Six weeks ago, in the Penn Relay Carnival, he started out creditably with a 55 ft. 5⅜ in. toss that broke the meet record by almost three feet. Last week, in the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. track meet, held in a downpour at Harvard's Stadium, the Georgetown giant, skidding around in ankle-deep mud, heaved the slippery cannonball 53 ft. 6⅜ in., later...
