Crimson runners won an amazing of yesterday's ten events to the team's total in the two-day Boston track championships record-shattering 125 1/2 points.

contestants from the other five schools were virtual bystanders the Harvard performers set four one University, and two marks. When the dust cleared, college found itself in second with a measly total of 65 1/2. came Northeastern with 59, by B.U., M.I.T., and Tufts.

Lynch got the University record 440-yard hurdles. Running in the championship heat, he started and puffed down the stretch, hitting tape in 0:51.5.

was teammate Aggrey Awori's turn the 120-highs. Awori and Lynch each other stride for stride, for hurdle, right up to the tape Awori winning by inches. His time 0:14.2 broke the meet and stadium .

Wayne Anderson breezed in the 100 and the 220, and both Crimson, teammates were the first him across the tape. Anderson meet records in both with 0:09.8 and clockings.

Hauck took second in the 100 Awori fourth, and Sam Robinson and finished two-three in the 220. Robinson ended up one better in the 440, beating out favored Bob Gilvey of Boston College by three yards.

Gilvey, starting from the outside lane, was boxed in until the stretch and just didn't have enough to close the gap. Robinson's time was 0:48.3. Nope, it wasn't a record.

Harvard added victories in both relays. In the sprint relay, anchorman Hauck took the baton in third place and just caught his rivals a few yards from the tape. It was the beginning of a great little day for the sophomore from England, who had failed to perform up to expectations in the Dartmouth and Brown meets.

The Crimson combined four of its big guns in the mile relay and came up with an, easy win in 3:19.9. Anderson running his fifth race of the day, handed over a two-yard lead to Sam Robinson, who stretched it to five. Keith Chiappa padded that margin, and Tony Lynch turned it on in the anchor to win by 20 yards.

Harvard didn't win the other three events, the 880, the mile, and the two-mile. John Ogden led in the half-mile until midway down the stretch when B.C.'s Gilvey whisked by on the outside. Chiappa got third for the Crimson.

B.C.'s Phil Jutras and Northeastern's Dave Dunsky waged a head-and-head duel in the mile, with Jutras pushing ahead by a stride at the tape to win in 4:14.8. Dunsky lost another heartbreaker in the two-mile. With two laps to go, he sprinted past Dave Allen and looked like a shoo-in, but B.C.'s Bill Norris stuck to his heels and pushed by a few yards from the tape. The time was 9:12.8. Jim Smith was third and Allen fifth for Harvard.
