Meet Today in
Second Game.

BERKELEY, April 13.-Fine weather
has brought out. the athletes to the
cinder path in big squads each day,
and preparations for the big intercol-
legiate track meet next Saturday are
booming along. Trainer Walter Chris
tie has his men in splendid condition,
he says, and guards with jealous eyes
the movements of them all Perhaps
the man who has the highest place in
the trainers affections just now is the
star freshman sprinter. Forrest Q.
Stanton, whose phenomenal work in
the short dashes has caused him to be
regarded as a sure point winner for the
blue and gold in the intercollegiate
meet Stanton has shown form that is
extraordinary for a freshman, and the
critics believe he is destined to wear
the mantle now adorning the shoulders
of Team Captain Ollie Snedigar, the
neetest man that ever hit the path at
Berkeley Stanton won the 1OO-yard
dash and the 220-yard dash for Cali
fornia against Stanford in the fresh
man intercollegiate meet a few weeks
ago. He added to his laurels later by
winning the 220-yard dash against the
southern California track team Of
picked, all-star men, defea ting Snedi-
gar among others in that event He
ran second in the 10O-yard dash at that
meet. being beaten by Snedigar
The lads record as a football player
in the intercollegiate freshman game
was admirable, he being a crack half
back on the blue and gold eleven, do
ing marvellous work in carrying the
bail and handling punts. He is from
the Harvard Military School in Los
Angeles, and because of his brilliant
record made thus early, on both the
gridiron and the cinder path, is looked
upon as perhaps the most promising
ah-around athlete among the college
men at Berkeley

Lick can boast of good team In the
game with Wilmerding, Bell OF Lick
allowed only one hit, struck out nine
and walked two, and won by score of
IL to 0. Not a Wilmerding man got
beyond second base. Wilmerding then
turned around and beat Lowell by a
score of to s. Last Saturday, Lowell
beat Poly" by score of 10 to O. This
means that Lick should take both these
teams into camp handily
What makes the Lick team so strong
is the fact that the services of two re-
liable pitchers can be depended upon.
When Bell is not In the box he can be
placed on first base and Maillot is taken

tion is worked in every game
Captain Hall. on the receiving end of
