Track

Harry Hillman sent his track team to Syracuse during the early part of the month, and they handily annexed a 73 1-3 to 58 2-3 victory. There were no really outstanding performances, and favorites came through in their respective events. George Stevens took both dashes, Roger Donner jumped over 24 feet to win, and Red Alcorn took both hurdle races.

The meet was in general preparation for the annual dual affair with Harvard, which took place in Hanover this year. Due to the good showing of the men at Syracuse, perhaps the Big Green was overrated, for no one had figured that they would go down by a 44 point margin, which they did.

As I understand it, Dartmouth's errors in the Harvard meet were few, and the well- balanced Crimson outfit simply had things their own way. Harold Moody disappointed in the high jump, and Red Alcorn likewise lost a stride in the high hurdles with a result that he only placed third.

The features of the meet were two record breaking performances. Vic King of Dartmouth setting up a meet mark in the hammer throw with a heave of 157 feet 8 inches, beating Paul Vonckx of Harvard by a scant foot. Oscar Sutermeister of Harvard cleared 13 feet in the pole vault, signalizing his return to active competition, for he had been injured previously.

The final score of the meet was Harvard 89 2-3 to Dartmouth's 45 1-3, the Green getting some solace out of Donner's win in the broad jump and the fact that Robert E. Lee, Jr., threw the javelin 179 feet 2 inches for an easy first place.

On the same day a really marvelous freshman team was taking a dual meet away from Andover, and Harvey Cohn appears to have the strongest team under his direction since he came to Hanover. The feature of that meet was a leap of 6 feet 2M inches by Calvin Milans in the high jump, and the little Green captain seems to be one of the best high jumpers to matriculate here since Tommy Maynard came up to the varsity.
