The San Francisco call., 1908-10-03
High School Athletes
Ready for Fray
By Herbert HauSer

The twenty fifth semiannual field
day of the Academic Athletic league
viii be held this afternoon, beginning
at 1870 o'clock, on the University Of
California cinder track. One hundred
and twenty-th entries have been re-
ceived from the thirty odd schools in
the league and the indications are that
the meet will be closely contested. 1t
looks very much as If the Oakland
high school will once more walk away
with the honors, though not very easily,
for Cogswell. Santa Rosa and Healds-
burg all have strong teams and Ukiah
and San Jose can be counted on always
TO score q number of points.
The sprints ought to go to Caldwell,
as his showing last Saturday in the
Bay county meet stamped him as a
conner. Unless some one OF the country
schools should spring a surprise he will
win hands down, with his schoolmate
Hollis inside the points.
Meyer, from past performances.
should win the quarter, with Macauley
following him up. The latter runner
once gave promise of making a name
for himself in athletic circles, but could
not Withstand the sporting inducements,
and the result is that he has gone
backward
Whether or not Shattuck of Oakland
Polytechnic can repeat his victory of
last Saturday is doubtful. His event
has 20 entries. several of whom have
made better time than his.
The mile is all Hartwell'S, and 1t is
hoped that there will be some one in
the race fast enough to make him break
the league record of 4:35 80 held by
himself.
The hurdles is a hard race between
tries from the country schools that are
liable to nose out either or both Of
them.
With Harold of Berkeley not en-
tered, the weight events are in doubt
Ukiah as rule has good men in these
and may come through this year,
The pole vault seems to lie between
Young of Healdsburg, who won last
year, and Mike Smith of Oakland, with
Kendrick of Cogswell to be counted on.
The high jump also is an uncertain
event Baumhaugh of Wilmerding
stands an excellent show of winning.
Mike Smith should place Baumbaugh
there is no telling what the new out
side men will do
Unless an accident occurs, the relay
is Oaklands 1t is surprising that
as good men, seldom defeat Oakland
in the relay. The boys practice tagging
every day at noon and every. other
chance they can get, and 1t is this
tagging that counts.
Lick and wilmerding will play the second
football game of the subleague season today
on the Alameda recreation grounds. Captain
Trilbridge and Coach Tisconia of WilInerding
have worked hard to put ont first class team
Merchant, an expert at the game, will play
fullbaek. Smith is another good and
should show his ability on right end. Hanly
playing quarterback, Scove, center, and Rudolph
on left half of the blue and gold team, should
protect their school colors. George and VIII
Middleton. the Lick coaches have been working
their men at the stadium every day. The Tiger
team is short two good men, but Captain Hol-
man believes that with those he has he can
defeat Lick's rival Witmeyer. the big full
back has permission to play; Smith will be at
center Murray quarter back Holt left half,
Captan Holman right half. Phillups right
tackle. Bsnta left tackle, Randall right end.
Leib left end. The game will be called at 1890
O'Clock.
The Lowell girls defeated their fair rivals
from Lick in an interesting basket ball game
Thursday, to @. Captain DAILY OF the Lick
team put up an excellent game, but was poorly
supported
Lick's 1911 and 1912 basket ball teams met in
another match of the interclass basket ball
schedule 1911 winning IS to 5. Rust won much
applause by shooting FIVE goals. The lineup:
