The San Francisco call., 1896-03-20

IL
grams received last night from Yale and
Princeton have created considerable stir
in university athletic circles and the par
ticularly favorable word from Princeton
inspired feelings of encouragement un-
precedented this year. Captain Merwin
said this evening: 1--WE are indeed greatly
encouraged at the prospects for another
trip East. The principal question now re-
naming unsoived is that OF finances. We
are certain of what we can do on the track
and field, judging partly from our last
years work and from what our men are
doing now. What we now want is to
know that the money to pay our ex-
penses will be forthcoming from the con-
tests in which we are to engage. We will
probably meet Yale and Princeton on
Manhattan field if we arrange for contests
with them. Should we go East we will
leave Berkeley about Nav g."
