ON SLOW TRACK
Berkeley Athletes Are Hand
icapped by the SOdden
Condition of Their Oval
MANY CLOSE FINISHES
Tibbitts and Hackley Are
Tied for First Place in
Exciting Two Mile Race

The college championship field day at
the University Of California track yes
terday afternoon was not a brilliant
event by many lengths. The cinder
path was slow and mushy and the ath-
letes had a hard time in getting over
the ground, so there was not a chance
of breaking any running records.
A fairly good crowd was In attend
ance, and the favorites were cheered
when they came home first in any OF
the various events. A large number OF
men were entered, and some Of the fin
ishes were close and exciting. The only
notable performance Of the day was
that Of Sperry. who put the shot 43 feet
and inches, breaking the college rec
ord.
large field was entered in the two
mile race. The finish Of this event was
hot one, Tibbitts and Hackley running
dead heat, with Wheeler third by sew
eral lengths. Johnston and Zacharias
also tied for first place in the third heat
of the 22O-yard dash, which was finally
won by Snedigar. with Zacharias sec
ond and Johnston third.
Clifford carried off all the glory In the
SS0-yard run. Mishler pulled up at the
post a good second, and Hanna arrived
with third honors. In the final Of the
220-yard hurdle Frei was winning by a
block. but fell down at the last hurdle.
Hume and Meany then passed him
without any difficulty.
Trainer Walter Christie was well sat-
isfied with the showing made By the
men. They have had little or no prac-
tice, as the track has been covered with
water most Of the time. Some promis-
ing youngsters were brought out. and 1t
is expected many of them will perform
in good style when the Intercollegiate
meet is held. Summary:
