Track A setback at the hands of a strong Union College squad in the initial meet of the campaign was the only barrier which prevented the 1933 trackmen from dupli- cating their undefeated record of the previous season. As it was, the team swept through its remaining three dual engagements and placed fifth in a field of ten col- leges at the New England Intercollcgiates. Several records also fell before the on- slaught of brilliant individual performances during the season. Captain Swanson broke a mark of nineteen years standing when he negotiated the half-mile in 2.2 B! 5. Thayer, undefeated in two seasons of competition in his specialty, won the javelin title in the intercollegiate meet, setting up a new Trinity standard of 179 feet 3M inchesg and Daut, captain-elect for this spring, twice equalled the college record of 26.2 for the low hurdles. Union defeated Trinity rather handily in the seasonal opener with a 77-4-9 score. Outpointed in the field contests, the victors demonstrated a decided superi- ority in all of the running events to more than offset this disadvantage. The Trinity runners, especially the distance men, appeared in need of a good deal more conditioning. However, at the intercollegiate games the next week, a picked Blue and Gold squad showed a complete reversal of form, and, by amassing 16 points, gave the best showing a Trinity track representation has yet made in this annual competition. In addition to Thaycr's record- smashing feat, Kellam, the best high- jumper Trinity has ever had, tied for first place with Chase of Mass. State College in this event. Daut also excelled by taking a very close second in the high hurdles. The next dual meet was with Tufts and resulted in an easy 77-49 triumph for Trinity, despite the fact that the losers had edged out the Blue and Gold for fourth place at the New England championships the week previous. Daut and Kellam exhibited great versatility and Gladwin starred in the distance runs. Massachusetts State was even more decisively trounccd in the third encounter by an 87-39 count. Kellam won three events and Daut two. Swanson and Harris featured in the running events. The final meet of the year again found Trinity on the long end of the score, this time with an 86-40 margin. Connecticut State furnished the opposition. Once more Daut and Kellam carried off top-honors. Daut captured three firsts and Kcllam won two, with both men picking up many points in additional events. Thayer and Swanson, seniors, finished in spectacular fashion, and Grant, a freshman, showed his class as a quarter-miler. Prospects this spring are very bright with most of the men back who have been responsible for the fine two-year record of seven victories in eight meets. Captain Daut, Kellam and Warner can be counted on to register many points by virtue of their all-around prowess. Harris, Gladwin and R. Lau will form a strong nucleus for the distance runs. Alexander, Mowbray and O. Johnson in the field events, and S. Smith, Grant and Hazenbush, runners, complete the large list of lcttermen on hand to bolster Coach Oosting's promising squad. 174
