 An abundance of prominent vet. e1ans and many promising new corners in the college weight events for the coming outdoor season prophecies a year of record or close to-record achievements. Only in tn. hammer throw, the event in which development of stars has fallen of considerably dlring the past decade does the prospect appear lean.
 Edwin Black of Maine, whc whirled the hammer I'll feet 1 incl, last season, which was six feet far ther than his nearest opponent, is done with intercollegiate competi- tion. Gwinn of Pittsburgh. ketz oi Michigan and Ujhelyi of Ohio Stata all point winners of year ago, have graduated, too.
 Stanford Pair Outstanding
 The shot put situation, however is greatly encouraging in severd, sections of the country. Both liar low Rothert and Eric krenz, giant Stanford athletes, will be on hand with their losses of 50 feet or bet ter, while the all-round star, Der nard Berlinger if the University oi Pennsylvania, should have a suo- cessful year with the shot, in addi. ton to his pole vaulting and hign jumping.
 Sam Behr. Wisconsin's left-hand- ed ace and Western Conference champion, and Charles Buck Weaver of Chicago, runner-up l.. Behr, were in great form and clos< to the 50-foot mark in the past in door season. Early reports from Pacific Coast indicate that Pan Jessup, 6-foot Finch giant of thr University Of Washington, vii break into the 50-foot group th,> year.
 Krenz Tops Discus Field
 The field in the discus looks SC strong that Eric Krenz, Stanford University star and holder of tn, American record at 163 feet S3t inches, may sec his mark surpasse1 this season-this in spite of thG graduation of Anderson of Cornell and Rasmus of Ohio State, two oi the leading lights in the discus last season.
 Fate played a mean trick on An derson last year at the Ohio relay, when the big Cornellian got off 2 worlds record throw only to havl the platter fall outside the legal % degree arc. Rasmus broke what was then recognized as a world record in the National Collegiate with a hcaNc of 15e feet l 7-- inches.
 In addition to krenz, the two time weight man, Jessup and Ed Mocllcr of the University of Oregon will be flirting with q new record Each has recorded throws well over the 15O-foot mark in many biz events. Mocllcr has one throw D! 160 feet inch to his credit. Harry Schneider of New York University placed in the l. C. 4-A meet last year and is back again. The Uni versity of Illinois pins hopes OH Purma, who reached the l50foot mark last year as a freshman.
 Class is written all over the field in the javclin throw. Although II is comparatively recent event on the American program, marks :1 this speciality have been raised from year to year until they now compar tavorably with records in foreign countries where the javcin throw long has been q part of all trac% meets
 Lee Bartlett of Albion and Wilbur Rinehart of Indiana, two stars whc did better than 200 feet last year have dropped out of the intcrcollcSi ate picture. Two other stars of last season, Jesse Mortensen of Southern California and Chambers of Illinois ies. Mortense1 has a shoulder in- jury resulting from the 1929 foot ball season, while Chambers reCeiy, cd q setback in wrestling that may affect his throwing arm.
 California Pair Do zoo Feet
