TRACK

The story of Dartmouth's indoor track season rests predominantly on the burly shoulders of the weight corps. The Indians' record in dual competition is 4-6. The success has been in the weights but the development of the runners has been steady.

The man everyone has been talking about is sophomore Ted Moody, the southpaw shotputter who last year set a freshman record with a distance of better than 47 feet. Under the guidance of Carl Wallin, the former 60-foot shotputter from Northeastern who joined the Dartmouth staff this year, Moody has added 10 feet to his freshman performance. Against Colgate, he set a Dartmouth record of 54 feet 1 inch. Two weeks later, at Yale, he muscled the 16-pound ball 57 feet, 3 inches, and became the leading candidate for the Heptagonal shot title.

In the 35-pound weight throw, it's much the same story. Captain DeWitt Davies missed one meet and his 6-7, 280-pound teammate, George Remmer, became Dartmouth's first 60-footer in this event. Remmer's record didn't last for long as Davies came back against Massachusetts to win with a distance of 61 feet ½ inch.

At this point it looks like Dartmouth will have at least three representatives in the NCAA championships this month at Detroit - Davies, Remmer and Bill Dinneen - in the weight throw while Moody and Remmer look good for the NCAA shotput competition.

Perhaps the greatest improvement of the season in the jumping events has been Jeff Blomstedt's in the pole vault. The senior from Wilmington, Del., has cleared 14 feet, 6 inches and has a good chance of eclipsing Harris Wagensiel's Dartmouth record of 15 feet ½ inch.
