Crimson Track Team Victim Of Rhapsody in Blue, 82-27

A golden era in track dawned yesterday afternoon at New Haven. Before an enthusiastic Alumni Day crowd in Coxe Memorial Cage, the Elis gouged the Crimson 82 to 27.

Coach Mikkola, long-accustomed to defeating the Blue, can hardly be blamed for what happened yesterday.

Exploding power which may well carry it to the IC4A championship this Saturday, Yale swept the mile, two-mile, and 600, won both relays, and scored heavily in every other event except the dash and 35-pound weight throw. In the latter event, Sam Felton, who placed second in the Nationals Saturday, hit 56 feet, 9 1/2 inches. This would have won the Nationals, where Felton's best effort was a toss of 54 feet.

The Summary:

60-yard dash--Won by Spivak, (H); second, Thayer, (H); third, Dunleavy, (H). Time--0:06.5.
