...foot pole vaulter. John deKiewiet would win the high jump, while in the shot and weight, the Cadets are not that far ahead of the Crimson's Jim Doty, John Du Moulin, and Pete Harpel. If they can pick up points, the meet could swing in Harvard's favor before the relays...

Therefore milk contains less strontium 90 in proportion to calcium than the grass or alfalfa that the cows eat.
