STANFORD VS.. BERKELEY,
Palo Alto Expects to Triumph
in the Intercollegiate
Contest.
Athletes Who Will Wear the Cardinal
and the Records They Have
Made.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
nine will cross bats for the first intercol-
legiate game of the season with Berkeley.
The teams will be closely matched, and
unfortunately for Stanford several of her
players are in poor condition. 1t is hoped
that all will be ready for hard ball-playing
when they go against Berkeley, for the
latter showed up very strongly in the
recent game with Santa Clara. Captain
McLain believes his team will prove vic
torious in the series of games. but hardly
counts on winning all three contests.
AS the day for the intercollegiate field
meet draws nearer Stanford is casting
about for means of estimating her strength
as compared with that of Berkeley. Here
tofore U. G. has proven victorious by a
considerable margin in points, but each
year this margin has been made smaller.
This season Berkeley claims to have the
strongest aggregation of athletes she
ever sent out, and yet the Stanford men
feel that the contest will result in bring
ing the two teams to very near even terms.
Stanford has not as many athletes as has
Berkeley for each event, but all she has
are good and will give their contestants a
hard struggle. It will be one of the most
interesting field meets ever held on this
coast and Berkeley will have to fight hard
for every point.
In the 1O0-yard dash Stanford will rrob-
ably enter three men-Bernhard '96 Brun-
ton '99, and Holbrook '97. The first two
can run inside of 10 2-5 seconds if in good
form and the latter will get within fifth
of a second of that mark. In the 220-yard
dash Bernhard will make Berkeley's first
man hustle. In the 440-yard dash Brun-
ton will disappoint his admirers if he fails
to go inside of 81 seconds; while Colliver
'96, and others will be able to make good
tries for the other places. The half mile
will be weak event from Stanford. She
no longer possesses Copeland, who made
it in ! 80 flat.
Berkeley will probably get first in the
hurdles, but Stanford has reason to ex-
pect points in other places if Reynolds '96,
Dole '9S. and Pope 81 work, up to their
averages. Reynolds has made the 30
yard hurdle in q 2-5 and the 120 yards in
Is 3-5. He is running better now than
ever before. Dole Is improving wonder
fully in the hurdles and in the recent
trials has pushed Reynolds hard for first
place.
At the pole vault Dole will easily get
first and will probably raise the coast
record about three inches. Brunton should
make good third.
The broad jump is doubtful, though
Brunton and Toom bs. '96. both cover over
twenty feet of space in their trials. Stan
ford comedies first place in the high jump,
but will contest the other places.
Dave Brown should win the mile
handilv for the cardinal, and Smith, who
will probably run with him, has a show
for second unless Browns brother enters
for Berkeley.
If Edgren enters Berkeley will get first
in the hammer throw, but Stanford, wl'h
Wilbur 99, Fickert '9S and Hazard '96,
all throwing over 125 feet should get the
other places.
Barring accident the shot-put is Stan
ford event. Wilbur should toss the sphere
about 40 feet inches if in form.
