The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-30

Town politics are becoming interesting
as the time for the nomination of the city
officers draws near. At least twenty men
have announced themselves as candidates
for Town Trustees, of whom there are
seven. Three men are in the field for
Town Clerk, and a score or more are aim.
ing at positions on the School Board.
1t has been presaged that there will be
hot fight before the School Board is
elected, for the people are determined to
improve the public school system, and de-
sire to have only the most prominent and
reliable citizens to perform the duties that
fall to those officers. The Non-Partisans
have strong foothold, and in combination
with the Independent Taxpayers will
probably give the two old parties hard
rub when election day comes.
U. C. Athletic Events.
The neutrality-suspicious. annual field
day games will be played this afternoon at
o'clock on the university cinder track
All the events will be from scratch. The
entries from each class are evenly divided
and is difficult to say which side will win
the honors of the day.
1t is expected that several q. G. records
will be broken, and, possibly, a few coast rec
ords smashed.
In the track events there have been four
entries in the 100-yard dash, four in the
220-yard dash, five in the $780, three in the
120-yard hurdles, five in the 220 hurdles,
five in the 440-yard dash ana four in the
mile run.
There will be 75-yard hurdle race, open
TO all U. G. men. This will be the only
open event of the day.
In the field events four entries have been
made in the broad Jump, four in the pole
vault, six in the high jump, six in the Shot
put and six in the hammer throw. 1t is
expected that Edgren, the holder of the q.
G. record for the hammer throw-123 feet
inches, will surpass his previous efforts.
His record is within three inches of the
worlds record, held by Hickok of Yale.
While the field day is in progress, across
the fence, on the baseball diamond, will
be game between the Varsity nine and
the Olympics.
