...records which seems certain to withstand assaults in the fiftieth annual I. C. A. A. A. A. championships at the Harvard Stadium May 28th and 29th is the mark of 181 feet 6 1-2 inches which Frederick D. Tootell of Bowdoin established in 1923. That mark, made the year before he won the Olympic title, was ten feet further than any other throw in the history of the association. It was more than 105 feet better than the original I. C. A. A. A. A. record for this event and it is my belief that the improvement in this...
Tootell's greatest improvement came in his Senior year. His best mark up to that year was 158 feet, yet in his last year he threw consistently 175 to 185 feet; this last mark which he set at Bowdoin College is the college record.

I have often seen him take three turns and still have from 12 to 18 inches to spare from the front of the circle...
...article which is printed below is a resume of I. C. A. A. A. A. competition, which has now reached the half century mark, by O. F. Hedlund, track coach at M. I. T.

...Captain Todd passes Zarakov, University third sacker, for the lead in batting among the regulars who have officially opposed moundsmen more than 2 times. The Crimson clean-up man is now hitting for the respectable figure of 327, while Zarakov has dropped to .302, barely above the coveted .300 mark...
...Zarakov, no Crimson regular is batting over .300. Ullman's recent streak has brought him up from the less than .200 class to the figure of .263, and should his thumping continue, he bids fair to join the select group. Jones, with an average of .285, and Chauncey, whose mark is .268, still stand between the University second sacker and the leaders...
