Talbot Threw the Hammer We'll In Penn
sylvania Games-Howe's Work.
A whole lot OF folks wanted to know al
the Pennsylvania relay games last Saturday
what has become OF Cook OF Cornell In the
broad jump and pole vault and why he
failed to qualify In the latter event par
ticulary. The answer was simple he
wasn't there. Cook Is not going to vault
at ell this season and probably Coach Moak-
ley thought he had some other men who
needed experience a grest deal more than
did Cook. The showing Of Nixon, who was
third in the broad jump with % feet inches.
must be comforting to Moakley, now that
he has lost some more or less certain points
through the illness Of Young. his distance
man.
Talbot. tho youthful wonder. made
good by tossing the hammer moro than

Yale. Horr OF Syracuse, who won the event
last year, didn't compete In II this time.
Talbott's throw was the best that ever has
been done in tho Pennsylvania relay games
and is not so far behind John DeWitt's
collesiato record. 20
