Special Dispatch to The Call.

PALO ALTO, April 2O.-The proposal
of the Berkeley faculty to call the in
tercollegiate field day and debate off
for the year on account of the 1keH-
hood of an intercollegiate rush over the
stolen Stanford ak and the confidence
Of the Stanford faculty that no such
action was necessary if the students OF
the California University refrained
from raising theire of the cardinal sup
porters by display of the purloined
trophy, resulted in sending Professor
Greene to Berkeley this afternoon to
confer with the faculty of the Univer-
sity of California. Satisfactory ar
rangements were made and assurances
given by the Berkeley faculty that the
visitors from Stanford would be treated
with proper respect.
After Professor Greene's return from
Berkeley this evening a conference be-
tween the members of the faculty, the
committee on athletics and students
affairs was held, and a report made TO
President Jordan. The latter then, to-
gether with Professor Richardson, is
sued the following statement, which
was posted on the bulletin board:
The committee on athletics has every
assurance that our students are to be re-
ceived at Berkeley as guests and to pe
treated with every courtesy at the field
day next Saturday. Our students are
urged not to allow themselves to be
drawn into any rush or unSentlemanly
conduct Anything resembling q personal
encounter between the students of the
two universities must disgrace them both
and will lead to the suspension OF all IN
tercollegiate contests, Let, no old ak cut
