years old, and we have :in attendance at
the present time 563 students in the main

BERKELEY, CAL, May 1-Berkeley's
athletes are all ready for to-morrow's con-
tests, and after a week at the training
than was done last Saturday against Stan
ford.
In to-morrow's games it will be the
University of California against the rest
OF the State, and interest in athletics of
track and field has never been at higher
pitch in Berkeley than it is now. An
other consideration that adds to the inter-
est in to-morrow's field-day is the results
OF the meet will decide what athletes will
represent the University of California in
the East.
AT least one coast record will be beaten
tomorrow, unless all signs fail. r. w.
Edgren, U. G. '95 is regarded as certain to
throw the hammer far beyond the record.
In practice Edgren has reached 148 feet
inches, ana if he repeats the performance
tomorrow he win for California the
worlds record in that event.
The University of California has another
winner, both tomorrow and in the East,
in Torrey, the hurdler, who did the DO
yard hurdle last Saturday in 26 seconds,
and who Is expected to at least equal that
time tomorrow.
In the entries for the feld-day seventeen
athletic organizations are represented.
This is expected TO result in swelling the
attendance beyond that of any similar af-
fair ever held on the coast, for each club,
college or association has its supporters
who will be present to watch and encour-
age their favorites. As the gate receipts
of the day are to be devoted to meeting
the expenses of sending a University OF
California team East, this prospect of a
large crowd is one that the Berkeley ath-
letic managers view with no small pleasure

day, are looked upon as quite likely to

made with any confidence owing to the
possibility of surprises" where there are
so many entries.

are strong and heavy athletes, and if they
are pullsG over the line 1t will not be by a
team OF lightweignts. The Olympic Club
tug-of-war team is reported to be very
strong one, and those who have the best
opportunities for Judging think that the
final issue will be between the University
Club and the Olympic Club.
There are fifteen events altogether on
the programme. Owing to the large num-

the time of commencement, and the man.

made promptly at that time.
