CARDINALS NEED
FUNDS FOR

of Athletes

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, May 15.-
The track men who will represent
Stanford university in the big confer
training regularly and the small squad
of stars is now augmented by {
number of men who will take part in
the dual meet with the Olympic club
at Berkeley next Saturday. The chief
trouble with the Chicago trip at the
present time is the lack OF funds
caused by the withdrawal of severa
of the teams which Stanford was tc
which source guarantees were forth
coming
Manager Stewart received word from
the authorities Of the University OF
Utah stating that this team would not
be able to meet the cardinals beca use
of summer geological work This
means loss of $500 to the cardinal
fund, while only $500 is to be obtained
by meets in Denver, where it was orig
inally expected $500 would be realized
This withdrawal has forced the execu-
tive committee to make a plea to the
graduates and the undergraduates to
get up an individual fund and col
lectors have been appointed to solicit
on the row" and in Encina hall and
among the alumni in San Francisco
Up to the present time the under
graduates have raised $3.50 and $500
has been assured the team by Chicago
and $200 by the Denver authorities
The remainder of the coin needed will
be derived from the Olympic club NEE;
and from the subscriptions. 1t is hoped
$500 can be obtained in the last named
manner.
The men are confident of taking a
first place in the eastern meet The
star performers are in excellent trim
and the recent news from Chicago to
the effect that the relay race will count
as a point medium has given additional
impetus TO the local movement Stan
ford hopes to be able to take eight
athletes and Trainer Moulton east. In
this number will be found either Micky
Reed or Holman as a Splinter if they
can make good enough times to war
rant taking east Ten and one fifth
will be the hundred yard standard and
22:03 the longer dash record required
of these aspirants. Wyman will go in
the quarter mile and relay races, J. O.
Miller in the quarter mile, half mile
and relay. Maundrell or Hempl is due
to go as a mile and half miller, while
Worthington is to be the represents
tive in the two mile run. In the field
events the showing should be good.
Crawford is looked TO take two first
places, one in the hammer and the
other in the shot. with Horton sec
ond in the last named place If he can
get into form. Scott will go as a pole
vaulter and broad jumper, while Stolz
will be present to represent Stanford
in the broad jump and a relay man.
At meeting of the track team held
today Captain Horton was elected to
act as manager in making all prepare
tions for the eastern trip and has
charge of the list of donations. He is
