...Dartmouth was defeated by the University track team in the dual meet on Soldiers Field Saturday by the score of 68 points to 19. The Dartmouth team proved much stronger than had been expected, and in several cases won events which had previously been conceded to Harvard. The university team, on the other hand, showed weaknesses in the events in which it was thought to be the strongest, as for instance the quarter and half-mile. As a result of the hard rains during the past week the track was rather heavy and slow, and a downpour, which came just...
...Dartmouth secured 6 first, 5 second, and 4 third places to Harvard's 7 first, 8 second, and 9 third places. The University team does not seem to be in as good condition as last year at this time, a fact which cannot be laid to the weather or lack of competition. E. K. Merrihew '10 was not allowed to start at all; F. M. deSelding '10 ran with a sore ankle; H. Watson '10 was beaten in slow time compared to that he made in the Harvard-Yale Freshman dual meet last year; and P. C. Lockwood...
Captain A. B. Shaw of Dartmouth continued his record performances in the 120-yard hurdles, winning from W. M. Rand '09 by three yards. The time, 15 1-5 seconds, was the equal of the world's record held by A. C. Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania, but was not allowed, as Shaw knocked over the first two hurdles. Third place went to A. B. Mason '08, who finished about a yard behind Rand...
...yard dash was a disappointment from the Harvard standpoint. Sherman of Dartmouth won in 10 1-5 seconds, nearly a yard ahead of Lockwood, who barely beat out Hawley of Dartmouth. Captain Dodge failed to place. In the 220-yard dash it was thought best not to start Captain Dodge, as the muddy track made the risk of mishap too great. This event was also won by Sherman in the slow time of 22 3-5 seconds. Hawley was second and T. S. Blumer '10 was third...
Harvard secured first and third places in both the mile and two-mile. The mile was won by H. F. Miller, Jr., '08, who took the lead at the start and gradually increased it during the race, winning in 4 minutes, 36 1-5 seconds. Barstow of Dartmouth was second and E. L. Viets '10 third. The two-mile was won by M. S. Crosby '08 in the slow time of 10 minutes, 11 1-5 seconds, after much changing of leaders and a fast spurt the last half lap. Walker of Dartmouth came in second three yards behind Crosby...
