...time made by Shaw of Dartmouth last year. Talbott of Cornell was unable to reach his own mark of 167 feet, 4 inches, in the hammer-throw, but nevertheless made one of the best throws in recent intercollegiate meets with 158 feet, 9 1-2 inches. In the shot-put Little of Harvard, came within 3 1-2 inches of the record made by Krueger of Swarthmore two years ago.
