Captain Libbey, of the Dartmouth team, achieved third place in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 12 feet 6 inches. E. E. "Laddy'' Myers '20, former Dartmouth captain, now competing for the Chicago A. A., set a new world's indoor record of 12 feet 10 inches in winning the event.

Leroy T. Brown '23, another former Dartmouth captain was awarded third place in the high jump event.

The annual Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell triangular track meet took place at Mechanics Hall, Boston, February 16, Cornell taking first place with 49 1-5 points, Harvard second with 37 1-5 points, and Dartmouth a rather poor third with 29 11-15 points. Cornell and Dartmouth have now each won three of the meets in this series. Captain Libbey, of Dartmouth, gave the first punch to the Hanover score when he broke his own triangular meet record with a pole vault of 12 feet 6 13-16 inches. He attempted then to break the world's indoor record and twice cleared the bar at 12 feet 11 3-8 inches, but brushed the bar away while descending. Two other records were added when Eastman, of Harvard,, put the shot 43 feet 5 1/2 inches and passed the mark previously held by Shelburne, of Dartmouth, and when Cutcheon, of Harvard, running the two-mile race in 9 minutes 52 seconds, surpassed the previous mark in that event. Nazro, of Dartmouth, finished second in the two mile. The time of the relay race was also lowered, the Cornell four travelling the mile in 3 minutes 7 4-5 seconds.

The 1000-yard race went to Dartmouth when Letteney won in 2 minutes 25 1-5 seconds, with Crawford, of Dartmouth, beating out Benart, of Cornell, for second place. The remaining Dartmouth points came in scattering fashion.
