COLUMBIA ADDS TO
LAURELS ON TRACK
Defeats Colgate in Dual
Meet, Marked by Close
Finishes.

Columbia made a clean sweep of its
dual track meets by defeating Colgate on
South Field yesterday, following victories
over the Navy and Syracuse. Although
the Blue and White won by margin OF
Il points. the final score being % % TO
5113. the met was close from start to
finish and Colgate threatened to triumph
more than once.
Colgate captured seven first places to
Columbias six, and only for weakness in
the field events probably would have de-
feated the Morningside Heights team.
Colunbia's only victories i'm the track
events were In the 1O0-yard dash and the
l4o-vard run. In the field events the Blue
and White, however, scored heavily IN
every contest except the pole vault in
which all three places were taken by
Colgate.
II. c. Bertsrom. of Colgate, and H.
Smith, a Columbia freshman, furnished
the best race of the day in the two-mile
run. Bertsrom cut out the pace from
the first hundred yards. and all through
the first mile carried the field along at
a good clip. At the mile and a half mark
Smith challenged and went into the lead.
From then until the finish it was ham,
mer and tongs. with Smith leading by
half a dozen yards until the last furlong
when Bertsrom gradually began to over
take him, to nose him out at the finish
by scant yard. Bertsrom was so COM
pletely tuckered out that he had to be
assisted from the field. The time was
minutes 50 3-5 seconds.
L. T. Pickard. of Colgate. upset Column
bias calculations by winning both the
high and low hurdles. Pickard romped
in over the high hurdles in 10 % seconds
and defeated Graham and Macdonald in
the low hurdles in q l-5 seconds. Black.
of Columbia, won the 100-yard dash, but
was beaten in the furlong sprint by
Adams, of Colgate, who got the jump at
the start and never relnquished II, de-
spite a desperate challenge by Black IN
the last twenty-five yards.
