FORMER TRACK STAR WINS TWICE IN CAMBRIDGE MEET

Again R. L. Hyatt '24, a former University track star, has distinguished himself under the colors of Oxford University, scoring heavily in the fifty-eighth annual track meet between Oxford and Cambridge last week. Hyatt helped materially last year in Oxford's 6 to 5 victory over Cambridge by winning the shot put and pole vault events. This year, although Cambridge won the meet, Hyatt took two firsts, in the broad jump and pole vault, setting a new meet record in the latter event when he cleared 12 feet in an exhibition leap after having won the event at 11 feet 3 inches. The former Harvard man was the outstanding individual contestant in the meet and shared with Lord Burghley, England's foremost hurdler, and R. S. Starr, Cambridge distance runner, the distinction of being winner of two first places.

Regarded as one of the best all-around athletes at Harvard, Hyatt was for two years a star on the track team. In 1923 he won the high jump in the Yale meet although handicapped by an injury received in his Sophomore year, and in 1924 he placed in the broad jump.
