Los ANGELES To SEND
STRONG ATHLETIC TEAM
Twelve Speedy Lads Will
Compete for Honors
on Cinder Path

At the second annual meet Of the
stanford Interscholastic Association.
which Will be held on the cardinal oval
March %, Los Angeles viii be. repre-
sented by a squad OF twelve clean
nnlbed and speedy lads from the Har-
z-ard School Under the leadership OF
Captain Ken" Lee, the crack mile run
ner, the lads are going through their
preparatory training. They will make a
strong bid for the laurels and cups now
held by the Oakland High School
The representatives Of the southern
end OF the State won the admiration
of the local sportsmen and followers
of the cinder path who attended the
meet last year. They were the favor
ties after the finish Of the nrst event
and when their present captain, h Lee,
won the mile from Harold Maundrell
of the Lowell High School in the fast
time Of 4:3S nothing was too good Tor
the wearers Of the crimson. The Stan
ford .bleachers picked them for the
winners Of the meet but they went
down after a hard struggle.
From the showing made last year
and the fact that practically the same
ment viii compete again, with several
noteworthy additions. the prospects OF
the southern lads appear TO be as
bright as, II not brighter than, those Of
any other school. Few entries have been
received by the directors OF the asso-
citation thus far, and no close line can
be drawn on the outcome. The Har-
ward lads do not attempt to estimate
their strength. Bradner Lee, brother
Of the team captain and himself star
quarter miller and relay man, sums up
the spirit Of the southern aggregation
as follows: LAS TO our prospects we
have nothing TO say. but this we will
venture: When Harvard's delegation ar
riVes At Stanford in March il will be
a determined bunch Of twelve tried
men and not the badly scared seven
which carried home the second place
trophy al the last meet"
Aside from Captain Lee, BILLY" Cline
VIII probably be the best individual
performer Cline is a sprinter Of no
mean ability, and IN addition he is a
vhfrlwind in the hurdles as well as a
star in the picked relay squad. He
holds the record in the low hurdles for
220 yards among the high schools and
''preps," and also among the collegians
OF Southern California institutions He
cleared the sticks" in q seconds fat
without disturbing q single hurdle. In
the l0O-yard dash he reeled OF the dis
tance in 1912 and the 22O in 1922.
Harvard viii probably enter in the
high 120-yard hurdles Otis and Elt
Brown, two consistent performers. In
the 22O-yard event Billy Cline will be
backed by these two and Armstrong,
another clever youngster over the
bars" In the classic hundred" Cline
viii be to the fore with his record of
1872. which should prove a stumbling
block to a number Of the competitors.
He Will be assisted by Joe Lane, a
1914 man, and Otis. This same trio will
do the 22o dash. In this event Cline
fc hrr+ &c
for 23:4, which is fast time for the dis
tance. In the 440-yard dash Bradner
Lee, who formerly held the Southern
California record IN the $50 dash, will
cover the ''man-killing" distance with
Allan Crary. a 53:1 man, and Robb.
Captain Lee Will compete in the half
mile, and should make a good showing
II he runs near his Southern California
record. Jack Valley Will be IN the
mile run. He is said to be able tc
cover the distance in 4:50. His time
should be better on the springy Stan
ford track. but in any event he will net
point in all probability. The high
jump viii be left to Thomas DuQue
He clears the bar at feet inches. Ir
the long jump Harvard has in Cal
AIcAulay a man who can 60 20 feet
He should be heard from
"Bill' Hay viii be the only strong
man in the shot put. In the hammer
brow he VIII be backed up by Man
ager Otis In the relay, the points OF

ship OF the State, a special effort will
