II.-Stanfords track team is going East
at least that is what Track Manager Brown
and Captain George Toombs say. Already
plans have been made which promise
financial success and application has been
made for entry in the Western intercol-
legiate championship meet which takes
place in Chicago on June 6. Not all the
men will go, but eight prize-winners have
been selected whom, it is believed, stand
good chance of winning great victory for
Stanford. Those selected are Brunton,
Bernhard, Brown, Dole, Reynolds, Will
bur, Toombs (captain) and either Frazier,
Jack, Hazard or Fickert, as may be de-
cided hereafter by their individual work.
with this aggregation" said Manager
Brown, "pm willing TO go against any
like number of men from any college. OF
course I wouldn't expect victory steadily,
but all the contests would be exciting and
we wouldn't be outclassed. With the
Western intercollegiate Association, of
which Berkeley is now champion, 1 feel
certain we stand a good show of winning.
We mean to make good try"
The whole scheme has been kept very
quiet up to this time, as it was uncertain
just what could be done. After Stanford's
many enthusiasts thought than Stanford
could pick out eight or ten men who could
win most anything and now they are
willing to help the boys show what they
can do. Three weeks yet remain before
the team will leave and all the men will
go into training at once. Captain Toombs
says that they will be all the better for
their lay-off, and that they are in fair con-
dition now was shown by individual per-
formances during the San Jose carnival.
Coaches and rubbers will be obtained at
once and the training-table started. The
estimated cost of the trip will be S11Oo.
Ten or twelve days will be occupied by the
team in its tour and it will enter but the
one meet
The scheme which is to furnish the
wherewithal for this venture is due to
Messrs. Hanscom and Colliver, students,
who are issuing the senior classbook.
Already they have orders enough to pay
the expenses of their undertaking, and as
the sale of the volume promised to be very
large they generously offered to divide
evenly with the track team all volumes
sold over and above those necessary to pay
expenses. The sale is expected to reach
at least 500 copies, which would mean be-
tween $500 and $500 to the team. The re-
naming amount will be made up by the
men themselves or through plans which
are now being arranged
The senior classbook is one of the most
elaborate pieces of work ever attempted
by Western university. 1t is got up in
large album style, strongly bound in an
engraved cover, with the senior class
colors-straw, gold and cardinal. The
book is devoted entirely to photographers
of interest to Stanford University. 1t is
to be souvenir of this institution, and
will contain individual photographers of
the Stanford family, the university faculty
members, of every member of the senior
class, large group engravings of the
Varsity and class football, baseball and
track teams, and between fifty and sew
enty-five views of the campus including
views of the quadrangle, exterior and in
terror of buildings, Palo Alto, residences
(including Mrs. Stanford's mansion), fra
ternity houses, athletic grounds and snap
shots; also views taken after and during
the recent celebration when the victory in
the great Stamford case was decided.
The Junior Class Annual = the third
book of its kind issued from this univer-
sity-appeared to-day and nearly 400 copies
were at once disposed of. There has been
feeling of general anxiety on the part of
the students, for no one knows that he
may not be bit in the 'joshes" and
"grinds," and no one can tell just how
severely the sting may affect him. 1t is
safe to say the "grinds" in the present
volume will cause no hard feeling; none
show the slightest touch of malice, but all
are good-natured and recognized as peril
nent.
This annual, issued by the class OF '97 is
superior to any of its predecessors in many
respects. The design on the cover is taste
ful and unique; the binding itself is in
white, gold and cardinal. One of the most
striking features of the whole work is the
amount and the excellence of the illustra-
tions-an the work of Stanford artists and
chiefly from the class talent. r. K. Gull
yer 97, now of The CALL staff, was in
charge of the art work, and his talent is
proved by some of the finest pieces in the
volume. The design of the cover is his
creation. He was assisted by Messrs.
Allen, Mccartney, Johnson, Ely and
Hyde and by the Misses Holly and Nor
ton. Certainly the art work is far superior
to anything ever issued here. There are
no less than three-score full-page engrav-
ings and more than hundred half-page
small cuts.
There are pictures Of the board of ed
fto-s, OF nine faculty members, of most of
the fraternities athletic team and student
organizations, of Stanfords debaters,
literary societies and local scenes from
photographers. Then there are elaborate
foot pieces and head pieces, pen
and-ink sketches ad infinitum. In ton
ing none of the work surpasses Miss
Hollv's, while Miss Morton's efforts in
the Decadent style and following Boards
Iey's innovation are remarkably good.
Dane Coolidge 98 took the prize for the
best short story, while Irving OutcaIt '96
has the prize poem.
The QUAD" is printed on the highest
grade glazed book paper and contains
nearly 300 pages.
