...following is the first of two articles dealing with the history of the Triangular track meets in which the University team first competed in 1917 against Dartmouth and Penn State. The war intervened and when the meet was revived in 1920 Cornell replaced Penn State on the schedule. Since that year the Triangular classic has been an annual feature of the winter track season...
With the 1928 track season well under way and one of the outstanding meets, the Cornell-Dartmouth-Harvard Triangular classic, just a few days off, a rapid summary and review of Triangular meet history will serve both to recall some of the greatest of Crimson track athletes and to reveal the brilliant record established by the immediate successors of the present team which faces one of its severest tests on Saturday evening, February 25. For when the University track team meets its two traditional foes, Cornell and Dartmouth, in the tenth Triangular meet in the Arena, it will bear...
First, by looking at the comparative scores of the nine previous Triangular meets, an idea may be obtained of the progress which the Crimson track team has made in the last three years. The origin of the classic goes back to the year 1917, when the University runners trailed the Hanoverian spikemen while Penn State, at that time the third party in the meet, made a miserable showing, accumulating only 11 1-2 points. In 1918 the World War intervened and it was not until 1920 that the next Triangular meet was held. Cornell now took the place of Penn...
...years ago, in 1922, Cornell, as may be seen above, repeated its 1921 victory, showing its heels to the Crimson and Green teams for the second successive year in the annual meet. Entering the evening's contest a heavy favorite, it emerged on the long end of the score with a safe ten-point margin over the University. The Hanover runners were a good third, being nine and one half points behind the Crimson team which had amassed 38 1-2 points. During this year W. J. Bingham '16, now Director of Athletics in the University, was head track mentor...
...Triangular clash found the University on the short end of the score. Dartmouth had come to the fore and turned the tables on an inexperienced Cornell aggregation. The Green runners were heavy favorites before the meet and lived up to expectations. The Ithacans suffered from both inexperience and the graduation of the previous year. Harvard suffered most of all through injuries and illness. R. L. Hyatt '24, star high jumper, due to an injured back, was lost for the season. Percy Jenkins '24 was eliminated from the dashes by an attack of grippe. The Hanover invaders were generally powerful, scoring...
