NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

On Saturday the Crimson Freshmen for the first time in twenty years defeated the Andover track team. In spite of the disadvantage of changing to a dirt track after having run on the boards all season, the well-balanced 1928 team decisively triumphed over the formidable Academy runners by a score of 46 1-2 to 30 1-2.

H. W. Burns '28 after winning the forty-yard dash by an ample margin, finished close behind A. H. O'Neil '28 in a fast 300. The 600-yard, run went to W. L. Taylor '28 who, without being pushed, established a new record for the track of 1m. 18 3-5s. In the 1000-yard race R. G. Luttmann '28 was barely nosed out by the well-timed sprint of Hazzard, the Andover distance man. W. P. Pratt '28 and E. P. Renouf '28 starred for the Crimson in the field events by winning the shot-put and the high jump respectively. Thanks to O'Neil's remarkable burst of speed in the last lap, the Harvard first year men won the relay by an eight-yard margin.
