TRACK

Dartmouth's track team, handicapped during the indoor season ever since the old Alumni Gym board track was taken down during the war, completed its season with a record of one victory and two defeats in dual meets and a seventh place in the Heptagonal games in Boston. The Indian trackmen, under Coach Ellie Noyes whipped Bowdoin, 69 2/3 to 47 1/3 but fell before Cornell, 89-24, and Yale, 70-39. A lack of team depth was apparent in the losses to the powerful Cornell and Eli teams .... two of the East's strongest forces.

Despite the season's record, Dartmouth had some excellent performers. Captain Don Burnham won the weight throw against Yale, while hurdler Bill Spoor set a new Dartmouth record of 7.4 seconds in the 60-yard high hurdles while winning the event against the Elis. The old mark of 7.6 was held by Jack Donovan since 937- Stanton Waterman, Dartmouth's great cross-country runner, captured the two-mile run at the Heptagonal games to give the Green its only first place. His time of 9:26.2 bettered the existing "Hep" record by a mere 19 seconds.... quite a creditable performance. High-jumper Roger Hillas also was a consistent pointgetter. Hillas won his event against Yale and tied for fifth in the Heptagonals. Bill Spoor, in addition to his fine hurdles performance against Yale, finished second in the Heptagonals and captured the broad jump against Yale. Two of the team's best operatives, Bobby Tyler in the dashes and Dave Krivitsky in the 600 yard run, suffered recurrent leg pulls that kept them out of much of the season's competition.
