Yardling Track Team Bows to Dartmouth

Pre-exam weakness cost the freshman track team heavily, as it lost its first meet to Dartmouth in over ten years, 66 to 43, at Hanover, Saturday.

The Yardlings swept the mile, as Wes Hildreth, Gary Brooten, and Wharton Sinkler finished in that order. Dave Donaldson took the two mile, while Art Cahn won the 1000. Dunc Johnson won the weight, while the two-mile relay team of Sinkler, Dave Call, Cahn, nd Hildreth chalked up the only other Yardling win.

Weaknesses in the field and the dash and hurdles proved the downfall for the freshmen, as Dartmouth swept the dash, hurdles, and pole vault, the latter at 11 feet. They also finished first and second in the shot put.
