of Andover, holder of the college record.
broke his former record by 2-5 of second.

contests, requiring an enormous amount of
strength and endurance. Through a mis-
understanding in the number of laps run,
Stevens was unable to finish. Witherell
reached the line first with Thomas close be-
hind. The running broad jump created
good deal of interest and was won by ST.
