" party Americans have beer
q adept at tossing things
around, for distance or for accuracy.
With the revival Of the classic
Olympic games, our supremacy in this
respect was maintained consistently
until javelin-throwing was introduced
No match for the Scandinavians at
tossing. our brawny lads have
had their leadership challenged other
wise by Europeans in the art of
heaving athletic implements.
At the last Olympics, the U. S. A.
broke even in the four weight events,
retaining the shotput and discus
championships.
Dr. Patrick O'Callaghan Of Ireland
won the hammer throw for the second
straight time, and the Firms, led by
Matti Jarvinen, dominated the javelin-
tossing competition. Both United
States winners, Leo Sexton and John
Anderson, have retired.

do little work and get into shape, ne
should be the Standout Of the world, !"
writes his coach, Bernie Moore of
Louisiana State.
Jack has done 81 feet, without real
practice, outdoors this Winter, so that
I think his indoor setbacks can be dis
counted"
Zaitz, on the bases of his rapid i'm
provement, and John Lyman, former
Stanford star, who has bettered 81 feet,
are capable of landing the other places
on the team. Lyman has been studying
In Germany and may not return for
the tryouts.
For the discus, the United States has
certain point scorers and potential
champions in Gordon (Slinger) Dunn,
a Stanford product, and Ken Carpen-

ITO feet abroad last Summer and has

Dobie establish cd himself as sort of tradition to be connected with the Cornell foot ball It will be hard to get used to the change.
 Dobie left an amazing record at Cornell despite the lean years which marked the ending of his service at that school When Cor nell defeated it's traditional rival, Penn, in 1921, '22 and 23 to break the spell of Franklin Field, on which the Ithicans had gained only four victories in a series dating back to 1893, Dobie was hailed as mir acle man His off-tackle smash was the most-dreaded power play in football. The names of Kaw and Phann became national football by- words as Cornell went through three unbeaten seasons.
