...Cable '13, who graduated last year was the Intercollegiate champion hammer-thrower for two years in succession. The team will have a hard time to find a weight man to take his place. The team, however, is better off in this event than Yale, which has no point winner back. Last year H. S. Sturgis '15 won third place in the Yale meet, H. D. Burch '14 and S. B.
