Tufts Swamped
in Dual Meet
with Univ. of Maine

Orono, May THE University of
Maine buried Tufts College, 1918,
in the dual track and field meet held
on Alumni field Saturday. Tufts
failed to secure first place in any of
the events and Maine succeeded in
taking all three places in the 44O-
yard dash, the pole vault, the low
hurdles, the broad jump and the half
mile run. The nearest Tufts came
to securing a first place was In the
high jump in which McVey of Tufts
and Judkins of Maine were tied for
first place Pratt, Thomas and Pink
ham were the high point men for
Maine, while the only men to place
for Tufts were Capt. Macchia, Pick
ard and Joe Doherty.
The weather was favorable and
the track was in the best of condi-
ton, but no new records were set.
The University of Maine record in
the 100-yard dash was, however. tied
by Pinkham, who won in 10 seconds
fiat Thomas Macchia of Tufts, who
in the 100-yard dash for four years,
secured third place.
The one-mile run was the most
closely contested event of the entire
meet. At the report of the pistol,
Pease of Maine shot cut ahead Of the
rest and set a fast pace which he
kept up for two laps. At the begin
ming of the third lap, kneeland of
Maine took the lead, but was soon
passed by Joe Doherty of Tufts At
the beginning of the fourth lap. Ames
of Maine, who had been trailing the
pack thus far, passed one after an
other of the runners until he reached
the front. He then began to leave
the others behind and broke the tape
several yards ahead of Doherty.
Maine had it very much her own
way in the pole vault, as McVey. the
only Tufts entry, was disqualified
from the beginning, having failed to
clear the bar after three balks.
Raymond of Maine easily won the
two mile run and Barnard easily took
second place in the event. The only
competition in this event was furn-
shed by A. f. Wilson of Maine and
Joe Doherty of Tufts for third place.
The two runners finished almost 81
simultaneously but the keen eyes of
the judges perceived the Tufts man
slightly in the lead.
