SHOWING ON TRACK
Final Standing Practically Decided by
Relay After Hard Contest in
Other Events-Score,
65 1.2 to 56 1-2

Before fair sized crowd of enthusi-
University of California was defeated
by the Berkeley track stars, the final
score being 651a to 5s1s.
The closeness of the score is due to
the fact that many of Berkeley'S point
winners were left in the north to COM
pete with Stanford In the annual fresh
man field meet which was held yes
terday afternoon.
The meet was very closely contested
and it was not until the last event that
California was sure of victory. This
event was the mile relay race, which
was most bitterly contested
The first lap of the relay was run by
Reed of u. s. c. and Crossfeld of
California. Crossfield gained five feet.
Stookey of u. S. C. and Paul of Cali
fornia took the second lap. Paul came
in eight feet ahead. In the third lap
Lenox held his own against Fish of
California. The last lap was hotly
contested between Burek of u. s. C.
and Stanton of California Stanton
came in with lead of six yards, win
ming the relay and practically the
meet.
Despite the fact that the track was
in good condition and the weather per-
feet, poor time was made in almost
every event.
Richardson was the star of the day,
taking first in the hammer throw, shot
put, pole vault and broad jump, and
took second place in the high jump.
He was a surprise to the students
themselves. In the hammer throw he
cast the lead ball a distance of 139 feet
8 inches, but was disqualified, as he
left the ring before the ball touched
the ground. His legitimate throw was
12S feet 2 inches.
The mile was a fierce struggle be-
tween Scott of u. s. C. and Erskine of
California. Scott won with lead of
ten feet.
The hundred yard dash was won by
Wilson of U. S. c., who greatly sur
prised the rooters. He made 1t in 1902
with a strong wind blowing against
him.
Cowles and Edwards ran dead heat
in the 120-yard hurdles in the fast time
of 16 seconds.
Burek managed to squeeze out first
place in the 220-yard hurdle, beating
Edwards only after the last hurdle
was crossed. Stanton won the 220 dash
in easy style. Paul and Thompson
fought for second place. finishing in
tie. The half mile was won by Capt.
