NEW WORLD'S RECORD FOR L. T. BROWN '23

Captain Leroy T. Brown, of the Dartmouth track team leaped to a new world's record for the high jump indoors when with Richmond Landon, former Yale star, he cleared 6 feet 5¼ inches at the Millrose A. A. games in New York City, January 31. Brown won the jump off. Both men made attempts to overleap the outdoor record of 6 feet 7 5/16, Brown failing by only a narrow margin.

In the annual B.A.A. games at Boston, February 3, M. O. Skiles '25, defeated Knorek, of the Illinois A.C., and Davis, of Harvard, in winning the pole vault at 12 feet 9 inches, Hill, Jerman, Walsh, and Letteney, composing the Dartmouth relay team defeated Syracuse and M.I.T. over the two miles distance, the Brown one mile relay team won by two-thirds of an inch from Dartmouth when Elson staged a tremendous burst of speed that just carried him past Foster; the M.I.T. freshmen defeated the Dartmouth freshmen in a one mile relay, and Captain Brown, of Dartmouth, took third place in the high jump. Brown was in poor form owing to a congestion of examinations at the end of the mid period, Murphy, of Notre Dame, capturing the event at 6 feet 4¼ inches.

Dartmouth fared poorly in the K. of C. meet in Boston, February 17, when Brown was again unable to outleap Murphy, of Notre Dame, and went out at six feet. After much spectacular running Dartmouth's two mile relay team lost to Harvard when Burke, anchor man for the Crimson, overhauled Letteney, who .had a 15 yard lead and outstepped the Dartmouth runner by 20 yards in addition. In the 16 lb. shot put event, Rahmanop, of Dartmouth, scored a second place with a heave of 38 feet two inches, Eastman, the Harvard football star, winning with a put of 40 feet and nine inches.
