...Hammer-Throw.--Won by R. G. Norris '24, 70 ft.; second, H. S. Grew Jr. '24, 30 ft.; third, J. F. Brown '22, scratch...
Jordon, winner of last year's shot-put against the Crimson, has put the 16-pound shot nearly 44 feet and stands out as the foremost contestant in this event with Boltwood as the second best man. In the hammer-throw also, the winner of last year's dual meet against Harvard is again eligible.

Greely '25 caused surprise by defeating Malcolm Morse '24, one of the few University entries to score in the recent Intercollegiate meet in New York at the end of the winter track season. Morse tied for second place...
