1912 WON MEET AT ANDOVER

The Freshman track team defeated Phillips Andover Academy Saturday afternoon at Andover by the close score of 57 to 51 points. In spite of the poor condition of the track, the times in several events were unusually fast.

The Freshmen won the first event, but Andover made a strong showing and at one time led by the score of 30 to 15. Before the last two events, the pole-vault and the broad jump, Andover led by 12 points. In both events, however, the Freshmeen won all three places.

The feature of the meet was the 880-yard run, in which W. H. Fernald '12 finished twenty yards in the lead, beating the Andover Academy record of 2 min., 2 1-4 sec., by a fraction of a second.
