NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the closed handicap competition in the weight events held on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon, some fair distances were made. H. E. Kersburg '06 won the hammer-throwing contest with a handicap of 15 feet over S. P. Gillis of the N. Y. A. C., and made a throw of 135 feet, 2 inches. R. H. Townsend '09, won the shot-put with an actual put of 36 feet, 3 inches. As the weather was cold, great difficulty in throwing the hammer effectively was experienced, but the form of the men in the ring was excellent. Cups were given for first place in each event.

The summary follows:

Throwing 16-pound hammer-Won by H. E. Kersburg '06, 15 ft.; third, Ellery Clark '96 of the B. A. A., 15 ft. Distance, 150 ft., 2 in.
