Harry Hillman's track team technically opened its 1934 season in the B. A. A. games of February 10, but only a few men were entered in the indoor events and Woodbury's fourth place in the high jump comprised the sum total of Dartmouth's scoring. The Green track and field men made their real bow in the University Club's third annual meet for New England colleges, held in the Boston Garden on February 21.

Dartmouth and Harvard were picked to lead the competition in the class A events, and the Crimson piled up points in the pole vault, hurdles, and mile event to overcome the Green, 26 to 2314. Holy Cross with 18 points finished third.

Bob Quimby of Dartmouth captured the mile run in 4 minutes 29 seconds, but Harvard took three of the remaining four places to capture the points. George Blister, Green sophomore from Ambler, Pa., did 13 feet 3 inches to win the pole vault, and Woodbury gave the Indians another first in the high jump when he set a new record at 6 feet 2 5/8 inches. Embry's fourth in the 45-yard hurdles, Colton's fifth in the 50-yard dash, Brigham's fifth in the 880-yard run, Maxam's tie for second in the pole vault, and Lindstrom's four-way tie for fourth in the high jump also figured in the Green total.

In its special one-mile relay race against Boston College and M. I. T„ the Dartmouth quartet of Clark, Hair, Donovan, and Veazie finished third. B. C.'s winning time was 3 minutes 28 4/5 seconds, and Dartmouth's was 3 1/5 seconds slower.
