, is the best that has ever been made at the annual triangular meets.

The first record holder in the running high jump in Dartmouth was J. Smith, who had cleared the bar at 5 feet 9½ inches. R. Palmer pushed this record to 5 feet 11½ inches, and again in 1910 Palmer met Lawrence of Harvard at the Dartmouth-Harvard dual meet and tied with him at 6 feet ½inch, making a new college record. Two years later this record was boosted 1 inch by H. B. Enwright again in the dual meet with Dartmouth. This record has remained until Brown topped it at the triangular meet in February.
