...will be the mainstay of the team in the hammer-throw. Parker, Douglas, and Cable and Batchelder of the 1913 team, will also be developed by Coach Quinn. The pole-vault will be the weakest department of the field events, since no men will be available who can clear over 11 feet...
Thus it is clear that a great many men make use of the tennis courts, and further that the demand exceeds the supply. And this is in spite of the fact that many of them are unfit to play on; for their surface, if we may so term it, is rough and covered with a substantial dressing of fine dust...
