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).
