The San Francisco call., 1896-04-26

remarkable Dickie and Chick did not do
what was expected of them, although Dickie
ran the better of the two. Hupp, as usual, did
not show up, and we missed him, for he has
been running in good form lately. cannot
say, however, that he could have beaten the
two Stanford stars.
In the 44O-yard run Brunton again came to
the front with Magee running hard for second.
In this race as in the others that Stanford men
won a very disagreeable element showed itself.
Whatever be the condition under which a man
wins his race he should at all times be q gen.
tleman. There is code of athletic decorum
which should always be observed in a contest
Laughing and jeering at the man behind you
is anything but good form. am sorry to have
noted that it was done this intercollegiate
meet.
The SSo-yard run was won handily by Car
rol in min Is sec., but he has done con-
siderably better in his trials and must have
had q few seconds at least up his sleeve.
The mile run is associated with the man who
won it, Dave Brown, the coast record holder
If anything be true of this Stanford man it is
that he is tricky runner, in the proper sense,
however The time, min At Sec, is not fast
for him, as on hot day and with otherwise
favorable conditions he should cover the dis.
tance in min. 80 sec.
Jackson, who came in third for California.
while runner of good form, is as yet little
too young and inexperienced TO do his best
work. there is in him the making of an excel
lent miller.
The mile walk went to Merwin in slow time.
He simply trailed his men until the last lap,
waiting to win by his squirt on the finish.
The 12O-yard hurdle was Certainly hard luck
for Stanford If Reynolds had not fallen he
would undoubtedly have got second place.
AS it was both first and second went to Berke.
ley, Torrey winning and Bakewen coming in
second.
The time, 16 Is seconds, breaks the previous
coast intercollegiate record by 3-5 of second,
but does not equal Torreys best showing, for
he tied the American intercollegiate record in
a heat at the Mott Haven games last year.
The 22O-yard hurdle resulted in another
new coast intercollegiate record being made
by Torrey and a coast record as well The
splendid hurdling on Reynolds part was
feature worthy of notice. Torreys time of 26
seconds under the unfavorable climatic con-
ditions is equal to at least 25 seconds in the
East under good conditions.
The two-mile bicylce race was undoubtedly
surprise to Stanford, for We won both heats
and the first and second places in the finals.
Heretofore Stanford has had the bicycle races
ell her own way. Cushing and Craft. however,
were more than a match for the men in red,
and won the races easily.
The pole vault was another surprise for Stan
ford, for Dole failed at low height for him-1O
feet. The wind of course was against all the
vaulters. Mumma vau1ted in remarkable
form for him, as he has not been able to train
at all this term.
Dole retrieved himself by winning the nigh
jump, at feet 81 inches. Koch, whose rec
ord is much above this, has not yet come up to
his last years form, as Miller Of California
also beat him. This event was another strug-
gle in the teeth OF the wind.

colleges are weak in this event.
| Edgren won the hammer throw as expected,

prise of the California contingent. Dorm has
thrown over 40 feet in practice, but is very
erratic and was beaten by the whole Stanford
entry.
The shotput was captured by Wilbur, and
| that was expected. Edgren and Lloyd got the
other places for California. The puts of all
three men were far below their previous rec

| On the whole it was splendid exhibition of
college athletics in spite of very adverse con-

| Stanford's sprinting, as remarked before,
was phenomenal, as was also Torrey's hur-
