Harvard in the annual dual meet.
emerging with a total of 951a points to
the 391a of the Crimson.
Favored by an exceptionally fast
track, the athletes knocked many exist
ing records into the obscure past Two
new Princeton track records were hung
up, while eight previous dual meet
marks fell by the wayside. One addi-
tional dual record and one Princeton
record were equaled.

yard high hurdles, the brilliant and ver-
satile S. Harrison Thompson topped the
timbers in Is 1-5 seconds. In so doing

fastest time OF the day. as well as send
ing his team into lead from which 1t
was never headed. In addition, Thomp-
son captured firsts in the discus and
shot put and second place in the high
jump and broad jump. The big boy was
perfectly willing to enter the sprints as
well, but was restricted to his FL points.
McKim, Princeton's youthful sprinter.
won second highest individual honors
with his first place In the 100 and 220
yard dashes. Don" Lourie, football
star, came close behind with his first in
the broad jump and his second In the
400 yard dash.
Day IL Ideal.
Rarely has a more beautiful day been
provided for track meet here. The
slight breeze was just enough to
straighten out the Crimson banner Of
Harvard and the Orange and Black of
Princeton. which were above the two
entrance towers of the stadium. A band
played lively airs, ancient and modern.
while the athletes strove for their alma
matters. The unusually large crowd for
track meet was colorful, composed
of feminine guests, seniors in their
beer suits" of white. and other under
graduates. The beautiful turf of the
stadium added the finishing touch.
Never from the start was there any
doubt of the ultimate victory going to
the Tigers. In all, Princeton won eleven
OF the fifteen first places, with Harvard
three and one tie-that In the pole vault.
Harvard's three firsts were won for
her by Capt. Fiske Brown in the ham,
ner throw. when he made a mighty
heave of 166 feet inches. breaking q
mile run after a pretty race, and by
Greenidge in the javelin throw, with a
distance Of 1853 feet 2 inches.
The marks in the tavelin and discus
were set down as both dual meet and
Princeton track records, since this was
the first time that these two events had
been part of the program.
The best race of the day came in the
mile run. when after a hot struggle
through four laps. "Jumpy'' Conger
beat out Burk of Harvard. highly
touted after his sensational time at
Cambridge two weeks ago. The climax
came in the stretch. when Conger out

Capt Bill Stevenson. national title

quarter" the struggle being for sec

mate. and Merrill of the Crimson. who
won the position. Stevenson broke his

years ago by Frank Murrey here.
The two mile run was a gruelling
struggle, which demanded and gotevery-
thing out of the contenders. Covington
of Princeton held an easy lead for the
first four laps, but was then passed by
Lund of Harvard, who finished first.
