...reported to have vaulted 10 feet 6 inches, The hammer and shot events are both exceedingly doubtful. If the rowing authorities would allow Woodruff, '89, to compete in the latter event, he would probably be the winner; otherwise, Hunt, L. S., may win.

Stevenson, Sp., next did some spring-board leaping. The meeting now ended as usual with the tug-of-war-'88 vs. '90. Eighty-eight had the south end. She was represented by E. A. Pease, No. 1; C. H. Baldwin, No. 2; P. Chase, No. 3, and F. G. Balch, anchor. The '90 team was R. Jones, No. 1; E. S. Jones, No. 2; L. A. Piper...
