Watching. The record breaking fever
broke out early in yesterdays trials
when Summers, the giant Alexandria
youth who represents v. M. I. in
football. basketball and track. shot
ths 16-pound missile out of 43 feet
1nches, breaking Barkers mark.

and whirl the plate 129 feet 1t was
an even better mark than Bob made

weeks ago. LeGendre stepped up
with the tavelin and made another
new mark when he heaved the spear

dfnicult to negotiate in the pole,
broad jump and high jump. Since

working on the track and field and
today will nnd improved going.

always within himself in the limit of
his exertions.
