Although Pat Kaney's gym team did not go in for intercollegiate competition this year, its activities were brought into the limelight by the brilliant rope-climb ing of Herman Dock Jr., sophomore from Narragansett, R. I. Dock, who had never tried to climb a rope until last fall, annexed the national A. A. U. championship at Baltimore on May 5, after setting a new New England record of 6.2 seconds for the 25-foot climb in the A. A. U. meet at Roxbury, Mass., two weeks before. By virtue of Dock's championship in the rope-climb, Dartmouth won third team prize in the Baltimore meet.

Daniel M. Schuyler '34, intercollegiate tumbling champion last year, is the present captain of the Green gymnasts. He took second in the senior tumbling event at Roxbury, and earlier in the spring won third in his event in the individual intercollegiate championships at Princeton.

Dartmouth finished second to Springfield, 56 to 81, for the New England team championship at Roxbury. In addition to Dock's first in the rope-climb and Schuyler's second in the tumbling, F. L. Engel '34 won the junior rope-climb and finished second to Dock in the senior event. Carl H. Funke '35 took second in both the senior and junior rings, D. E. Scherman '36 took fourth in the senior side-horse and fifth in the junior side-horse, and R. H. Morton '36 took fifth in the senior tumbling.
