DARTMOUTH PLACES THIRD IN NEW YORK TRACK MEET
April, 1923

Old Gus Gloom and his vis-a-vis old man Jinks pitched their tent next to Dartmouth's track camp and queered the dope at the 1923 Indoor Intercollegiate Track Meet in New York, March 3. Pennsylvania won with 36 points, Cornell came second with 27, and Dartmouth third with 18.

The Green team suffered several setbacks. The two mile relay team, expected by Coach Hillman to gather points, was unable to participate on account of the sudden illness of R. W. Letteney '24, anchor man. The mile relay team had to compete with the Syracuse and Yale teams in the preliminaries, which place first and second in the finals. Had they not been eliminated in the preliminaries, Coach Hillman's four would probably have placed.

In spite of a bad cold Captain L. T. Brown '23 cleared the bar for six feet two and 3-4 inches and thereby won first place in the high jump. K. P. Libbey '25 tied for second place in the pole vault by reaching a height of 12 feet.

M. W. Swenson '23 and L. F. Turnbull '23 won second and fourth places, respectively in the 35 pound weight throwing contest. J. G. Young '23 placed fourth in the two mile run and N. Canfield '25 gained a third in the running broad jump. Swoboda, the second Green entry in this event, was unable to compete on account of sickness.
