In preparing a discus for the use of the spring meeting, Professor White intends to secure the measurements and a pattern of the discus in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and, perhaps, of certain ones in the British Museum, and then have several manufactured from these patterns for our use. This will be done as soon as possible so that practice may commence at once. Professor White himself intends to appear on the field and take part in the practice. Although the sport would seem to be decidedly more graceful, and, as regards exercise at least, more satisfactory than putting the shot, Professor White states that its success may not be certain, for in the German gymnasia, where several attempts have been made to introduce the exercise, not one, as yet, has succeeded. But the introduction of the sport into our games would at least be an interesting novelty, and there seems to be no inherent difficulty in the way of its success with us. It is at least worth the trial. To facilitate learning the practical details of the sport, Prosessor White proposes to place on exhibition in the gymnasium a series of photographs illustrating the different positions and attitudes of the player in throwing the discus; thus, it will be easy for men to engage in the exercise on strictly classical principles, unless the inventiveness of our college athletes devises some new tricks of throwing unknown to the Greeks, and this makes an improvement on their own game and record.
