SOPHOMORES WIN
A Class Field Day at the
University.
The Lower Classes at Berkeley Con-
test for Supremacy on the Track
and in Rushing.

The rivalry that has long existed between
the sophomore and freshman classes of the
State University added interest yesterday
afternoon to a championship field day.
The class Of '95 were the victors, and the
jolly sophomores were loud in praise of
their athletes and their class in general
Not only did the athletes score success for
them, but those members of the class who
could neither run nor jump did their share
toward making the day memorable in the
history of the class.
Their efforts were eXerted in destroying
the number sc which the freshmen had
placed in large white letters on the hills
back of the university.
This number appeared q little after noon,
and thirty sOphOmores quickly gathered
together, descended the hill and destroyed
the number. They tied up the freshmen,
but the latter begged TO be allowed to 60
down and see the field day, so they were
released. They collected e-enfOrcements
soon after, and turned the tables on the
sophamoTes. They kept the latter tied for
some time. until they could replace their
class number, and then they all went down
to see the track events.
The sophomore class was also victorious
on the oval, as they beat their opponents by
a score Of GO to So. The events were re-
IdIkdDly Wbu run, the small
number who entered the races, but there
was little or no enthusiasm shown on the
part OF the spectators. Only once did the
old-time enthusiasm pervade the grand
stand and that was when the relay race was
run. This race brought out hearty cGee5
and class cries, and it encouraged the run
ners immensely.
The track was soft and not in very good
condition, but in spite of this fact some very
good records were made. In both the open
handicap and the closed mile run good time
was made, but especially was this the case
iii the closed event. Powell walked right
away from his opponents and won in min.
1925 sec. He will push Brown of Stan
ford hard in the coming intercollegiate
races if he improves as he has been doing.
Hoffman has only been practiclng the pole
vault week, yet he cleared ten feet yester-
day. He Will probably add half foot TO
this record OIL the 22d inst
