Trackmen Swamp Exeter, Taking All Six First Places

Sweeping six out of six first places, Jaako Mikkola's winter trackmen had little difficulty in last Saturday's dual meet at Exeter as they burled the prep-schoolers under a 41 to 13 avalanche.

High men for the Crimson were Cliff Wharton with two firsts, and Pete Harwood with a first and a second. The latter cleared 12 feet on his opening tault and then placed second in the shot put behind big Jeff Tootell, who heaved the regulation schoolboy 12-pound shot 50 feet.

Warning against over-optimism, Mikkola states that his squad will have to improve if they are to beat a reportedly strong Andover team next Saturday. Andover yielded to Tufts Saturday by only 10 points or so.

The summary:

40 yard dash--Won by C. Wharton (H); second, Harwood (E); third, Markum (E). Time--4.7 sec. 1000 yard run--Won by C. Robbins (H); second, V. Moriarty (H), third, C. Atwell (H). Time--2 min. 27 4-10 sec. 300 yard dash--Won by C. Wharton (H); second, Clark (E); tie for third between R. Mannix (H) and R. Clark (H). Time--34 6-10 sec. 600 yard run--Tie for first between M. Tuttle (H) and H. De Fries (H); third, Hamblett (E). Time--1 min., 19 sec. Shot put--Won by J. Tootell (H); second, P. Harwood (H); third, Young (E). Distance--50 feet. Pole vault--Won by P.
