First of all, athletic recruiting is only a small part of alumni admissions activity. In some areas, Harvard Clubs tend to be repelled, rather than attracted, when a candidate turns out to be muscular.

John Lawlor of the Terriers began the meet with an outstanding performance, tossing the 35-lb. weight 59 ft., 3 1/2 in. for new meet and B.U. records. Eino Keerd, Lawlor's muscular teammate, set another meet record in his specialty, throwing the 16-lb. shot a distance...

Rhode Island: Ravaged by internecine disputes. Rhode Island's once-muscular Democratic machine wavered in the primary, provided a real flank opening for popular Republican Christopher Del Sesto, 51. whose knife-edged victory over Democrat Dennis J. Roberts, 55. two years ago was reversed on a technicality. This time Republican Del Sesto turned the trick against Roberts, won by better than a knife's edge...
