Four New Men From South
ern California Will Enter
Next Month.
ATHLETES WANT GROUNDS.
1t Will Then Be Possible TO Hold All
the Games Within an
Enclosure.

BERKELEY, CAL, July 21.-"Track
athletics will be on the boom next term"
said Captain Everett Brown of the Uni
versity of California track team to-day.
"a large part of my vacation has been
spent in looking for and picking out good
men who intend to enter, and urging them
to keep in condition, so as to be ready for
the track as soon as they enter college.
We have four young cracks who will be
mere IN August, and, together with the
men we have now, I believe that we can
make much more creditable showing in
the spring meet with Stanford than in the
last intercollegiate.
"These four men to whom / refer are
Broughton of Santa Barbara, rattling
good 220-yard man; McNab of Riverside,
an all-round crack; Cutter of San Jacinto,
pole-vaulter with record now of 10 feet
2 inches, and Birch of Santa Barbara, a
gprinter who can now shave :10%.
''Ot course we will be at somewhat of q
disadvantage in the matter of training
during the fall season on account of the
absorbing interest taken in football, and
because of the bad weather in winter, but
nevertheless we Will try to get our muscles
into trim by spring. II will be our single
aim to defeat Stanford in the next inter
collegiate and regain our long held pres
tige over them on the track. They are a
wldeawake lot of fellows down al Palo
Alto and will leave no stones in their path
to defeat US, but we will try to be equal to
the occasion. 1 can safely say that al
though we now have something like $500
in the treasury for an Eastern trip we will
not cross the Rockies until we have de-
feated Stanford again and beaten them
badly.
what we need most of all now is new
I1ph sod 80 &1,aD De-
Regents last fall. We must have our
grounds within an enclosure, so as to
charge admission to the grounds and thus
add Importance to our meets, as well as
increasing our treasury.
''If our plans are carried out as we have
suggested them, within this enclosure will
be the running-track, with a straightaway
baseball diamond, football field and tennis
courts, with such grand stands and accom-
modatIon houses as are necessary. We
must have new track. All intend work
ing for it. f"
