STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April IL
Athletes of the University of California
and OF Stanford will compete in their
annual track and field meet tomor-
row. This year for the first time the
new Stanford track will be used ana
both teams will put forth great EFFORTS
to have the honor of christening the
oval with a cardinal or a blue and gold
victory.
The hard luck which has struck down
some of the men in the cardinal camp
has been felt by "Micky'' Reed. the
fast 100 and 22o man; j. r. Holman. his
team mate; ]. o. Miller. G. G. Coonan,
freshmen; Wyman and Harold Maun-
drell the gritty long distancer. FOR
the greater part these athletes nave
recovered and are in comparatively
good form. but will need the week TO
round into the best OF condition.
Reed and Holman, the first two
sprinters of the cardinal. are in as good
form as any of the injured ones.
In his first appearance since stralnlne
tendon Reed won the daehes iast
Wednesday in close to record time. hoi-
man, who had had bad foot due 10
poisoning. also made his appearance ana
finished a good second. Taking INTO
account the slow start necessitated by
Reeds weak leg. Dad Moulton enthusl-
would place Reed over the tape next
Saturday in 10 seconds in the hundred
J. o. Miller Is causing more concern
than any of the injured runners with
the possible exception of MaundreH.
In the meet with Pomona, Miller Ieil

troubles, kept him on crutches up TO

turf and it is expected he will be able
70 make a good showing In the DAYS
remaining for training. 1t is beiieved
in his present condition he will not
be at his best by Saturday and the
quarter mile will fall to the lot or
Freshman Brown to guard in company
with his freshman team mate. Wyman,
and Coonan, Hughes, Towne and Sew
Grey. This decision will make the
quarter mile event the most spectacu-
lar of the day. Captain Stanton of the
blue and gold has been picked by many
experts to beat any runner on the
coast in this event. Brown has made
as good time, however, and it is be-
lieved confidently here while the race
will be close to the last inch, that
Brown will fight 1t out a winner,
In the hundred yard dash as the en-
tries have been fixed by the two cap
tains there will be but one heat. There
are but six men entered and pretty
race is expected. Reed and Holman,
together with Gardner, are the Stan
ford entries. while Paul and Crossfield
have been entered, together with
Stanton, by California.
The 220 dash will be run In heats.
Stanford has practically the same en-
tries, with the addition of Smitherum.

yard dash In the freshman meet. with
Towne, his team mate, and Wander
WORT. Grundy, Stanton and Kant are
the men in the first heat for Califor-
MIA. Should Stanton choose to COM
pete he will give both Reed and Hol-
man a close call to the tape. Truax,
Mathews and Hall will be in the sec
| ond heat.
The mile run will develop one of the
/ greatest spectscles of the day. In this
event De Mamiel of tho blue and gold,
present holder OF the intercollegiate
record, will run against Bradford of
Stanford, whom he defeated last year.
Bradford has been improving steadily
run of his life. Bradford will be
backed by Maundrell. another oldtime
rival of De Mamie1
In the pole vault the recent vault of
IL feet 21z inches seems to assure Bel
lab Of Stanford this event. Mum, the
versatile freshman of the blue and
gold. is expected TO finish second In
the high jump it should be Martin of
Stanford and scrap between Sterling
of the cardinal and Mum for second.
Vandervoort, by his Jump which
broke the intercollegiate record
Wednesday. is looked to for five tallies
| in the broad jump while Horton has
shown form which would warrant a
victory in the shotput over Mum and
his team mates. The hammer throw
will probably be the property of Chris
| ties men.
