The Freshman track team won the meet yesterday afternoon against the combination of Boston preparatory schools, by the score of 89 points to 28. The weather conditions were on the whole fairly good. It was decided to count the points in the two-mile and the hammer-throw in the scoring, although the former is not a schoolboy event, and in the latter no entries from the schools were made. Brookline High School was unable to enter any men at the last moment, and so the number of schoolboy competitors was considerably smaller than expected.
The school team was unusually strong in the sprints and won all except two points; but in the longer runs the majority of points went to the Freshmen. In the two-mile, the pole-vault and the shot-put, the Freshmen secured all three places.
