By all odds the most successful of the spring teams was Ellie Noyes' sparkling aggregation, which contributed their best performance of the year by coming in a strong third in the outdoor IC4A meet held at Annapolis the weekend of the railroad strike (remember?). After riding some 15 hours in automobiles to get there, the Dartmouth athletes finished ahead of any other civilian institution in this classic and behind the service powerhouses of Navy and Army in that order. Michigan State and New York University, both consistently strong contenders, finished behind the Green in a meet which saw many of the contenders reach Annapolis by every known means of locomotion except the railroads.
The Dartmouth total of 24 1/7 points was accumulated largely through the heavy scoring of the Green timber-toppers, with Joe Conley winning the high hurdles and Alan Snyder coming in fifth in that race, while the latter snapped to a win in the low hurdles, with big Bill Kimball a strong third. Other Dartmouth tallies were produced by John Hanley with a fourth in the two mile, Ken Coyne with a sixth in the half, Sam Felton with seconds in both the hammer and the discus, and Joe Conley's tie for fifth in the high jump. The third place in this outdoor classic represents the highest the Green has finished for a good many years, just how many your correspondent is not at the moment prepared to say. But for Ellie Noyes' first year, this was a very nice present indeed.
THE SQUAD PICTURE of this spring's lacrosse team, which, although hampered by the inexperience of its operatives, managed to compile a creditable season's record.
