Quoted on the linear measurement
standard instead of the metric, each
winning track effort automatically
became a meet record. But the only
legitimate record-smashing was done
by the meets outstanding performer,
Francis Ryan of Columbia, who wiped
out the 49-foot 4as Inch mark set by
Dartmouth's Tony Geniawicz last
year with his winning shotput Of so
feet 81 inches. Since the point dis
tribution was 6-4-3-2-1, Ryan COL
lected II by also placing second to
Harvard's John Herrick in the discus
and fifth in the javelin.
Johnny Irwin of Princeton was
clicked in 1856 seconds, which EQUALS
the IC4A record, while winning the
220 low hurdles and Johnny Dono-
van Of Dartmouth, owner of both
1C4A timber-toppdng titles, won the
100 high hurdles in 14.6 seconds.
Neither Of those marks could be Ger
titled as meet records because of the
