Track Captain Fails
to Score Point

Jimmie Merrill, retiring cap
tain of the Harvard track and
field team, holds a unique rec
ord for college track season
just ended, for through the en-
tire course of its dual meets
with Virginia. Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Prince
ton and Yale, and in the inter-
collegiate meet, he failed to
land scoring place. Despite
that record, or lack of record,
Jimmie is regarded as one of
the most able leaders Harvard
has had.

From the rear of the Garden,
however, it looked as though Her
man was winning. People back
there couldn't see that Lynch
blocked most Of the blows, and
they failed to see dozens Of little
jolts that Lynch landed.
Then at Toledo, in the third
round, Willard jolted Dempsey
with q right hook at close quar-
tiers that almost dropped Jack to
the floor. This could only be seen
from the writer's side Of the ring.
Reporters on the opposite side Of
the ring couldn't possibly have
seen it, and must have wondered
what caused Jacks knees to sag.
Then again, in the first round of
the fight, when Dempsey dropped
Willard with the first punch,
those on the writer's side Of the
ring were puzzled because they
didn't see the blow.
We knew it was a left-hander,
but couldn't tell where it landed.
1t is no wonder that some of the
judges in local bouts are thought
to be blind by the spectators.

At one time there must have

according to Moreno's estimate.
