announced as time for the event, ample
proof to the spectators that the track
was short. Bob Eller of Georgetown put
the twelve-pound shot for a distance of
forty-four feet seven inches. Blanchard,
the former Colgate University athlete,
made his debut as shot-putter for Uni
versity of Virginia His put was but a
few inches behind that of the George
town mans. but was a disappointment
in view of the form he has shown in re-
cent practice.
