PENNSYLVANIA WINS BY TWO THIRDS OF A POINT

Handicapped by weakness on the track, the Green team fell two-thirds of a point short of victory in the triangular meet with Columbia and Pennsylvania May 7 at New York. The final score was Penn 51, Dartmouth 50 1-3, and Columbia 14 2-3. Captain Earl Thomson of Dartmouth was the feature of the meet, taking first places in the high and low hurdles and the high jump. Dartmouth was supreme also in the field events, winning the broad jump, pole vault, shot put, and hammer throw. On the track the Green's only points not gathered by Thomson were scored by Young and Sherburne, who took second and third places in the two-mile run. Pennsylvania won in each of the cinder path contests with the exception of the mile, which went to Higgins of Columbia.

M. I. T. 59—Dartmouth 58

Winning almost every place in the field events, but outclassed in nearly all contests on the track, the Dartmouth athletes fell one point short of their engineering rivals from M. I. T. in Boston, May 14. Once more Captain Earl Thomson was the giant of the meet, gathering single-handed 13 points by means of victories in both hurdle races and a second place in the high jump.

With the two teams almost eVen in point of scoring, the decision of the meet came to rest at the end of the 220-yard dash, in which Tech's fleet runners, Spitz and Bossert, were entered against Shelburne and Gruenhagen. In the century Spitz had broken the tape with Shelburne edging in for second place just ahead of Bossert; but in the last event Bossert reversed the order, and with Spitz taking another first place, turned the meet over to Tech.

Dartmouth Third Again

For the second successive year the Green track and field team surprised the critics by figuring well up in the point scoring of the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet, and trailed California and Harvard for another third place in the records.

With only four men competing in five events against one of the greatest fields ever assembled for these games, Dartmouth exceeded the hopes of many of our best optimists and finished far better than any outsiders had been forecasting. Thomson's two wins, and Shelburne's victory gave the Green more firsts than any other team.

Dartmouth's first challenge came when Captain Thomson soared over the high hurdles for a victory that enabled him to cast a glance behind him at the rest of the field. Shortly afterwards, John Shelburne rung up the best mark of his career when he put the shot 45 ft. 7½ inches, an eighth of an inch ahead of his nearest rival, Halsey of Princeton. Three more points came to the Hanover team by reason of Brown's leap of 6 feet 2½ inches, which gave him a third in the high jump, Landon of Yale and Muller of California tying for first an inch above Brown. Weld added two points by taking fourth place in the hammer throw, and Thomson's turn came again.

After a semi-final race which came near to wrecking Dartmouth hopes because of an overturned hurdle, the great blonde athlete leaped through the finals of the low hurdle race for another victory.

California's 27½ points won the meet with Harvard one-half point behind. Pennsylvania trailed Dartmouth with 18½ points, Leland Stanford had IS, Cornell and Princeton 13 each, and M. I. T. and Penn. State drew 10 apiece, with Yale grabbing 9½.

Andover 63 3-5—Freshmen 44 2-5

Captain Jenkins of the freshmen did his best to bring victory to the Green yearlings by winning both the 100 and 220-yard dashes in the first freshman meet at Andover, May 14, but the loss of Harris was a sufficient handicap to enable the prep school athletes to win by a comfortable margin. The freshmen took five first places and won all points in the mile run and the shot-put, but were far behind in the half-mile, the high jump, and the pole vault. In the high hurdle race Kimball lost to Avery, the Andover star, by a foot, and in the low hurdles fell when leading at the sixth fence, and barely squeezed into third place.

Exeter 69 4-5—Freshmen 48 1-5

Exeter's star athletes made an excellent showing against the Hanover cubs, May 27, and finished with a 20-point margin of victory. Norton of the prep school team flashed through the tape for a 10-second win in the 100-yard dash, with his team-mate, Lundell, and Coffin of the freshmen close on his heels. In the mile run Wappers of Exeter recorded another first place in 4 minutes 31 1-5 seconds. The quarter-mile was the fea- ture of the meet. Foster, running for the freshmen, passed Noling of Exeter at the first turn and won by two yards. Another Exeter athlete who was in fine fettle was Smart, the hammer thrower, who won from Murphy of Dartmouth. Driscoll and Bench of Exeter also headed Murphy in the shot-put.
