FRESHMEN'S BAYS
Interclass University Field
Day.
A NEW sPRINTER IS FOUND.
No Records Broken, but Promising
Talent Appears to Replace That
Lost Last Year.

The State University Athletic Club, in
common with all similar clubs of cole &c
students, has each year to suffer the loss
of men who by three or four years train
ing have come to be frst-class athletes
and receive in their place new, inexperi-
enced men who have TO be trained to re-
place the lost.
The fall field day" at Berkeley obtains
it largest interest from this fact. All the
students and friends of the university are
anxious to see what the freshmen class
men are as athletes.
Therefore, the grand stand and bleachers
were filled yesterday with college students
and their-or some one else's-sisters. all
arrayed in the most fetching" gowns
that the fair coed has been able to evolve
amid the exacrons of college work.
The field day was ali interclass one, but
the presence of class spirit was c0nSpicu-
Gus by Its absence, ana when the events
were all run off the reporters and class
presidents were left alone to count up the
points and learn which class had really
won the pennant
The freshmen won il, however, their
athletes having scored 45 points against
the sophomores. The upper classmen had
but Scant recognition, and though they
have in their ranks some OF the best ath-
letes of the university these were entered
in none of the events.
C. R.. alias Brick" Morse. the all
around athlete of Berkeley, did his best for
the honOrs of the seniors, winning 10
points for them. but as he had only one
assistant-E. w. Burr, who entered for
only one event-he was unable To win the
pennant for the class of '94.
The juniors scored 80 points. A. w.
North, the class president, won 10 points
for them. North is little man, but full
of grit and determination.
OF the freshmen, j. w. Scoggins most
distinguished himself. and gives promise
of developing into the finest sprinter the
University of California ever had. The
Berkeley boys have felt rather blue all the
fall over the loss of Ed Mays. their cham
pion sprinter for five years. but yesterday
they decided they had a man who, with
proper care and conscientious training.
may make an equal, if not superior
sprinter to Mays. ScoggiDs is a Colusa
County boy, who graduated last spring
from the Berkeley High School. All
through his High School course he claimed
to be and enjoyed the reputation of being
"a sprinter, but he never entered In field

He entered for five races yesterday and

being able to overtake or pass him. Alto
gether he is the most promising man tha
Berkeley Club has obtained in years, and
wise training and perseverance, may make
him at least coast record-holdcr.
Other promising freshmen are Miller, as
a 220-yard hurdler, and Edgrew as a snot-
putter and hammer-thrower. The held
day events were completed by p NJ, and
the 2000 or more spectators at once turned
their attention to the football practice
game On the campus under Coach Heffel-
finger. A hard and lively game was
played for an hour, the second eleven,
strengthened by the big coscher, having
somewhat the advantage of the varsity
team
