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