Acadia Takes Fifth Straight Title

The June 1912 Athenaeum summed up the track season: “A successful year in athletics has been brought to a close by another victory at the annual Intercollegiate Meet. For the fifth consecutive year, the track cup comes to Wolfville. Seven wins in ten years is a record of which Acadia students need not feel ashamed.” During the 23 May 1912 meet in Moncton, New Brunswick, Acadia scored 41¾ points to Mt Allison’s 33 4/5 and University of New Brunswick’s 14 3/5. Higgins once again set a new pole vault record while Brown set a record in the mile and Acadia’s Leeman, Andrews and Logan swept the broad jump.
