Harry Hiilman's boys from Hanover
called. even to place in the first five
track events, but when the sturdy
Thomson began hts afternoon exercises
the stock of Dartmouth began to rise
RAPIDLY. When Earl left the field 1t
was found that he had won each of the
and 220 yard hurdles and the running
high jump,
From this. period on it was a close
struggle between the Red and Blue
ahd the Green, and Hillman's charges
ySrfaTmed in such great style in the
field events that it was officially an
nouneed at the close, of the meet that
Dartmouth had won by two points.
This was corrected latter and the
hunors were conferred upon Penn
syivania.
Easy Victory for Higgins
Second to Thomson for spotlight
laurels was Walter Higgins, the slen-
der captain of the Blue and White
team. who shattered the Columbia
track record in winning the one-mile
run. Higgins led all the way and de-
feated Irwin, Penn, by fifty yards in
4:25, clipping four seconds from the
mark made thirteen years ago by
George Hoynes, Lowenkof, Columbia,
wes third
Much of the interest in this race
was lost when il was found that Larry
Brown, the Penn star, who was
checked in 4:19 2-5 at Philadelphia n
week ago yesterday, would be unable to
start owing to an ailment which de-
y6loped a few hours before the race,
but Higgins acquitted himself in fine
styIe and might have won, even with
Larry in the rnnning.
Harold lever, Bob Maxam, D. w.
Head and Everett Smalley starred for
Pennsylvania, the showing of Barteis,
fdrlner national pentathlon champion,
leins disappointment TO Lawson Rob
prtsdn, the big Penn coach. Lever won
the Century" defeating MaXam, and
finished second in the 220-yard dash,
which Maxam wen., Head led Young,
4 Dartmouth. to the tape in the two
luiie race, and Smailey finished second
both hurdle events.
Thomson Hard Pressed
Thomson was hard pressed in his
oecialty by Smalley, and in the low
,mber topping race the little Penn
vivania man pushed the champion to
ne limit to win by scant few inches.
he time was Is 2-5, which is con-
,idered excellent for slow track.
Thirty minutes later the Dartmouth
.sIron Man" defeated Smalley by less
than a yard in the 120-yard high
hurdles. After short rest the Cana
dian Joined the athletes st the run
ming high Jump. He also was victorious
there, with a leap of feet II inches.
Brown. also of Dartmouth, was second,
with feet 10 inches.
Earl Eby, the national half-mile
champion, appears to have gone stale,
following his recent fine performances,
FOR he was beaten in the quarte"-mile
race by Rogers, teammate, in 80 2-5
seconds. Rogers came from behind on
the last turn into the home stretch
and in close finish beat the cham
pion to the tape by. about yard:
