...hurdles in 23 3-5s, the shot at 44.5 1-2, the hammer at 165.2 1-2, (breaking a record of 25 years' standing), the discus at 135.7 1-4 and the pole vault at 13.4.

Alcorn, Green hurdler who captured second honors last year, is generally conceded the leader in this class. He has been clocked at 6 2-5 seconds in a recent time trial at Hanover in the 50 yard hurdles. Putnam will most probably finish third for another Dartmouth point...
