TRACK TEAM DISAPPOINTING IN TRIANGULAR MEET
April, 1922

The Dartmouth track team was thought to have an even chance to carry off the honors in the Harvard-Dartmouth-Cornell indoor meet at Boston, Feb. 25, but failed to live up to expectations, Cornell winning with 48½ points, with Harvard second at 38½ points and Dartmouth trailing at 29.

Dartmouth, however, emerged with honors when Captain Leroy T. Brown leaped 6 feet, 4¾ inches in his event to tie the new world's record made only the week before by Murphy of Notre Dame. The Green team was credited with three other winners, Lee taking first place in the 16 lb. shot event, Libbey capturing the pole vault with a new record for the triangular meets of 12 feet, 5/8 inches, and Hallett leading the rush for' the tape in the 300 yard run. A second place in the broad jump, a similar score in the shot put and third places in the 600 yard, 1000 yard and two mile runs accounted for the additional Dartmouth points.

In the Freshman relay race the Hanover quartet proved conclusive superiority, adding another record by travelling through the course in 3 minutes 14 3-5 seconds. In the dash Weisiger was an easy winner with Blodgett second and Bates only an inch from third.
