THOMSON SOARS AHEAD AS COLLEGE TERM CLOSES

Earl J. Thomson, captain and star performer of the 1921 track team, and world's champion hurdler, will be unable to compete for Dartmouth next year, but his performances at the close of the present season will be remembered no less because of that fact.

On May 22 in a meet between the varsity and the freshman teams on Alumni Oval, Thomson stepped over the high hurdles in 15 seconds flat, breaking the Oval record for the event. Considering the condition of the track on the Oval this record represents spectacular running which would probably have set an even lower mark on a good path.

Again, _ representing the College at the first meet of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in Chicago, June 18, the Green star equalled his own world's record of 14 2-5 seconds, and but for a poor start and a slip at the fourth barrier would have surpassed that.

At Los Angeles, July 4, Thomson represented the Boston Athletic Association and carried off the honors in both hurdle events, his time in the high hurdle race being again 15 seconds.
