Trackmen at A.A.U.

In preparation for the IC4A meet this Saturday, members of the track team competed in the A.A.U. meet in Providence last Saturday night, earning third place in the final team scoring.

Running on a poorly constructed board track and treacherous runways superimposed on a hockey rink, Crimson track men placed in six events, while Captain Bill Schmidt, gaining weight for the coming IC4A hurdle race, remained on the sidelines. The two first places went to Ed Young with his 35-pound weight throw of 48 ft. 71 3-4 in., and Howard Cook in the pole vault.

For the second time this winter bad luck stalked the mile relay team as a fall and the subsequent bad pass prevented the Crimson quartet from gaining anything better than a fourth in the 1600 meter relay.

Special mention goes to Henry Marcy whose last minute sprint was begun just too late to exchange his second for first place in the 3000-meter steeplechase, and Freshman Mason Fernald who gained a fourth place for himself in the 40 meter hurdles.
