URBANA, ILL, June THE champion
track team of the University of California
entered its fourth dual meet at o'clock at
Champaign this afternoon, and at 5 o'clock
had added another victory to its list, be-
sides placing three new college records
| and one worlds record upon its tablet. AS
its opponents, the University of Illinois,
had held the Middle West championship,
the California bear will henceforth be held
in great honor among the Suckers, Hoo
siers, Badgers and other Western people.
The day was bright and sunny, the men
were well rested, and the track, half-mile
trotting track, was in fine condition.
Scoggins, who has been steadily regain
ing his last years condition, ran in fault
less form in both sprints. He was matched
against Billiard who ran away from him at
Chicago Saturday, and is certainly very
fast man, but to-day Scoggins turned the
tables. In the 1OO-yard dash both left the
mark together and kept pace to the 60-yard
mark, where the Californian began to
| draw away, increasing the gap until it had
widened into two yards at the finish.
There was much comparing of watches,
and the time was finally announced as 10
seconds. This breaks the q. c. record of
10 1-5 jointly held by Scoggins and Mays,
and equals the American intercollegiate
record. Scoggins had made the same time
| last year under Reliance colors, but it was
| never accepted owing to technicality.
| The 220-yard dash was beautiful race,
| and Scoggins would again have made even
| time but for an error made by the judges
in placing the tape on the wrong finish
post. Billiard led for the first 100 yards,
but then the Californian ran away from
him, finishing with a terrific burst of
| speed, four yards to the front. The course
was eight yards short, but still the time,
Il 2-5 seconds, was very fast. Billiard, the
| second man, had run in % 2-5 at Chicago
Barnes easily won the quarter for Cali
| fornia in 81 seconds. His time was caught
thirty yards from home at 46 seconds, but
| he walked in, the heart-breaking pace hav-
ing overcome his opponents. Captain
Koch led the half-mile procession by
twenty five yards. If he had been rushed
another record would have been gone.
Bradley secured poor second in the mile.
His feet are so blistered that he cannot be
counted on. Merwin won the walk as he
pleased in minutes so seconds.
Torrey did not enter the 100 yards
hurdle race. Woolsey fell at the first
hurdle, SO Dyer of California was left to
fight it out with Captain Clark of Illinois,
and more reliable man could not have
! been chosen. For the first five hurdles the
men were even. Then Dyer gained the
lead. The finish reminded one of the time
that Walt Henry broke the worlds record
at the Olympic grounds in 1892 by one
grand burst of speed. The timers all
agreed upon the time, Is 3-5 seconds. This
breaks the intercollegiate record and it is
the worlds record held by Stephen Chase.
Dyer only tipped one hurdle.
| The 900 yards hurdle race was a pretty
contest, Torrey, Dyer and Captain Clark
| punching together until the last fifty
yards, where the Californian drew away.
Torrey won from Dyer by five feet; time,
rs Is seconds, breaking his own U. G.
record by one-fifth of a second. The field
was in no condition, or else there might
| have been some more records.
| Koch secured second in the shot bv SO
| feet 515 inches. Dozier was second with 5
| feet inches in the high jump. The pole
| vault went by default to Illinois. Wool
| sey and Dozier took both places in the
! broad jump with 20 feet, and Edgren won
| the hammer throw with 123 feet. Dozier's
high jumping was very fine considering
that his side run was up hill. Captain
| Clark, the winner, with 6 feet record,
only cleared feet inches.
Dozier, with his usual hard luck, strained
a tendon so that his broad jumping was
done upon pure grit. Edgrens work was
especially fine considering that he had
been confined to his room for the past
week with an attack of poisoning.
