The herald., 1895-02-10

All the talk in the local world OF sport
is of events to come. There is nothing
going on now, excepting of course, the
Century run OF the East Side Cycle Club
which takes place today and there has
been nothing of note save the Sunday
ball games for several weeks.
The intercollegiate field day is really
the next big event in prospect. That it
will be big event will go without the
saying so.
The college boys are up to it again.
The increasing popularity of the annual
intercollegiate field day has filled them
to a surprising degree with the strongest
zeal and enthusiasm to make their
third annual field day surprising sue
cess" as regards the breaking of coast
records and friendly college rivalry.
The Southern California 1ntercolle
giate Athletic Association was organized
in the spring of 1893, in Los Angeles, by
two representatives, from each college,
Pomona college, Claremont; Chaffey col
lege, Ontario; Baptist college, Occidental
college and the University Of Southern
Los Angeles. R. S. Day of Pomona was
elected president for 1893
The object of the formation of such an
association was the furtherance of anna
teur athletic sports in colleges of South
ern California. As competition prize
the association decided on handsome
and beautifully engraved solid silver cup.
The first field day was held at Athletic
Park on April Is, 1893. Pomona college
captured the cup.
For some reason the Baptist college
withdrew from the association, leaving
the four aforementioned colleges to carry
on the field day. At its next meeting
the delegates elected R. G. Van Cleve of
the U. S. G. as president for 1894.
Some of the events of the previous
field day-baseball, throw, hop-step-and
jump and sixteen pound hammer throw
were dropped and in their place were
put the 220-yard dash, fifty yard dash,
one-half-mile bicycle race and twelve
pound hammer throw. Again on Feb
ruary %, 1894, the four colleges came to-
ing of college colors and pennants and
blowing of horns and the good, old IA
miliar college yells at the Los Angeles
Athletic Park. 1t was a success tinan-
cially as well as in record breaking, for,
without exception, all the previous rec
ords were sent to smash.
This second field day resulted in a tie
between Occidental college, Los Angeles,
Pomona and Claremont colleges. The
cup being held by Occidental for six
months and by Pomona until the coming
field day decides its ownership.
Again on December Sd the delegates
from the different colleges met at Los An
geles and elected for 1s94-5 Charles H.
Ward, Pomona, as president of the asso-
citation. The event to be dropped on this
coming feld-day is the one-half- mile
bicycle race, and in its place is put the
two-mile bicycle.
This tield-day promises to be more sue
cessful than any previous event as nearly
all the teams have professional trainers.
The enthusiasm and friendly rivalry is

As captain of the Occidental team W.
E. Parker, '95, was unanimously elected,
and under his direction the team has
Sworn by the heavens" to bring that
cup home and place it on the center table
in the college parlor. A good deal of ex-
penditure has been made on the track
under the management of a member of
the faculty, j. B. Newell of Stanford
University.
On Saturday, February I'd, Occidental
held its preliminary field-day to decide
who was to represent them in the differ
ent events on the 22d. The result shows
as follows:
Fifty-yard dash, W. A. Edwards; 100
yard dash, Alphonso Bell, 80; 300 mile
dash, W. A. Edwards; 440-yard dash, A.
Dlworth; one-mile run, L. Dilworth; one
mile walk, Miller; hammer throw, W.
vault A. Bell; two-miille bicycle, J. Dor
man; one-mile bicycle, j. Dorman.
The team and college still have their
old colors, black and gold, and their rous-
ing yell, Tamerack! Tamerack! Zip
Boom! Bah Lacra Lacra Ha! Ha Ha
Oc-ci-den tai Zip! Boom Bah! All thro'
their training they evidence a greater de-
termination to win the cup than ever be-
fore.
Harry Lee Martin was unanimously
elected captain of the U. S. c. team.
&c tod hx-o crala
team. This is greatly due to the efficient
management in which their trainer and
captain has directed them. The college
has gone to great expense in fitting up a
beautiful and substantial four-lap track.
They have almost perfect equipments for
training. In their gymnasium are tub
and shower baths, trainers couches and
dressers. The boys are continually train
ing, and, with that steady determination,
vow that they will take the cup. On Jan
nary 26th, their preliminary field day
was held, and the records made on that
day prove that there will be a spirited
contest. And from these results Captain
Martin has .spurred them to greater eff
forts. Captain Martin represents the col
lege in one of the bicycle events.
The team and college are still '.solid'
