TRACK

This is not a Dartmouth year in track, according to the press and armchair experts. But the Green forgot that fact February 15 when Boston University came to Leverone Field House. The Indians grabbed seven first places, scored well in every event, and came out with a 65-33 victory over a highly-rated B.U. squad.

In the most exciting event of the entire indoor season, Harris Wagenseil '67 of Palos Verdes, Calif., a newlynamed Rhodes Scholar, became the first pole vaulter in the Ivy League and in New England to clear 15 feet.

Wagenseil began jumping after all of his opponents had disqualified themselves on misses. He took one leap at 14 feet, another at 14½ feet. Then the bar went feet. Then the bar went to 15 feet.

He jumped once. Missed. Again- a miss. Then a third time down the runway. Pole into the slot, body arched into the air and over the bar. The crowd caught the full impact of the drama, since Wagenseil had almost made the grade earlier in the season at Ithaca.

But meanwhile elsewhere on the indoor turf, the outlook continued gloomy. All the Ivy League teams were defeating Ellie Noyes' squad, and the season very likely would be chalked up as a growth period for the sophomores.
