1931 DEFEATS EXETER 64 TO 62

The Freshman track team showed surprising power in edging out a 64 to 62 victory over Exeter Saturday afternoon on the Exeter track.

The issue of the meet was in doubt until the last event of the afternoon, the shot put, in which H. P. Nichols '31 heaved the 12-pound ball 44 feet 10 inches to clinch second place and the meet.

Vernon Munroe '31, captain of the first year team, was the individual star of the meet, taking first place in both the 440 and the 220. In the longer race Munroe held back and helped to pull his teammates. H. S. Freedman '31 and J. P. Gray '31 through in second and third places respectively. The Crimson also made a clean sweep in the furlong with A. L. Watkins '31 and W. C. Rowe '31 following their captain across the line in that order R. C. Aldrich '31, P. S. Dalton '31, and H. D. Everett '31, swelled the Crimson total by taking all three places in the mile run.

George Kuehn was the outstanding performer for the schoolboys, capturing two firsts with very little opposition. In the high jump, Kuehn cleared five feet eight inches with plenty to spare, and then came back to throw the shot 46 feet 11 1-2 inches to win the event with a two-foot leeway over his nearest competitor.
