TRACK ATHLETICS.
A Championship Field-Day
Next Saturday.
Two Classes at the State University
Will Decide Their Rivalry
on the Track.

Now that the season for track athletics
has fairly begun, preliminary field days are
being held in preparation for the great in
tercollegiate contest that is 10 be held in this
city on April %.
The Stanford athletes held their field day
two weeks ago, but they would not give out
the times made, as they said that the track
was too slushy and that the records would
not show what the boys could really DO
The work of the Stanford athletes at the
Olympic games last Saturday showed that
they have some good material and they will
give the Berkeley boys very close rub at
the championship games next month.
On Saturday the sophOm6res and fresh
men will hold field day to decide the SUI
periority of the classes in athletics. This
idea of contesting on the track instead of
having the oldtime rusbes is decidedly mer-
itorious. and The class Of '95 deserves great
praise for having originated il. In the
rushes Of former years many men were
injured and good athletes were often kept
out of field days on account Of sDrained
ankles BY the new arrangement not only
is the question of injury set aside but the
class rivalry furnishes an excellent feeder
for the university athletic team.
The field day on Saturday promises to be
very close ana exciting and the chances for
winning are about equal. There will be
large audience present, and it is expected
That thu grand stand will once more
echo with the class yells just as IL used to
do. Arrangements have been made so that
the supporters of each class will be seated
together thus concentrating the enthusiasm
OF the classes
All the events except two will be closed
TO members Of the classes, but these two
will be very exciting ones. In the open
quarter-miie run PhebY and Mays will be
matched against each other, and a very fast
race Is expected
The games will commence at / 80 p. NJ,
