UNIVERSITY
TRACK TEAM
MAY GO EAST
Steps Are Being Taken to
Provide the Necessary
Funds.

BERKELEY, Nov 1O-A big athletic
venture IS on foot at the University Of
California II is of magnitude sufficient
to arouse interest on the part Of all
those familiar with the course of intercol-
legiate athletics. Yesterday the athletic
committee of the University Associated
Students decided to send a track team
East next year, and, further, authorized
Track Manager Ezra W. Decoto to make
arrangements for the undertaking.
The suddennesS OF the committees de-
cision, as well as the unequivocal terms
in which il is put, came as a surprise to
the university men. Such a project has
been the hope of the track team for sew
eral years past, but the insuperable
obstacle of a lack of funds has always
stood in the way. The committee, how
ever, thinks it sees its way clear for over
coming that trouble. At least its finan-
cial prospects give sufficient. promise TO
warrant their saying that the proposed
trip Of the track men East can be looked
upon as assured.
There is much encourag cement for the
Berkeley men in the fact that their colorS
have never been lowered on the track. In
the West the blue and gold has always
held its own Even when the team of
1885 went East in the spring OF that year
its course was one OF uninterrupted VIC
tories. Once only was there doubt, but
fortunately the contest ended in tie
