Track Team Finishes Third in Heps

Captain Mark Mullin, Rick DeLone, and Ted Bailey won their events against strong opposition in the Heptagonal Games Saturday at Hanover, but the varsity track team as a whole was considerably less successful. The Crimson, expected to battle it out with Yale for the team title, settled for a meek third-place finish with 43 1/2 points, ten behind the Elis and five in back of Army.

Mullin ran a solid race to hand Cornell sophomore Steve Machooka the first mile defeat of his career. The Crimson captain's time for the mile was 4:10.1, three seconds slower than the record he set last year, but still eminently respectable.

In the shot put, DeLone came through with a 54 ft., 1/2 in. toss to beat Navy's Mike Berkowitz by slightly more than a foot Bailey took the hammer at 136 ft., 2 in., while Loren Clayman was fifth in the same event.

Only three Crimson runners besides Mullin scored at all. Eddie Meehan finished third in the mile, and Ed Hamlin, and Harry Rich were third and fourth in the 880.

Hobie Armstong leaped 47 ft., 6 1/4 in. in his third competitive try at the hop, step, and jump to take second, and Zeke Azikiwe followed him in fourth. In the discus, Sarge Nichols finished second with a fine 154 ft., 10 1/4 in. effort, and Clyman took third. Sid Marland's 22 ft., 3 3/4 in. leap put him in a tie for second in the broad jump.

Jay Luck or Yale won the high hurdles in 14.4 and the lows in 22.9, and then ran a 47.0 anchor leg on the Elis' 3:13.4 mile.
