Handicap Field Day.
BERKELEY, CAL, April 9.-The Uni
versity of California handicap field day Of
the spring season will be held next Satur-
day afternoon on the Berkeley cinder
track providing the weather permits. The
entry list closed to-day with about sixty
five names in the different track and field
events.
The three events which will attract the
most absorbing interest will be the 100
yard dash. the 220 and the 44O yard rum
Just at present the university has no very
fast men in these events, and it seems 10
be i'm perative that two or three sprinters
of the first class be developed before the
Eastern trip this summer is undertaken
There are nine entries in the 100, eight il
the 220 and eight in the 44O Captain
Merwin expresses hope that at least two
men out of the entire lot can be depended
upon for making the 100 in 10 Is, and
the other two sprints with proportionrtely
good time. Koch, the all-round athlete,
will enter the 100 This Is something of
an innovation for him, as he has hereto
fore confined his attention to the high
Jump. the shot-put and the half mile.
There is much speculation as to what he
will do with the 100. In practice vest ardav
he covered the distance in IL seconds un-
paced. In the hammer-throw great things
are looked for from Edgren. He promises
to duplicate his recent throw of i47 feet
inches.

the Students Congress from Senator Per
kins, in which he complies with the re-
quest to change the terms of his offer of

team to be divided equally among the

Talk of Town Division.
BERKELEY, CAL, April 9.-The second
defeat OF school bonds in Berkeley has
again given rise to talk of dividing the
town. The proposition to divide East and
West Berkeley has frequently been dis.
cussed in the past and the present sec
tional division over the bond question has
revived the issue.
In the bond election for 5000, 900 the
school bonds carried in East Berkeley by
the necessary two-thirds vote and the
wharf bonds carried by two-thirds ma
the verdict was nullified by the votes of
the other section of the town.
West Berkeley is still strongly in favor
of bonds for wharf and East BerkeIeyans
are ready to vote for The schools, but
neither part of the town can carry out its
wishes because of the opposition of the
other part.
