| PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 1S.-This
afternoon the crack athletic teams of the
universities of California and Pennsylvania
met in dual championship games. DR..
Beverly Cole sported the blue and gold in
the audience, while the Governor, Mayor
and other Pennsylvania notables waved
the blue and red. The California bear and
the Pennsylvania Quaker tussled for two
hours, and, though neither overthrew the
other, the bear had the better of the con-
fict. Last night it rained heavily, this
morning the sky was threatening, but this
afternoon the sun peeped out smilingly
upon the Californians. The games were
held upon the new athletic grounds of the
niversity-Franklin field.
The newness of the track ana the rain
! detracted from it, and the records were
! otherwise splendid. When the U. c. team
first came East Pennsylvania conceded
them one event out of fourteen in the duel.
After the Princeton victory they conceded
them possible four. The Californians
claimed nothing, but promised to do their
best There were fourteen events. A first
place counted one. The Californians hav-
ing no vaulter, could only contest for
thirteen points. They won seven, and
they had eleven men to Pennsylvania
twenty five.
The 100-yard dash was the first event.
The Pennsylvania men secured the fastest
starts. Barnes Gu. CO. passed Scoggins Gu.

The 220-yard dash was grand race from
start to finish. Barnes and Scoggins, the
California pair, were beaten at the start
and, by the by, the Fasteners got the
start OF the Western men every time-but
they had plenty of room in which to over
haul the Pennsylvania men, and they did
it. Barnes. who is running like little
demon, won in % 3-5 5sec.-remarkably fast
time for such a slow curved track. This
breaks the q. c. record. Scoggius was a

Osgood, Pennsylvania, led off the bicycle
race in fine style, Dozier (U. CO. following,
but on the third lap the Californian was

throw with 116 feet from Cressinger of
Pennsylvania. Score: Pennsylvania Z,

There was now but one event, the 44O-
yard dash, and upon that depended the
day. Barnes was too sick to run, Koch
| had cold, and then his record was only
81 LIS seconds, while Sterrett of Pennsyl-
vania had run in so 3-5 seconds. The
Quakers, sure of the race, were ready to
back Sterrett with $500. Koch went up on
the scratch, simply saying that he would
try to do his best. Sterrett led by ten
yards at the end of the first furlong. Then
Koch forged ahead, taking the lead fifty
yards from home, winning as he pleased in
So As seconds. Score: Pennsylvania Z,
University of California 7.
