Dartmouth entries scored two firsts and two third places in the Knights of Columbus Indoor Track Meet in Boston, March 4. The relay team lost to Harvard after a hard struggle.

Starting from scratch Earl Thomson, famous Dartmouth hurdler, won the 45-yard high hurdle race in 61-5 seconds though he was hard put to it to overhaul Merrick of Boston College, who had a handicap lead of seven feet. The former Green captain also took a third place in the 40-yard dash. Leroy T. Brown, jumping from scratch was not pressed and won his event with a leap of 6 feet 2 inches. In the two-mile run Young finished third. The Dartmouth-Harvard relay was a thrilling event. Five times the lead shifted until Burke, the Crimson anchor man, outdistanced Shem, and won by a good margin in the time of 7 minutes 17 1-5 seconds.
