C0LLEGIANS WILL
SOLVE KNOTTY
PROBLEMS

The delegates Of the University of
California and of Stanford will as
semble tonight at the Palace Hotel
to frame the Intercollegiate agreement
which viii govern the relations of the
two rival institutions for the coming
year of sports. The meeting will be
one of the most important held in some
time by the representatives of the uni
versity athletes.
1t would seem from the reports
emanating from the rival student ex-
ecutive committees that the delegates
viii appear upon. the field with their
opinions well fixed. For the first time
IN the annals Of the intercollegiate
agreement the letter of the law will
be put to the test The April disaster
caused the postponement Of the final
athletic contests of the spring semester
and as a result the dates of the field
days and boating contests viii have to
be regulated.
The cardinal delegates will appear
with an ironclad policy laid down by
their undergraduate constituents. Stan
ford Will take firm stand upon all
matters and. IL is claimed, will go as
far as TO cause deadlock If matters
are not favorably adjusted. The ath-
letes and followers of athletics at the
Palo Alto institution believe that in
all former little tits with the dele
gates from Berkeley the Stanford men
have received a shade the worst of the
decisions. The rooters have also an
ak to grind. as they have repeatedly
been forced into the hot sun at GER
tain contests with the blue and gold.
To overcome any loss in the past the
Stanford delegation will stand pat"
The all important question of
whether the students shall indorse
Rugby or stand out for the old game
viii come up for consideration. 1t is
anticipated that Rugby will be the
game to be played in 1907. despite any
efforts the students may make, and
that the committee may take this stand
and comply with the higher powers. If
the decision is in the affirmative for
Rugby the date of the match will then
come up for settlement. 1t is expected
this will be changed to a week later
than at present and the freshmen con-
test moved back correspondingly. The
Stanford campus will be the scene of
the next varsity contest. and in case
Rugby is played the cardinal gridiron
viii be widened The students have
anticipated and have let the contracts
for this change.
On the coming track meet the great
est. clash OF the meeting is expected.
The meet was scheduled to be held
on the Stanford campus and was only
prevented by the April earthquake.
AS the intercollegiate agreement calls
for meets to be held alternately on
the rival university grounds, irrespec-
tive Of years, the Stanford trio will
stand out for the contest on the new
Stanford track, which has been re-
Gently built. If Berkeley does not
comply there will be no meet between
the two universities. The handicap of
a strange track is held to be con-
siderable by the collegians and is
counted as good for at least five or six
points in a meet where the compe-
tition is close.
The freshmen track meet will also
fall TO Stanford according TO the
agreement
The boating question is not expected
to start any squabble. The two uni
versities will probably agree upon
Richardson's Bay as the course and
eight-oar shells to be used, with a race
Of second team men in fours. The
freshmen will also row. If Berkeley
stands out for the course on the Oak
land estuary a fight will ensue. This
is not anticipated.
Dates for the baseball games will be
named and the question Of the grounds
for the final game in case a series Of
three games is necessary will be dis
cussed. The collegians will play only
on some neutral field in the decisive
game.
BERKELEY, Jan. 25.-Graduate Man
ager Snedigar Of the Associated SSu-
dents of the University said today that
Stanford's ultimatum about holding the
track meet at Palo Alto will not affect
the status of the affair. The meet will
be held at Berkeley. Snedigar declares,
according to the terms of the intercol-
legiate agreement, which provides that
the meet shall be held at each univer-
sity in alternate years. Berkeley had
the meet two years ago and is due to
be chosen as the scene of the event
this spring.
