SMASHING RECORDS.
A Great Day on the Berkeley
University Campus.
Several Thousand People Witness Spirited
Contests on Turf and Track.
Speedy Sprinters.

The twentieth field-day of the University
OF California at Berkeley yesterday will
long be remembered by the students of the
coilege OF learning rs being a remarkable
day in the athletic historyof the university.
The athletes of the college, who are
known to the athletic fraternity in general
as the U. C.'s, did themselves great credit
in the way of smashing college and coast
records In various events. They were, 50
to speak, tuned up to the handle. Every
man who stripped fer the contests was in
the pink Of condition, all owing to the
strict attention the boys had given TO train
ing for soma weeks past.
The cinder path was in fairly good condi-
ton. but at glance it could be seen that
the east side, where the short-distance races
were run, had about six inches Of fall in
favor of the contestants.
The pistol firer, ID. Il. Mcmillan, held the
runners on their marks perhaps longer than
they have been accustomed TO remain. He
used the English and Eastern systems of
starting. that is, to hold the runners on
their marks until all Of them had become
fairly set. Previous to yesterday the boys
were dispatched by an inexperienced starter,
who fired the pistol the moment he gave the
order "set"
The track is about 40 yards over FIVE laps
TO the mile and if properly rolled and
cared for it would be unquestionably fast.
Ihere was very large attendance Of
ladies, who seemed To take great interest
In the games. A brass band discoursed
music while the games were in progress.
As previously stated, several records were
lowered. In the maiden 100 r. A. Chick. a
smart-looklng young fellow, ran the dis
tance In 10A seconds. He gained about two
yards On the pistol, but, nevertheless, ran a
great race
In the 12O-yard dash Mays and Woodward
ran dead heat in u 3 seconds, which
broke the University Clubs record of II 4-5
seconds. Mays ran from scratch. He gave
the race to Woodward rather than run a
second heat.
In the mile run +. S. Pheby broke the U.
I. record OF 4 minutes AZ % seconds, held
by himself. He finished the distance yes
terday in minutes AZ 1-5 seconds.
The result of the 220-yard hurdle race was
a great surprise to +. Il. Foster of the 0lym-
pic Club, who was an interested spectator.
1. V. Bakewell. very promising sprinter,
finished the distance in q seconds from the
scratch. The coast record was q 2-5 sec
onds. held 10y Foster, and the University
record was 2S 2-5 seconds. held by w. II.
Henry. Foster was surprised when the
time was announced, and informed the
timers that the weather must have had its
influence on their timepieces. Peter McIn-
tyre blushed. and in his quiet and unassum-
ing way remarked that his clock would not
be affected by an earthquake.
However Foster has now forgotten all
about his rheumatic knee joints and will be
in tp-t0p trim to measure strides with
keter and Bakewell on championship day.
II. {. Cassidy of the Occidental Club was
beaten 10 yards from the tape in the two
mile run by I. w. Lloyd of the University
Club. Cassidy thought that the lap pre-
vOus TO the last was the final and he ran
himself out In the final lap LLOYD stole a
march on him and passed Cassidy 10 yards
from the tape.
In the 10O-yard open handicap c. Smith
of the A. A. A. A, with y yards handicap,
finished in 10 10 seconds, which is fast
time.
In the pole vault L. C. Van Dyke cleared
9 feet 10 As inches. The University Club
record was feet 9B inches.
In the running high jump f. V. Whiting
cleared feet inches, breaking the coast
record Of feet SA inches. held by II. c.
Moffitt.
In the running hop step and jump
WOosey covered 45 feet " inch, breaking
the coast record OF 43 feet held by w, A.
