NEW WORLD'S RECORD HELPS DARTMOUTH TO SECOND PLACE
April, 1922

Captain L. T. Brown's leap of 6 ft. 4 7-8 inches for a new world's record high jump indoors was of material assistance m helping Dartmouth to a second place position in the firs indoor intercollegiate track and field meet of the I. C. A. A. A. A. held in New York, March 11. This was Brown's second record leap in three weeks, the other having been made in Boston when he tied the mark of 6 ft. 4¾ inset but a week previously by Murphy of Notre Dame.

Cornell's strength on the track, particularly in the middle distances, gave Ithaca the championship with a mark of 35½ points. The Green team amassed 25½ points, while Pennsylvania gathered 24 for a close third and Princeton landed in fourth position with 16.

A first place in the pole vault by Libbey, a five-man tie in which Smith figured m the same event a fourth in the 35-1b: weight item, a third and fourth in the 16-1b. shot put, and fifth places in the broad jump and the two-mile run accounted for Dartmouth's points. In the freshman relay race the Hanover quartet ran second to the fast Pennsylvania team.

Freshmen 54—Huntington 36

In the dual meet with Huntington School of Boston in Alumni Gymnasium, March 11, the Freshman track team won handily by a score of 54 to 36, capturing six first places and a majority of the second and third places. The Green youngsters might have scored more points had they not been deprived of the services of the four men who were running in the freshman relay at the first indoor meet of the I. C. A. A. A. A. in New York.

The closest race of the afternoon was the 440-yard dash in which Bates of Dartmouth broke the tape barely a foot in front of McFarland of Huntington.
