The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-05-11

option of the 18th. The opposing team
will be made up by the Denver Athletic
Club from its own members and picked
athletes from the Colorado University.
There will be twelve events, the 220-yard
hurdle race and the mile run being elm
mated from the regular programme. Col
orado possesses no 220-yard hurdlers, and
the altitude-5000 feet--has never yet per-
mitted a man to run mile and live.
The games with the Chicago Athletic
Club occur on June 10, although Califor-
MIA again has the option-this time for
the 18th. The Chicago team is composed
of college men from the middle West,
strengthened by Turner. the great ex-
Princeton half-miler.
June 10 the California team will contest
either with the University of Wisconsin at
Madison or the University of Illinois at
Champlain. Illinois won the middle West
championship of 1894, while Wisconsin
has the strongest team for 1895.
June the Michigan boys want to try
conclusions at Ann Arbor with the coast
team. Here there is an option of the 5th,
which will probably be taken.
The Western collegiate games will be
held in Chicago June l. The California
team, having been admitted to the associa-
ton may compete; if not Syracuse Uni
versity wants games May 90.
The great Eastern intercollegiate, the
Mott Haven games, occur in New York,
May %, with trial heats the oath. No
Westert college, save Michigan, has ever
competed in these games and the Univer-
sity of California hopes to at least upset
some of the Eastern calculations. Yale or
the University of Pennsylvania seems
likely to win.
May IS the California team tackles the
great team of the University of Pennsyl-
vania in Philadelphia.
Only first places will then count. How
many can California hope for against
Ramsdell, Orion, Jarvis, Bucholtz, Leslie
and Knipe?
We have now gone far enough backward
to reach the first games those with Prince
ton, Saturday morning, May IL. Princeton
is an historic old college, capable of pro-
ducing ''fine old gentlemen" and certainly
possessing many fine young ones.
The campus is beautiful and so are the
athletic grounds. There is three-lap Gin
der track, banked for the bicycle with
12O-yard straightway, though the high
hurdles are run on grass course.
The weather here is as charming as a
spring day at Berkeley, and the water is
superior to the Berkeley water. Hence, l
see nothing save the fatigue incident to
travelling across the continent in five DAYS
to detract from the performance of the Cal
ifornia team.
The sprinters, murders and jumpers will
probably suffer the most from this.
Hence, l expect Scoggins and Barnes to
be defeated in the sprints, and Dyer and
Torrey to fall in the hurdles Patterson
should win the jump, despite the journey.
The method of scoring will be five points
for first places, and three for seconds.
1t is not to be expected that the games
will draw very largely, since they have to
be held in the morning, and since Western
records are doubted here. ALI the colleges
speak highly in praise of the energy dis
played by the university in attempting
such trip, and of the all-around ability OF
the team. There is general desire to see
Koch and Edgren perform.
After the games to-day the team to meet
the U. c. was chosen. There are twenty
three in the team. Still the eleven from
the California seem to have sure winners in
the quarter and half mile runs. the walk,
