STANFORD COMING.
The Students VIII Arrive To-Day to
Compete on the Campus and Forum.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
A.-To-morrow will be big day in inter-
collegiate affairs, as the representatives of
Stanford and Berkeley are scheduled to
meet each other in competition on the
track in the afternoon at the Olympic
Club grounds and in the great intercol-
legiate debate at night. The men have
trained very faithfully and had the
weather been good and the track in condi-
tion several records would have been
smashed. AS it is, Track Manager Brown
says that no running records will be
broken, but that the contest will surely be
close and interesting, no matter what the
conditions.
In the 100 yard dash Stanford will enter
Bernhard '96, Holbrook '97, Toombs '96
(captain), and Brunton '99. Joe Bernhard
is the best sprinter Stanford possesses. He
has had considerable experience on the
track, and in his junior year was elected
track captain. He has record of 10 2-5,
made at STAFFORD, and enjoys the distinc-
ton of having defeated Berkeley in the
100-yard dash and the 220-yard sprint.
Since Scroggins is not at Berkeley this
year, Bernhard stands good show to win,
though Dickie and Chick are said to have
| made records of 10 LIS.
| John Brunton was one of the crack men
to enter Stanford this year. He made his
first appearance last year on the Stanford
track when he was attending prepara-
| tory academy. Later he made his first
public appearance in Sacramento, when
he won four first places. He is a strong
runner, with great endurance and an
ideal build for an athlete. His best work
is in the quarter-mile run, but he has also
made very fast time in the 100-yard. 10 rs
being his record.
HolbrOok is also fast, being quick at the
start and good tnisher.
Captain Toombs Is trying in the sprints
| for the first time this year; he has made a
good showing in the 100 yard and 220, but
is looked to for his best work at the broad
and high jump. At the broad jump he
easily clears 20 feet inches, and 5 feet
! inches is a fair trial for him in the high
jump.
Colliver '96, viii be entered in the 90,
| for his recent work has been of first-class
order.
The hurdles are found to be exciting.
| Harry Reynolds is looked on here as be-
| hustle. Reynolds won 220-yard hurdle
from Berkeley, and will work hard TO win
again this year. His best record is 81 2-5.
In the 120-yard hurdle he has done good
work this year, although he never tried
the event before. In late trial in the
1AU-y dIQ nuIClcS Ac lAdQS IL IL sec
onds. In the high jump Reynolds will
also enter, and has a record of 5 feet
! inches in that event.
Charles Dole '98 is the best alI-round
athlete here. Unfortunately he enters the
meet with a bruised heel, but will GER
tainly make good showing. Dole is
nephew of President Dole of the Hawaiian
Islands He is the champion Y. M. G. A.
all-round athlete on the coast His work
at the hurdles has been of high order re-
Gently. Among his records are 10 feet
| N inches for the pole vault; II seconds
! for the 120-yard hurdles; 271a seconds for
the 22O-yar3 hurdles; 20 feet 6 inches for
the broad jump; feet inches for,the high
jump. He also puts the shot SO feet and
| sprints well.
| In the mile bicycle race Charles Frazier
| '9S, Roper '96. Seybolt '97 and Anfenger
| '96 will hold up the cardinal colors. Fra
Zier is a fast man from Portland, where he
was looked on as "star." His training
has been seriously interrupted, so it is not
known just what he will do tomorrow.
| Roper is very fast for new man, and Sey-
bolt of the Garden City Club has done
some creditable riding. Anfenger is a
new man, but has speed and pluck, which
| should give him place.
In the half-mile Smith, Holly and
Walker, though all new men, have done
conscientious training and are no easy
men to beat.
Dave Brown is Stanford's pride for the
mile walk. He holds the coast record of
:36 for that event and has repeatedly
made it under 40 in practice. He is one
| OF the most devoted trackmen Stanford
has, and it is owing 10 his efforts as mucii as
to any other students that Stanford has a
| cinder path and good team. His efforts
have been indefatigable since he entered
the university.
In the mile walk Stanford will have two
good representatives, though both are new
men. Jack '99 IS man OF powerful
physique and has shown marked aptitude
for the walk. He is credited with having
made the mile under eight minutes in
practice, as is his walking mate Wilkin-
son.
In the shot put RoIlin Wilbur who
now holds the coast record of 40 feet 81
inches, should break his own mark. He
has done 40 feet 8 inches IN trial field days
here and is in frst-class condition for the
attempt tomorrow. He also threw the
hammer over 125 feet regularly in practice
and has made l28 feet 6 inches with one
arm throw.
Charles Fickert will also throw the ham.
mer and put the shot. He is big, 200
pound athlete and captain of the football
team. This is his first year in track ath
letics, but he already throws the hamms
lbs feet and tosses a sixteen-pound sho
over 81 feet. George Hazard '96 will ente
the hammer throw, and should make IN
feet if conditions are right.
Fisher will put the shot, and though
he has been out but month has done g.
feet in his event.
Merle Johnson '97 will enter the broaC
jump. AT present he holds the inter
collegiate coast record of 81 feet 10 inches
