on single sheet of board with each of
the official college colors in the corner.
Almost every afternoon at Athletic
Park may be seen some of the studious
chaps, alter the study periods are over,
training and toi,ing away at the event
for which they are entered, holding the
highest hope that they will be the win
ming team. 1t is interesting see the pro-
found look on the countenances of the
different captains as their men train for
the different events.
f. II. Smith, '9S, captain OF the Pomona
team, while at tlie park last Saturday,
PACED a mile on a bicycle in :2l. Charles
Carver, '97, of University Of Southern Cali
fornia tossed the sixteen pound hammer
some ninety odd feet. 1t is certainly Il
true and sure sign that the amateur ath-
letes in the colleges of Southern California
are being rapidly brought to high
standard OF excellence
Harry Lee Martin, 96, captain OF the
University OF Southern California team
is already laying considerable claim to
the intercollegiate cup. He, too, is train

race, and between him and Smith, '9S. cap
tain of the Pomona team, there promises
to he some lively yelling on both sides
when they cross the tape neck and neck
Elmer +. Elliott, 9s, holds the record
for the best ll-round athlete in the team.
In all the events which he entered on the
preliminary field day" he made splen-
did records. The University of Southern
California places its greatest hopes in him
10 win in the i40-yard dash
H. NJ. Seely. 90, who enters the 100
yard dash with the vim OF Pescador in
his celebrated races is by no means a
slow chap, he being of splendid build. 6
feet inches in height and 1866 pounds in
weight.
: Chester Robinson, 80, being of medium
height and weight, is built Just about
right for the fifty yard dash. His advant-
age is in the start which he takes, leav-
ing the other contestants to follow.
Ray Abrams, '9s, is also for the same
event as Charles Robinson
John ID. Punk, 9s. is Martin 5 comrade
and his constituents are laying their great
est hopes in his winning the one mile

Wilford c. Twiss, '95, is booked for one
OF the most difficult and tempting of the
races-the mile walk-and all the students
in L. 5. c. regard him as a sure winner
in reeling off the mile walk in less than
S:ll.
Charles Carver '97, the giant of the
team, being six feet four inches in height
and l95 pounds in weight, is appropri-
ately entered for tossing the sixteen

seven feet in diameter and with simple

did record for the high jump, being me-
dium in height and weight
