Stanford Again Meets
Crushing Defeat.
BIG CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
AT ANNUAL INTERCOLLEGIATE
DAY AT BERKELEY.
Little Enthusiasm Manifested Over
the Games, While the Cardinal
Gets the Ak Right in the
Neck.

Bitter was the medicine that the Uni
versity of California forced down the
throats of the Stanford athletes during
the past year. The annual football game
was the first aCrd dose, then came the
baseball defeat and now as a climax to
their athletic travail Stanford must bear
q crushing blow in the shape of track
and field Knockout.
The largest crowd that has ever gath
cred for a field day in Berkeley saw the
home team play with the visitors yester-
day afternoon. Californias victory did
not depend so mucn upon the inherent
strength of her team as upon the inferior
ability of her opponent. Stanford was
hOpelessly weak in the field and to this
is due the great discrepancy in the score,
which read "A TO 43 when the last event
was tabulated. On the track Stanford had
a fairly strong team, especially in the
long-distarce events.
There was nothing in this years inter-
collegiate field and track battle to excite
interest. 1t seemed Goregone conclusion
that California would come out of the
struggle with glowing colOrs and no spe-
Cial animation characterized the speCta-
tors who filled the benches. Although
the general result was no other than
what was anticipated, some surprises in
the sprints and long-distance events were
in store Tor the Berkeley men. Not a
single record was broken, yet a few of the
races proved exciting enough to force a
mOmentary thrOb in the breasts of the
sympathetic spectators.
The finals of the l00-yard dash and the
halt-mile run We're the feature events. In
the sprint race SimOnds and WoOlSey,
representing California, and Stewart and
PraA from Stanford darted out together
at the snOt of the pistol. Down the
course they came, making a single line
across the track. About the Seward
mark the four began TO separate, Simonds
and stewart forging ahead of their COM
peutOfS. i he race was between these two
and each man fought hard for first place.
II looked Tor all the world as if a dead
heat would result, when Stewart, on his
last stride, broke the ,ape with a bound,
an inch ahead Of his blue and gold rival
In the halt-mile run the last lap brought
strange results. MOser of California took
the lead and Smith and Williams of
Stanford traied him twice around the
track. Then came Warwick. another blue
and gold shirt. The pack followed far in
the rear. When the squirt began Moser
had working lead, but Williams and
Smlth and even ChadbOUrne, another car
dlnal athlete. seemingly miles behind
had speed enough LETT to win a dozen
such races. In squirt Williams burst
forward, pulling Smith with him. II was
the end OF MOSer and Warwick both of
whom were pressed by Chadbourne, who
was not even thought Of Williams won
the race with Smith a close second
Ihe best time was made in the mile, a
race IN which no California man was a
their mettle, and they finished in a strong
squirt IN the very good time OF 4:39 As.
