Aside from the games in which various individuals participated, Dartmouth's indoor track season was condensed to eight days, consisting of the Indoor Intercollegiates at New York on March 2 and the annual Triangular Meet with Harvard and Cornell at Boston on March 9. Harry Hillman's charges finished seventh in the Intercollegiates, by virtue of the performances of Tony Geniawicz, Bob Quimby and Dick Brister, and took third in the Triangulars when the final standing gave Harvard 50V3, Cornell 38%, and Dartmouth S6V6.

Tony Geniawicz brought the intercollegiate shot-put title back to Hanover with a toss of 48 feet 9 inches at New York. This bettered by almost a foot the second-place throw of Duke Wood, the Cornell ace. Dartmouth's other points in the Intercollegiates were garnered through Bob Quimby's fourth in the 1500-meter event and Dick Brister's six-way tie for fifth in the pole vault.

Geniawicz set a new Triangular Meet record when he hurled the shot 49 feet 83/s inches against Harvard and Cornell, but this early Green lead was wiped out as the Crimson runners uncorked surprising strength to take the meet. Captain Bob Quimby also lowered a meet record as he raced to victory in the mile event in 4:22. In scoring his unexpected victory over John Scheu, the Crimson star, the Dartmouth captain clipped three-fifths of a second from the mark set by Joe Mangan of Cornell in 1933.

DONOVAN EQUALS 600 MARK

Lane Donovan, of Dartmouth, tied the existing meet record of 1:15.2 in winning the 600-yard event, and was closely followed by Johnny Hoffstetter, Green sophomore who won the Buermyer 500 in the New York A. C. games last month. Second places for Dartmouth were won by Dick Brister in the pole vault and by the mile relay team of Clark, Quimby, Hoffstetter and Donovan. Thirds went to Bob Keller in the 45-yard hurdles, Buster Brown in the goo-yard run, Don Sutherland in the 1000-yard run, Don Hagerman in the shot- put, and Chauncey Colton in the broad jump.

In winning the 4.5-yard hurdles event, Milt Green of Harvard lowered by onefifth of a second the record set by Earl Thompson, Dartmouth's great hurdler, in 1920. Bob Linders of Cornell was the only double winner of the meet, taking the 50 yard and 300-yard events.
