DARTMOUTH WINS MEET
BoWdoin Loses New England
Games by Narrow Margin.
NEW POLE VAULT RECORD
Two thirds of a Point Gives
Green Victory-Colbath
Star Performer.

Boston May 2f-By a fraction of one
point Dartmouth defeated Bowdoin and
won the twenty fourth New England ath-
letic championship here this afternoon. /:
was hard on Bowdoin to come so near vic
tory only 10 lose the coveted honor. Es-
ypecially was II hard, for the latter team,
after qualifying yesterday only eight men
to Dartmouth's seventeen, made one of the
gamest fights against odds ever seen in a
New England championship meet.
1t would be difficult to show just where
Dartmouth won and Bowdoin lost. The
real reason, though. probably is that the
Green had a better balanced team, while
the Maine college was represented by g
small set of stars"
Dartmouth scored 26& points; Bowdor,
% lip. Wesleyan was good third, with %,
and then came Williams with II, the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology with 12.
the University of Maine and the University
of Vermont with Z each; Worcester Poly
technic with 8, Brown. with AZ !; Tufts. J :;
Trinity, 2; Colby. Il. Holy Cross failed
to score.
Had the weather been good several new
records would undoubtedly have been es-
tablished. AS it was, one record was brok-
en-. Holdman, of Dartmouth, came up TO
SIS inches for the pole vault, breaking the
old record of II feet 61a inches made by
Hurlburt, of Wesleyan five years ago. The
weather was vile. a northeast drizzle play
ing over the field all during the games.
Bowdoin won four f1rsts 10 Dartmouth's
three. The Maine boys took the 220-yard
hurdles. the hammer throw, the mile and
the two-mile races Dartmouth won the
nnIo baIf ffo nd he Shn NUT
Williams did well, and early in the meet
was distinctly winning possibility. The
showing of the Brown men was a disap-
pointment, but by no means an entirely
unexpected one.
Colbath of Bowdoin, gave a wonderful
exhibition OF endurance by taking both the
mile and two-Irlile runs in fast time, his
sprint in the last quarter OF the latter
event being the feature of the day. Ed
wards, Of Bowdoin, won the low hurdles,
and Warren and Crosby took first and
second in the hammer.
But Dartmouth was always peggiHg
along. 1t was we'll along in the afternoon
before the Dartmouth men became a factor
In the scoring, and while only three first
prizes fell to their lot a point or two here
and fraction of a point there told the
story. Baxters victory In the half-mile
contributed much to the final result, as 1t
was somewhat unexpected.
Dartmouth has now six legs on the new
nfteen-year cup to three for Amherst.
