HIGHLANDERS
WANT VICTORY
OCCIDENTAL AFTER SCALP OF
PASADENA Y. M. C. A.
Crown City Track Aspirants Come
Well Recommended but Presby-
terians Hope to Add
Them to Belt

The Occidental college tracksters will
endeavor to tack another string of good
intentions to their cinder path belt to-
morrow afternoon when they meet the
| representatives of the Pasadena Young
| Mems Christian association on the Oc-
cidental field.
The Crown City reformers will come
with perhaps better recommendations
than any team that the Presbyterians
have met this year, as some Of them
| carry credentials from colleges and 9TH
er places where athletic renown is
gained. However, the Highlanders are
confident that their training and con-
stant practice will stand them in good
stead.
Manager Crane has received the
bronze and silver medals promised in
anticipation of the meet and they will
be awarded to the first and second
place winners.
Owen Bird is looked upon as a point
gamer in both the 100 and 440-yard
dashes, but If he should fail Archie
Kellog will probably be able to work
up the necessary speed in both the
events. Kellog clipped fifth of a Sec
| ond off his former time in the century
sprint Wednesday against Glendale
high school and is now prepared to
do the squirt in 10 3-5 seconds. This
gait looks good against any of the local
scorchers, none of whom have bettered
it to date. Clarence Brewer is also cal
culated to break some of the speed or
dinances in any of the distances up to
the half mile.
Fred Thomson still shows a partiality
to the hurdle and weight prizes and
has been quoted as saying that he
needs some sterling to make his COL
lection of heirlooms complete. Ken
! meth Gorden and Lowry have already
gained repute as the elevated twins,
and nothing would keep them from
making an effort in the pole vaults and
jumps.
Fred Thomson and Pierce Thomas
have options on the broad jump and
intend to foreclose tomorrow. Thom-
son cleared 20 feet inches at his first
venture into the plowed county last
week and is expected to ado a few
inches to that mark in the next at
tempt.
