Pennsylvania Track TeamWins by Large Score
Dartmouth's 1923 track team, weakened by the loss of many certain point winners, gathered but four first places in a meet with Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, May 5. The loss to the team of Weisiger and Libbey together with a number of lesser known but promising men has been a severe blow to Coach Hillman and to the team under his direction. Nevertheless, the team has done well under the handicaps imposed. The score of 86 to 46 is as large as any charged against the Green in many years but the overwhelming superiority of the Pennsylvanians over Dartmouth is accurately measured by it.
Hamer, Penn's captain-elect of football, was the individual star of the meet, placing first in the hammer throw and the javelin, and second in the shot put. His teammate, Lever, was second high point winner with firsts in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes.
Captain L. T. Brown '23 won the high jump for Dartmouth at the mark of 6 feet 2 inches. C. B. Foster '24 crossed the tape in the quarter mile, covering the distance in 51 3-5 seconds. R. W.
