Description
Student competing in the log toss on Back Campus during the first Real Olympics, St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland, June 1955.
An article in the Evening Capital (June 7, 1955) describes the game: "The first match was an approximation of the Scottish Highland sport of tossing the tabor. On each toss the tabor splintered and cracked, but lasted long enough for Doric Mechau, one of the juniors, to be determined the winner over competitor Paul Lowdenslager."
