Track

With one of his weakest squads in recent years, Coach Ellie Noyes' track team has come up with one win in three dual meets and finished next to last at the Heptagonals in New Haven. Dartmouth bowed to Yale, 103-37, in March; then lost to Harvard by a 104½-35½ count on May 2; and one week later defeated Brown at Memorial Field, 92-48.

In the Heptagonal Meet at Yale, Captain John Huck turned in the best performance for Dartmouth, finishing third in the 880-yard run. Both Paul Raudenbush of Penn who won the event and Army's Ed Dinges, who finished second, broke the old record and Huck's performance was his best to date. In the broad jump, Dick Calkins leaped 22' 7" for a fourth place. However, four of the Big Green's top competitors Mike Morrissey, Walt Clarkson, John Harlor and Dana Low were sidelined with injuries and could not compete.

The Harvard meet was run off in a heavy drizzle and on muddy ground, with the Crimson out to avenge the winter defeat pinned on them by Dartmouth. The only first places won by Dartmouth went to Mike Morrissey in the mile and John Huck in the 880. Bob Jeffrey took a third in the hammer throw and Bob Simpson a second in the javelin, but otherwise the Crimson swept the weight events.

In the meet with Brown, Dartmouth's Tom Kelly won the 880 and took second place in the mile, while Dartmouth halfback Dick Calkins won the 220-yard dash, finished second in the 100-yard dash and took third in the broad jump. Sophomore Bill Slater won the high hurdles to help the Dartmouth victory along.

But beyond the men mentioned above and a few others, the Dartmouth team has lacked depth and has been particularly weak in the field and hurdle events. Coach Noyes has been bringing along some sophomores omores who appear promising, but the Big Green's chances in the IC4A meet in New York the last of May are very slim and the Dartmouth entries for this meet will be extremely limited this year.
