BERKELEY. CAL, Jan. 22-Sixty ath-
letes at the State University will begin

on the track and diamond.
Forty of these will don the spikes and
the remaining twenty will twirl the ball.
The Introductory work for the track ath-
Ietes on Monday will be cross-country
run of an hours length, and then the reg
ular gymnasium training and field work
will begin in earnest, preparatory to the
spring intercollegiate meet in April. An
enthusiastic meeting of the athletes was
held this afternoon, at which the general
plan for the seasons training was out
lined by Track Captain Brown and Colonel
George G. Edwards.
The entire gymnasium work will be
under the direction of Professor Magee,
who will be assisted by Al Lean, the pro-
fessional trainer, who has been employed.
Until March most OF the work will be in
the gymnasium at the chest-weights and
rings. After that date the team will be
divided into squads, which will be drilled
in their specialties Independently. At the
end of a few weeks practice general
tryont will be held, and all those who
come up to certain standard will be per-
mitted to nse the training house at the
track.
The others will be accorded the use of
the gymnasium. Professor Magee has
excused mum Der of the most promising
men on the team from the regular pre-
scribed gymnasium work under the con.
dition that they train regularly on the
track. These men are as follows: Barnes,
Broughton, Carver, Cheek, Dawson,
Drum, Griffin, Hooper, Custer, Lloyd,

Baseball promises to furnish more
fruitful source OF interest this year than
any season heretofore. The sad expert
ence of meeting defeat after defeat at the
hands Of the Palo Alto men has had the
off nf RI
more strenuous efforts each year. Their
record last year was an Improvement on
the year before, and the work of 1894 was
superior to that of 1893. OF the 1896 Var
sity players who will return there are
Krug, Elston, Hoag, Proctor, McLaren,
Hennesey and Wheeler.
The loss by graduation of Morden as
pitcher and fielder leaves these two
places vacant. Harrisburg will try for the
place at the box and "Dud" Dean is out
for the vacant place in the field. Mein
1900 promises to give Wheeler hard
fight for catcher on the Varsity team this
year, and Belding 1900. a clever little
player, is out for second base. As to the
merits of the other candidates, the season
is almost too early to give wise forecast.
The dental college men say they have a
surprise to spring in the way of crack
battery.
L. M. Parrish '9s, the newly elected
manager of the nine, is in search of pro-
fessional coach. Correspondence with
several champions has been carried on,
but with no definite results. There is talk
of securing Charles Irwin, third baseman
on last years Cincinnati team, who is at
present in San Francisco.
