Green Wins Three Events at B.A.A. Meet

Captain Brown's leap of 6 feet 3 7/8 inches for a new college record, Libby's pole vault of 12 feet 4 inches and a victory by the freshman relay team were Dartmouth's contributions to the Boston Athletic Association meet at Boston, February 4. Brown jumped from scratch to a record 1 3/8 inches higher than that which he made at the Intercollegiates last spring. Libbey was accorded a two inch handicap in his event. Other Dartmouth athletes did not fare so well. R. M. Harris finished third in the 45 yard hurdle race, W. L. Caldwell took a third place in his heat of the handicap 600 yard run, and S. S. Sollitt, though winning one heat and placing in the semi-finals of the hurdle event, was disqualified for knocking over a barrier in the final. Pennsylvania's relay team, led by the redoubtable Larry Brown, nosed the Green varsity runners out of a close race, in which until the last lap the Hanover sprinters were holding a lead of five yards. The Dartmouth two mile relay team defeated M. I. T., but trailed the Syracuse runners by a wide margin.
