SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STANFORD. UNIVERSITY, May o.
With the college year drawing to
close. the athletes of Stanford univers-
serted the athletic fields and cinder-,
path for the studious task of preparing
for final examinations. Several of the
most prominent athletes of the track
team have, however. continued their
routine of training and will make the
trip to Chicago. The personnel of the
team which the cardinal will send to
compete in the big intercollegiate con-
ference association field day has just
been announced by Captain Harry
Horton.
AS the fast freshmen cannot COM
pete under the rules of the confer
ence associations. several changes in
the team have been occasioned from
what 1t was generally expected would
be the squad. To fill in the gap D. p
Crawford, a shot putter of varsity
caliber and hammer thrower who won
the first named event in intercollegiate
competition with the University of
California two years ago, has been
drafted. ]. o. Miller, the veteran
middle and long distance runner, who
was out of form at the time of the
track meet, has been listed, together
with his team mate. Harold Maundrell
who, at the same time, was injured.
HORTON FOR CAPTAIN
These three new men make the
team in points as strong as before. It
eliminates the possibility of a winning
cardinal relay team, but as this event
is not included in the point taking
events of the meet it does not impair
the POSSIBILITY of the cardinal taking
the championship
AS the team Is now composed. Hor-
ton will go as captain and will COM
pete in the hurdles and shot put. Ac-
cording to all data obtainable, the big
leader is tossing the, shot farther by
good margin than any of the eastern
ers. Crawford is close UP to the cap
tain and Stanford should annex four
or six points in this event. In the
hurdles Horton has only allowed him
self a possible third.
In the mile Bradford is booked to
win His time here is several seconds
better than the best that any of the
eastern runners are accredited with
Miller is picked to gather point or
more in the half, while Maundrell
should do likewise. In the two mile
Stanford expects points IL Eddie Nash
is in form. He has not run much since
his collapse in the intercollegiate and
may not 60
MARTIN LOOKS GOOD
In the sprints, Reed is picked to
make the eastern fast men hustle. Reed
has made close to 10 fiat and the con-
ference men are not down to the fat
mark yet
In the field the cardinal should be
the strongest. Two first places are
counted upon. Bellah, with a record
OF over 12 feet in the pole vault, looks
a certainty, while Vandervoort with
his % foot jumps in the broad can be
relied upon.
In the high jump Dad Moulton be-
lleyes Martin can place a few more
| points to the score. AT the conference
meets the day, is usually won by q
margin of few points, and any team
which can total 20 or more is usually
assured of a victory Upon the show
ing of the Stanford men it would look
as though Bradford. Horton and Van
dervoort would be able to gather 15 of
the needed tallies. while Horton. Craw-
ford. Miller Nash. Martin, Maundrell
and Reed should add up enough more
to make a Stanford victory.
The names of the picked athletes
have been entered by Dr. Angel of the
faculty athletic committee and funds
are rapidly being raised by student
subscription TO lift the present total
of S1,400 to the required amount.
