TRACK The Pole-Vault The 1947-191 ' 8 Track Season proved successful from the annual Freshman camp meet, right clown to the hig I.C. 4A meet in June. The outdoor track season opened with a meet with Brown University on April 17. Brown took the laurels in that meet hut only hy the slim margin of eleven points. Wayne Carter started the Tech surge by winning the high hurdles in 15.9 sec- onds. The rest of the meet was close all the way with Ingraham, Isola, and Henze showing up well in the track events, while Adams scored ten points in the field events. Two weeks later in a triangular meet on Open House Day, the Tech squad hit the winning trail hy taking the meet seventy {)oints above the closest conten«lcr. In several events Techmen filled all of the scoring positions. When Tufts visited the Tech campus, our team again turned in a triumphant score when the last tape had been broken. Though there wasn ' t a wide margin which we had in the preceding meet, there was a nineteen-point lead over the Tufts s(|uad. This time a Techman won first place in all but four events, and it was a different man who won each event. In the last dual meet of the season in which Tech was host to New Hampshire, still another victory was added to a good year ' s record. It was the track men ' s turn to stand out over the field men in this meet; a Techman won every track event, while only one field event was won by Tech. The fres hmen, not to be denied their victories, won three out of five of their dual meets with Taking the First ffurdle rrrt ■■ ■ ■ Bfll SB IBH HH HB B B BB HB HB V g • H B B I W W J S E SI H i M M W - B BflH BflB ■ MAY 1
