...broad jump, the hammer, and the javelin that the Crimson picked up most of its unexpected points. In the running leap Canby and Donner of Dartmouth were supposed to finish in that order, but W. C. Rowe 81 surpassed his previous mark with 22 feet 9 1-8 inches and an inch advantage gave A. E. French '29 a second over Canby...
Last week the Kansas City Southern R. R. cut its wheat rate 7 cents per 100 Ib. from midwest points to gulf ports. Wheat exporters were ready to leap with joy.

...outstanding performance of the day was the work of Morin of Prouty High, brother of the star Holy Cross sprinter.

Waterfalls as high as 15 ft. cannot stop them; a flirt of their powerful tails puts them over. They plunge under the face of higher falls, seeking a tail-hold for a second leap. As they hurl their sleek, silvery bodies over the falls, it is clear why they are called "salmon." (Latin salmo means "a leaper.") Goal of the jostling, leaping fish is the quiet of the Yukon's upper pools. Swimming stoutly against the current, it will take them all summer to reach...
