An abundance Of prominent vet
Grams and many promising new
corners in the college weight events
for the coming outdoor season pro-
phesies a year Of record or close
to-record achievements. Only in the
hammer throw. the event IN which
DEVELOPMENT Of stars has fallen OF
considerably during the past decade,
does the prospect appear lean.
Edwin Black Of Maine, who
vhirled the hammer III feet ] inch
last season, which was six feet far
Their than his nearest opponent. is
done with intercollegiate compe-
tition. Gwinn Of Pittsburg, Ketl Of
Michigan and Ujhelyn Of Ohio
State, all point winners OF e year
ago, have graduated. too.
Stanford Pair Outstanding
The shotput situation, hosrever. is
greatly encouraging in several sec
tons of the country. Both Harlow
Rothert and Eric Krenz, giant
Stanford athletes, will be on hand
with their losses Of so feet or bet
ter. while the all-round star, Ber-
nard Berlinger Of the University oi
Pennsylvania. should have a sue
cessful year with the shot, in ad-
dition TO his pole vaulting and high
jumping.

Krenz Tops Discus Field
The field in the discus looks s
strong that Eric Krenz. Staniore

american record at 1853 feet 8 g.

this season-this in spite Of tn
graduation Of Anderson OF Cornell
and Rasmas Of Ohio state. two @

season.
Fate played a mean trick on An
