DARTMOUTH TRACK MEN WIN TRIANGULAR MEET
April, 1923

Overwhelmingly strong in the field events and not inferior in the runs Dartmouth scored 50 points to Cornell's 38 and Harvard's 28 in the annual triangular meet in Mechanics Hall, Boston on February 24.

Two records went by the boards when the Dartmouth varsity mile relay team traveled the distance in three minutes and nine and 1-5 seconds, and the Harvard freshman mile relay team showed their heels to the Creen freshmen with three minutes and 10 seconds.

K. P. Libbey '25 broke his own record in the pole vault with a height of 12 feet 5 and 3-8 inches. M. B. Skiles '25 tied Gouinlock of Cornell for .second place in this event. Captain Brown '23 easily attained the greatest height in the high jump with a leap of six feet two and 7-8 inches.

H. C. Swoboda '24 placed second in the broad jump, while M. W. Swenson '23 gained a second in the 35 pound shot put, thus making Dartmouth's score 18 out of a possible 27 in the field events.

With terrific spurts at the finish E. B. Blake '25 and H. N. Bates '25 passed Murphy of Harvard, who had been favored to win the 300 yard run, and captured first and second places in this event for the Green. P. E. Walsh '24 made a gallant fight in the 600 but had to yield to Burke of Harvard and Crozier of Cornell. R. W. Letteny '24 also had to bow to Burke and to Kirby of Cornell in the 1000 yard run.

R. M. LTdahll '23 helped to put some thrills in the mile run by engaging in a neck to neck finish for second place with Bullen of Cornell. The latter finally won, however. Had J. G. Young '23 started to cut down Bonsall's 30 yard lead ten seconds sooner he probably would have succeeded in snatching first place from his rival, but as it was he had to accept second. S. S. Sollitt '23 and N. D. Bugbee '25, pupils of the great Tommy, sprung the biggest. surprise of the whole meet when they won first and second places respectively in the 45 yard hurdles.

In the freshman 40 yard dash M. H. Colladay of Dartmouth broke the tape ahead of Chase of Harvard and R. B. Edgar added third place to the Green honors in this event.
