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

INFORMAL SPORTS Cross-Country Although it is not a recognized sport, cross-country running has added consid- erably to the interest of the fall athletic program at Trinity. Intramural runs have been held annually for the past three years, but it was not until 1932 that a regular team was formed to participate in intercollegiate contests. Under the direction of Ray Oosting, Director of Athletics, the 1933 team finished a season that may be called exceptionally good in View of the fact that it was the largest and most rigorous yet undertaken and that the schedule included schools at which intercollegiate cross-country was already well established. Four meets were held last fall, three of which were won by the Blue and Gold team composed of Gladwin, Mountford, Castagno, Bauer, French, Lane, and Athearn. On October 20 the team won its first meet from St. Stephens at Annandale, N. Y., by a score of 23-33, on a course of three and a half miles length. Gladwin finished in second place, Mountford third, Castagno fourth, French sixth, and Bauer seventh. A strong Connecticut State team ran away with the second meet by a score of 15-40. The two teams ran on the 3.4 miles course at Storrs on October 24 in a pouring rain. The first five places were captured by Connecticut runners, Gladwin finishing sixth and Mountford seventh. On November 3 the Wesleyan harriers met defeat in our first run against that team. The meet was held on our home course of 2.5 miles length. The score was 20-35. Gladwin took first place with a time of 14 minutes, 4M seconds. Mount- ford, Bauer, and French finished in third, fourth, and fifth places respectively. The last run of the season was also held at home, on November 10, the Blue and Gold runners edging out the Coast Guard team by a score of 26-29. Mountford finished first in the time of 14 minutes, 12M seconds. Gladwin took third place and French, fourth. All members of this year's team but two, Gladwin and Lane, were Freshmen, so that, despite the loss of Gladwin, who is a veteran of two years' standing, the prospects look bright for next year's season. Soccer Although soccer is still an unrecognized sport here, many fellows of consider- able ability came out for the team, and the sport this fall enjoyed its greatest suc- cess since it was started at Trinity. The team lost only one game, winning four. The season was ushered in with a victory over Hartford High School in a closely played contest which gave the soccer team's followers a pessimistic outlook for the remainder of the schedule When, however, it defeated a strong Massachusetts State Team, which had lost only two games in three years, the team proved that it was capable of playing a fine brand of ball. Trinity completely outplayed the State eleven, much to the surprise of everyone. The team then conquered a scrappy but totally inexperienced Connect- icut State Team. Although this was no surprise to the Trinity followers, it ap- parently was a shock for the Storrs men, as it was clear that they fully expected a victory. 176
