WINTHROP HOUSE REVIVES HORSESHOE PITCHING GAME

P. S. Wild, Jr., head tutor of Winthrop House, and P. H. Futcher '32, chairman of the Winthrop House committee, inaugurated the old American game of horse-shoe pitching as a House activity yesterday evening in the Gore Hall courtyard.

The movement is in contrast to that under way in Lowell House to establish "bowling on the green"; the latter is an essentially English game, and the equipment for it costs over $50. The horse shoes for the games at Winthrop House were obtained only when a House member pursued a horse-drawn milk wagon, to a smithy in East Boston in the early morning.
