Then up and spake big Aleck Dowd
you'll first take drink with Mixer"
"Nay, nay, Pauline" in no way cowed,
Said the Yale YOUTH careless like.
Then Dowd, advancing pulled his gun
And remarked in sneering tones
"You'll take a drink, or there'll be fun.
Likewise some blood and groans."
AS sudden as the lightning's flash
Our youth worked the elbow charm;
The pistol flew through mirror, crash
And Dowd had broken arm
Now the other toughs on our athlete closed,
When shanks got touchdown thud;
Next a clever knee was interposed
And Billings threw up blood.
Deep Guch Mike had his unkempt head
Cross-split on stone spittoon
While Sandy Grant was put 10 bed
Center-rushed to deadly swoon.
Red Thompson with wild, scared look,
Made tracks for passing car;
And the lawyer chap our hero look
And threw him over the bar!
"How d ye do it?' asked Barkeep Pete,
And his eyes wore watery CLEAN.
Said the student: "They were easy meat.
I've played on our football team"

The college athlete has his innings
now and the bulk of the talk in the
world of sport is the intercollegiate
Field Day, which will be held on Wash
ington' Birthday, the 22d of February
1t wouldn't surprise the knowing ones
at all to see Athletic Park on that great
day filed with the sort of crowd that
came to see the big football games during
the holidays, and also to see the crowd
filled with the sort of enthusiasm that
filled the air with hats and handkerchiefs
and zipl boom ah's
On the intercollegiate Field Day olean,
legitimate, healthful sport finds its high
est level. No other event of the season
brings out a crowd so thoroughly bent
on enjoyment. No other event offers SO
much to enjoy.
this city is intended to be the greatest
athletic event of the year. As the dav
draws nearer each captain thinks alike
with a look OF utter confidence that his
team will have the honor of carving
away the beautiful cup which is now ex2
hlbited in the windows OF Stoll q Thayer
on South Spring street. The cup is a very
handsome and elaborate affair. On the
front is engraved "Intercolegiate Ath-
letic Association, April 15, 1898 that be-
ing the date OF the first tield-day of the
association. Pomona succeeded in cap
turing it that first year. The next field-a
day, which was held on the 22d of Feb
ruary, 1894, resulted in a tie between DC
cidental and Pomona colleges, and the
cup is being held half a year by each
team.
The medals are now on exhibition in
Montgomery Bros. window, on North
Spring street. They are in two colors of
gold and a beautiful monogram is worked
with different colors of enamel containing
the initials II. G. A. A.. There is a
medal for each event, all OF them being
the same in size and value.
The photographs of the different teams
will soon be on exhibition in the differ
ent show windows and from the aspect of
the men in the photos q person would
naturally coincide it is hard to tell which
team is to have the cup.

Following are a few of the records made
last year by the college boys when the
teams We're not under the supervision of
professional trainers, and consequently
this year, as nearly all the teams have
their own trainers, they will no doubt sue
ceed in lowering their former records
and also the Coast records.

The friendly rivalry between the college
teams is now beginning to manifest
ITSELF as the teams are all so evenly
matched, and each captain is sure his
team is going tc ,'take everything in
sight s'it,
". +. Parker, captain OF the Occidental
team, claims, when asked about the pros
poets for his team winning, that he ieels
very confident OF success. He spoke in a
very conservative vein, and evidently be-
licvcs shat nothing is to be gained by
boasting. An inquiry into the personnel
OF the team leads to the belief that each
member will, without exception, make an
excellent showing on next Friday. Cap
tain Parkers team is as follows
A. e. Bell, '05--Height #. 10 in,
weight 160 lbs; entered for the pole vault,
which he won last year, making the rec
ord of it. in. A few days ago he
strained his back while training, having
exceeded his former record, and if able
the captain claims that he will make an.
excellent showing. He is the best all
around athlete on the team.
