...University track team received the first break in the 1926 H-D-C Triangular meet. In the draw for places held at the Harvard Club the day before the meet, Lundell, the Crimson entry in the 300-yard dash, drew the pole, which gave him the advantage of starting in the inside lane at the expense of Glendenning of Dartmouth and Captain Russell of Cornell.

The possession of the latter made the University a slight favorite over...
...Saturday night, February 27, 1926, the speedy Crimson track team again outstripped the invading hosts, placing in every event and totaling 59 points to its credit.

The Crimson track team broke two meet records and took over half of the first places. It scored 54 1-4 points to Dartmouth and Cornell's 33 and 28 3-4. Outstanding performances abounded, for even when records were not humbled, the events brought forth competition close enough to bring the crowd to its feet time after time...
...beginning, but Cornell soon usurped the Green supremacy. The Crimson athletes have most recently been masters of the situation, but if they are destined to hold their present situation and forge ahead of their opponents for a fourth consecutive triumph they will have to turn back two threatening track hordes in the Arena this coming Saturday night. However, disregarding all other factors, it is safe to say that Coach Farrell's 1928 team will make a supreme effort to retain the Triangular laurels and make as creditable a showing as its brilliant predecessors of the past three seasons.DASH LUMINARY...
