...fair work jumping and will probably go to New York. Shearman, '89, will enter the pole-vault, an event in which Yale has never before had an entry. Kulp, '87 S., and Carlton, '87 are training for the 2 mile bicycle race, but as yet have developed no great speed. The tug-of-war team has not been selected, but Farrington, '86 S. who is rowing in the 'varsity boat will probably anchor...
