summer at the A. A. L. championships
Cook did twelve feet three inches In the
pole vault and missed twelve fee: six inch
es by only the fraction of al inch. In tho
broad jump he did nearly twenty-four
feet. There are some people who mink
that Cook has no equal in either or IN"

Knox, the winner of the broad jump This
leaves Yale with only Dray. Campbell
and Gilbert. who scored eight points in
the pole vault. and Butler and Stevens.
who secured four points i'm the two
sprints! Yale ought TO make up much OF
this strength with Cooney. who a
freshman threw the sixteen pound ham
mer nearly 100 feet last year and is likely
to be the. favorite for the event this year.
Stevens, who got up from sick bed 20

ever. and with the help OF several new
men the Blue will still be very formidable
The other colleges I'm the association are
not likely TO cause much trouble for the
