DARTMOUTH IN THE OLYMPICS

Dartmouth has been well represented in the last five Olympic competitions starting in 1908 with N. A. Sherman '10 who competed in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. A. A. Shaw 'OB, who formerly held the world's record for the 120 high-hurdle event, placed third in the 110 meter hurdle race at London, just losing out to Garrels, the famous western athlete and Forest Smith son, who established a new record for the event in winning.

In 1912 at Stockholm, L. A. Whitney 15 placed third in the shot put, competing against that famous pair of weight men—Ralph Rose and Babe McDonald. Marc Wright '13 tied for second place in the pole vault, and in the final try-outs for the team Wright won the vault with a leap of 13 ft. 2 1/4 inches, a new world's record which stood for ten years. H. B. Enright '13 competed in the high iump at Stockholm.

In 1920 at Antwerp, Earl J. Thomson '20 won the 110 meter high-hurdle championship, establishing a new world's record for the event, his time being 14 4/5 seconds, which remained on the books until last summer when Atkinson of South Africa did 14 3/5 seconds. E. E. Myers '20 tied for second place in the pole vault. George P. Geran 'lB and Leon P. Tuck '15 both played on the United States hockey team that was just nosed out by the Canadian team for the championship.

In 1924 E. E. Myers '21 again represented the country in the games at Paris competing in the pole vault. Leroy T. Brown '23 placed second to Harold Osborne, the world's record holder for the high jump; Brown, although bothered with an injured leg, forced Osborne to establish a new Olympic record. John Carleton '22 represented the country in the winter sports competition, making the trip from Oxford where he was then a student.

In 1928 Charles Proctor '28 was the only Dartmouth man to make the trip and competed in several ski events. With a little luck several Dartmouth athletes were capable of making the team, as in Wells, Swope, Maynard, Glendinning and Bryant the swimmer, all had sufficient ability, but just did not get on the team.

All in all thirteen Dartmouth athletes have been selected as representatives of the United States and have competed in the Olympic games.
