Track Doings

The track team had a great jamboree at the expense of Syracuse, winning the meet by something like 103-21 in round numbers. The Orange runners were outclassed, and the only interesting race of the day was Capt. Jerry Swope of Dartmouth against Capt. St. Clair of Syracuse in the 440. Swope got away to his usual lagging start, and at the turn was ten yards behind, which was quite a distance to be when your opponent is such a well-known runner.

By atypical Swope spurt in the straightaway, Jerry got his man at the tape, but it was one of those finishes which leaves the spectators breathless. It was a very pretty race between these two old rivals.

At this writing, the team is preparing for Harvard, and the meet, as doped out on paper, is in the Crimson's favor by a small margin. Swope, Stevens, Alcorn, Andrews, Lee and Maynard are all favored, and the result will soon be known. Pennsylvania will follow Harvard on the next week-end.

The lesser sports moved along through the month, some with success, some without. The freshman baseball team under the old favorite, Sid Hazelton, moved through Clark School, New Hampshire and Harvard easily, and looks to have the makings of a good nine. The Harvard game was 3-1, and a young pitcher by the name of Schneider beat Devens, who gained quite a reputation as a schoolboy pitcher last year.

The golf team, led by R. F. Barrett, won from Brown but lost to Yale and Williams. Of course the golfers are tremendously handicapped by not having the local course in condition until late in the spring, and also having their entire schedule away from home. The men on the team are as follows: J. I. Stewart, A. G. Rydstrom, J. H. Hubbard, J. G. Cheney, H. W. Ekstrom, A. W. Smith and J. F. Mullan.

The tennis team did not fare so well, and the surprising part of it was that it was heralded as one of the strongest developed here. Of course the local conditions have to be considered, and at this writing the courts are not yet in shape. They lost to Princeton and Columbia, although Capt. Mac Donald gained a good victory over Capt. Bowden, 6-3, 6-2.

The lacrosse team continued on their way, being accustomed to defeats, with the high spot of their season being a 3-3 tie with Harvard. Somebody claimed that a Dartmouth player scored the tying goal for Harvard, but this has been disputed. Defeats were handed out by Penn State, Penn, St. John's and Yale.
