Caber Toss <br />The Caber is a tree that has been cut and <br />trimmed down so one end is slightly wider <br />than the other. It can vary length from 16 <br />to 22 feet and between 100 and 180 <br />pounds. The caber is stood up for the <br />thrower with the large end up. The <br />thrower hoists the caber up and cups the <br />small end in his hands. He then takes a <br />short run with the caber and then stops <br />and pulls the caber so that the large end <br />hits the ground and the small end flips <br />over and faces away from the thrower. <br />The caber is scored for accuracy as <br />though the thrower is facing the 12:00 <br />position on a clock face. Ajudge behind <br />the thrower calls how close to the 12:00 <br />position the small end of the caber lands, <br />12:00 being a perfect toss. If the caber is <br />not turned, the judge calls the degrees of <br />the angle the caber makes with the <br />ground. <br />Sheaf Toss <br />The sheaf is a 16 -lb. bag stuffed with <br />either chopped rope, straw, or mulch. The <br />sheaf is tossed over a cross bar with a <br />pitch fork.'Three attempts are allowed at <br />each height. If the thrower misses all <br />three tries at one height, the he is out of <br />the competition. <br />c <br />M W <br />W <br />at SAINT MARY'S <br />COMFORT *CONVENIENCE* CLAS S <br />Located at the junction of the Indiana Toll Road and <br />US. 31133 at Saint Mary's College Campus, adjacent to the University <br />of Notre Dame, just minutes to downtown and the airport. <br />*150 Luxury Rooms & Suites <br />*Complimentary Continental Breakfast <br />*High Speed Internet Access <br />*Conference Facilities <br />*The `Faculty Lounge" <br />*Free Local Telephone Calls <br />*Cable TV /Movie Channel <br />*Complimentary Airport Shuttle <br />*State of the Art Exercise Center, <br />with Whirlpool and Sauna <br />*24 -Hour Business Center <br />*Gift & Sundry Shop <br />(219) 232 -4000 <br />(800) 94 ST -MARY <br />53993 US 31/33 North <br />South Bend, IN 46637 <br />www.innatsaintmarvs.com <br />iasm@worldnet.att.net <br />
