Harvard Unexpectedly Strong
Harvard adherents found satsfac-
ton in the unexpected strength and
showing of their team which under
the coaching of Bill Bingham, for
| mcr Crimson athletic star, deyeloped
surprising scoring power and upset
the expectations of several of the
other contcsting teams. 1t was the
first year since 1909. when Harvard
won, that Il team other than Cornell
or Pennsylvania had gained team
hOnors.
The surprises did not end with the
t showing of Harvard. Dartmouth fin
lshed third with 20 points. one and a
hait points ahead of PENNSYLVANIA,
the 1920 champion. Leland Stanford.
Jr., with a team of but four athletes
bettered its standing of last year and
finished fifth with 70 points 1t was
the scoring of the second California
contingent that gave the victors a
chance for first place. Cornell and
Princeton tied for sixth place with
- points each and Massa chusetts In
stitute of Technology and Pennsyl-
wanna State also were tide at 10
points. Yale, with 9 IL points led
Lafayette by a half a point. Svra-
! cuse came next with eight; George
town collected five points, and others
to score were: Rutgers, 4; Holy
Cross, 3; Columbia, 1 1-2; and Bow
doin, /.
Congratulate Coach
After the meet California's many
supporters swarmed from the stand
to the field and from field to dress
ing room to congratulate Coach
Walker Christie on his boys victory
The coach grinned as he shook
hands all around
of course I'm glad we Won" he
said. But it was somewhat of a
pleasant surprise at that for from
where I sat / couldn't follow the an
nounccments and wasn't entirely sure
of the result until the official score
came. Several times during the aft
crnoon I'd given up the meet for lost
But when the final standard showed
that eight of the boys l brought east
had placed l was perfectly satisfied"
An analysis of the performances of
the athletes of the first three teams
shows that California placed men in
eight of the 13 events. Harvard placed
in seven and Dartmouth in five. Cali
fornia won one first, tied for two 9TH
err first places, won one second, two
thirds and two fourths. Harvard won
one first and tied for another, three
seconds. one third. one fourth and
one fifth. Dartmouth earned her 90
points with three firsts, third, and
a fourth.
Although the track was fast and
conditions were favorable for record
breaking, not a single l. c. A. A. A. A.
mark was bettered. The standard of
performance, however, was high The
games were run under a cloudy sky,
with an occasional drop of rain and
in a hot, humid atmosphere
