...Penttila, representing Finland, has launched the javelin 213 feet. Sund, the Norwegian, has done 204 feet and Molles of Germany and Lindstrom from Sweden have also achieved something like 200 odd feet. America cannot equal these European marks.

Coach Farrell named as the best performers from Europe, Peltzer of Germany, Sangerson of France, Petterson of Sweden and Burghley of England. The Americans who will probably be entered are Gibson of Fordham, who defeated Burghley of England at the Pennsylvania Relays, Taylor, the 1924 Olympic winner, and Steinbrenner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who was intercollegiate champion last year...
