Track

Dartmouth's varsity track team, coached by Ellie Noyes and Ed Joyner, has wound up another fairly successful season, winning two dual meets and losing two and finishing 6th in the annual Heptagonal competition.

The Big Green runners lost the opener to Harvard as expected, 93½ to 43½, then rolled over Boston University 81-58 and over Columbia 103 to 35, before losing to Manhattan, winner of the New York Metropolitan Championships, 81,2/3 to 58,1/3

Captain Doug Brew, certainly one of Dartmouth's foremost track men for some years, finished his home season in brilliant fashion against Manhattan by winning both the mile and half-mile runs. Brew had a relatively easy time in the mile, but Manhattan's Bob Murphy pushed him all the way in the 880-yard run and Brew came across just one foot ahead with a clocking of 1:52.3. Hugo Hartenstein was another double winner for the Indians, capturing the 100 and 220-yard dashes, while Bob Rapp took the broad jump, Phil Drescher and Jack Stromberg tied for first in the high jump, and John Springer won the pole vault.

In the recent Heptagonal meet at Yale, the Big Green finished sixth with 14.4 points. Yale won the team title, followed by Harvard, Cornell, Penn, and Navy. Princeton, Army, Brown and Columbia trailed Dartmouth. Captain Doug Brew successfully defended his 880 title by edging out John Slowick of Yale. Slowick pulled ahead in the stretch drive but Brew caught him at the tape, finishing inches ahead with a time of 1:53.7. Ace Dartmouth sprinter Hugo Hartenstein took fourth in the 100-yard dash and finished first in the 220-yard dash trials, but was unable to compete in the finals because of a pulled muscle. Jim Mueller took a fourth in the 440, Will Springer tied for third in the pole valut, and George Bixby added a fourth place in the discus throw for other Dartmouth points.
