Triangular Meet

Harvard trackmen rolled up a total of 44 1/3 points against Cornell's 39 1/3 and Dartmouth's 32 1/3 to win the 10th annual triangular meet at the Boston Arena February 25.

One intercollegiate mark was bettered and five t riangular records broken or tied as a result of the day's performances. Wright of Cornell, intercollegiate champion in the 35-pound weight, added over a foot to the old record with a heave of S3 feet 33/4 inches. Glendinning, star Dartmouth sprinter, who also won the 40-yard dash, ran the 300-yard dash in 34 2-5 seconds, to smash the record made by Allen of Harvard in 1925. Alcorn forced Caruthers to equal the mark of 6 seconds set first by Earl Thompson in the 45-yard high hurdles and Swope just nosed out Peet of Harvard with a last-lap burst of speed that made another new mark.

Cornell weight-throwers took a total of 17 points in two events in the afternoon and entered the evening's with a commanding lead. McAvoy, the only Harvard or Dartmouth entrant to place, took third in the shot-put. Bad conditions cut down on the broadjumping and French won with 22 feet 1¼ inches. Hetfield and McQuiston had trouble hitting the mark, but Noeltner added a point to Dartmouth's total.

In the 45-yard dash, Glendinning and Cooley qualified for the finals against French and Burns of Harvard. Glendinning was off fast and won in 4 4-5 seconds. French and Burns just nosed out Cooley. The 45-yard hurdles found Dartmouth without the services of Wells, captain and joint holder of the world's record, but Al Alcorn, competing in his first highhurdle race, was just nosed out by Caruthers. Burbank of Harvard was tied by Williams of Cornell in the pole-vault at 12 feet 7 inches, three-quarters of an inch from the record.

The 300-yard dash was a thrilling performance. Glendinning lost the pole to Mason in the jostling at the corner and sprinted to regain the lead, but was forced off the track on the inside. He recovered, however, and went ahead to win. Maynard had little trouble taking the high-jump with a leap of 6 feet ¼ inch, and Pierce tied for second. The 600-yard run found Swope setting a .new mark. He trailed Peet until the final stretch and nipped him at the tape by a scant foot. Swope ran a beautifully-timed race in 1 minute 16 3-5 seconds.

Latham led the 1000 up to the final corner, but lost his stride in the scramble for position with Captain O'Neil of Harvard and was passed. Porter of Harvard took second, closely pressed by Keith. The time was 2 minutes 23 4-5 seconds.

The relay was the greatest race of the whole meet. Wright lost 15 yards to Hennessy of Harvard and Foster was unable to cut down the lead. Glendinning, running his third race of the evening, closed in on the final lap and handed over a five-yard deficit to Swope, running anchor on the Green team. The Dartmouth star gradually cut down the lead on Peet and finally caught him in the last few yards.

I. C. 4—A Meet

The Dartmouth track squad failed to place among the leaders of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America meet held March 3 in New York.

Lloyd Hahn of Boston again came to the front with a record breaking score of 1 minute 51 2-5 seconds in the half mile run.

Although gaining but a low place in the meet, some of the Green track men did good work. The relay team took second place, barely 10 yards behind New York University. Glendenning secured second place in the second heat of the 70 yard dash, but failed to place in the finals. The event was won by Daley of Holy Cross with a time of 7 3-10 seconds.
