OF the Trophy

The fourth annual field day OF the South
ern California Intercollegiate association,
at Athletic park yesterday, was the most
successful In the history of the oreaniza-
ton. Every event was closely contested,
and, with the exception of one foul in
running race, there was not the slightes
hitch in the program. Pomona came out
first, making three out of four firsts since
the association was organized,with Chaffey
second and the University of Southern CAL
ifornia third. Owing to the fire, which de.
stroyed the college building, some time
ago, and put stop to training, Occidental
was not represented.
Long before the hour announced for the
commencement of the sport, crowds of col
lege lads and lassies took up the march, or
rather ride for Athletic park. All wore
their distinctive coIors, crimson for Uni
versity of Southern California, olive green
and gold for Chaffey, peacock blue and
white for Pomona, and black and gold for
Occidental. Men and women were alike
armed with tin horns. and as the various
parties passed each other the college yells
were given, all joining in the grand chorus.
When the sports commenced the grand
stand presented brilliant spectacle. Al
most every seat was occupied, the greater
portion of the audience being ladies. The
college bands we're out in force, and what
was lacking in melody was made up in
noise. Everybody was out for good
time, and they had it. A feature of the
show was Chaffey's mammoth horn, at
least twenty feet long. which was brought
s~.k- III .t.<., &C -
OIL an event. Pomona was represented by
the largest delegation, and the way they
''rooted" for their champions was simply
out of sight. There was nothing half
hearted about the Pomonans, and when
the blue and white showed up as winner
they almost raised the roof off the grand
stand. Chafrey was not far behind, and
made up in enthusiasm what they lacked
in numbers. The University of Southern
California did not get as many opportuni-
ties to yell as the others, but when it did
come their way they were distinctly in it.
Although the hour for the commence
ment of the sports had not been announced,
it was past before the first event was
called. The officers in charge were Grand
Marshal William Edgar Mckee (U. S. C.),
assisted by Marshals Charles II. Ward (P.
C.) and D. c. Mueller. The referee was A.
c. Way, and the field judges were C. P.
Lyndall. Theodore Bessing and S. r. Lang
worthy. The judges at the finish were G.
Chase. H. Jones Bateman and George Bee
bee. The timer was j. W. Of, and the
starter for the races Paul E. Flammer.
Sherman DAY was the official scorer,
George P. Byram 20. C.) announcer, and
H. L. Martin Gu. S. c. clerk of tine course.
The arrangements we're perfect and the
course was at all times kept clear of every
body but the contestants, officers and
members OF the press.
