OCCIDENTAL AND
POMONA READY
TRACK ATHLETES WILL MEET
THIS AFTERNOON
Indications Point to a Close Strug-
gle Between CIaremont
and the High
landers

Everything is readiness for the track
meet between Pomona and Occidental
which is to be held this afternoon at
230 o'clock on the Occidental field.
The course is in fine condition and all
indications point to very fast and pos
sibly record breaking time in many of
the events.
The dope sheets indicate that the
margin of points for the winning side
will be small unless a mishap to
either team will turn the balance in
favor of the other. Both aggregations
have been training consistently for the
meet and every man is in fine condi-
ito to do his best.
In the short dashes Occidental looks
the stronger with Bird, Thacher, Cum
mings and Holderman, all of whom
should be able to win places in their
events. Bird, who last year was sec
ond only to Parsons. is relied upon
to take the 220 and 440 and still have
something left for the relay.
Dutch" Roth will be pitted against
Brown in the half. Last year Brown
was the fastest half miller in the south
and is even faster this year. In the
mile and two mile, Chaplin of o. c. will
try to lower the colors of Johnson and
Lorbeer. Johnson has shown great
form in the long distance event and
the Claremont supporters are anxious
that he should pit his speed with the
wearer of the black and gold who is
thought by many to be the fastest
man on the coast in his events.
Hagerman of o. G. has been win
ming so long that the two hurdles and
broad jump are conceded to him with
out question. In the broad jump and
high hurdles he looks a sure winner
but in the low hurdles he has some
speedy men to beat Both Spurgeon
and Bishop have made considerably
faster time this season than Hagerman
has ever done and they may be able to
take his measure in this event.
The two weights and high jump will
be easy picking for Pomona and all
three places in each event do not seem
too much for them to expect.
The relay promises to be the feature
of the day with the advantage slightly
in Pomona's favor from their past
performances.
