he busy next Saturday at Harvard mil

gether in the annual interscnoiastie
meet. The events promise to be closely
Polytechnic high schools OF the city
division, The loss of Thorpe OF Har-
ward and the ineligibility OF ticker
hauser of Polytechnic Will pc lelt
keenly. -.
The results in last years meet were
close and 1t Is expected several SPECIFY
athletes will be brought from SUBURBAN
towns. Among the latter are f 10y, Wy
OF Monroyia and Dodd of Long Beach'
who are said TO be strong possibilities
in the mile and broad jump respec-
Stein of Glendale no doubt will give
n good account of himself in the sprihts
but 1t is hardly expected he can deLeae
Throop of Poly or Rubio OF Los All
when In the pink of condition, are con-
coded to be the swiftest runners who
have entered for the 100-yard dash,
and this event will keep the FRIENDS OF
the two contestants busy guessing until
the dash is concluded.
Polytechnic, with its team intact,
would look like one of the most certain
OF yictors for the championship, as the
Washington street boys proved their
class recently when they defeated the
Los Angeles high school team by
small margin. Since that time, now
ever. a persistent rumor has gained
ground that Rickerhauser, VINO won
five points for Polytechnic. has been
found ineligible to compete In the
county meet next Saturday.
Pasadena high will be well repre-
scented in field events. Among these
is the broad jump, which Gibbs should
capture without any difficulty. Last
year he captured first place with a
leap of 90 feet 313 inches.
Harvard military academy, notwlth-
standing the fac. 1t loses Thorpe In the
relay race, will be q strong CONTENDER
for relay honors.
Los Angeles high school also will be
well represented in Lugo, Rubio ROD
ertson and the Harrigan brothers, all
of whom are regarded as probable
point winners. Captain Philip Harrl-
gan is looked on as sure winner OF me
high hurdles. Robertson captured this
event last year in 10 1-5 seconds.
Conference Meet
College athletes will have busy day
next Saturday at Bovard field when
Occidental, u. S. c., Pomona and WHIT
tier gather to contest for supremacy.
Although u. S. C. Is the champion OF
the south In track and field sports this
does not assure they will win next sat
urday, as other colleges have several
dark horses they intend to place In the
limelight.
Whittier college will be of great
strength to the Methodists. VINO say
should they lose the distance events
they prefer to lose to the Quakers as
they stand no chance of winning the
conference meet.
In the dual meet between u. s. c. and
Pomona Captain Sloan of Pomona won
the 100-yard dash in the time of 10 2-5
seconds. but in the meet with Occiden-
tai Trotter of u. S. C. won the dash
in the short time of 10 10 seconds and
according to this dope u. S. C. should
win the sprints. Again in the 22O-yard
dash Joos of Pomona won the dash in
"a seconds fiat, but in the meet with
Oxy Martin of U. s. c. won over Baer
in % 2-5 seconds.
The best time made in the 440-yard
dash in several dual meets was made
by Sloan of Pomona who ran 1t in
SO 2-5 seconds and this time IL repeated
probably will win first place for the
Claremont institution in the conference
meet.
Newmire of u. S. C. has run the
half mile in minutes seconds and
should win this event next Saturday.
Gower of u. S. G. runs the half mile
fast enough to secure second place.
Whittier probably will win the two
mile run and also the mile. Scott has
an excellent chance to win the mile,
having made the event in minutes
SO seconds, a time that usually should
take the mile in any dual meet, the
only exception being in the meet
against Whittier.
Thomson Of Oxy probably will win
the 100 hurdles, with Captain Lennox
of u. S. c. q close second. LennoX's
best time Is shade under 16 20 Sec
onds and Thomson's time is 16 1-5 Sec
onds. The same athletes should win
low hurdles.
Burek looks like a winner in the
hammer throw for u. S. c. Trotter of
the same college seems "sure thing
i'm the shot put His record of Al feet
is not likely to be broken this year.
Murray the former Grown city ath-
lete, now with U. S. c., no doubt will
win the high jump. He cleared five
feet seven inches in the Pomona meet,
but was not in form when he contested
with Gordon i'll the Occidental meet
and lost to him. In the meet last Sat-
urday against Stanford he. won this
event from Poor and Horton by a height
of feet inches.
Sloan of Pomona has cinch on
first place in the broad jump and
Thomson will crowd Goodsell of u. S.
G. for third honors. Richardson of u.
S. c. is doped to win the pole vault
over all competitors. He has won this
event in every dual meet for the last
three years, The relay looks as though
it will be captured by the U. S. c. ath-
letes. this combination run having been
won by the Methodists in the time of
1885.
The suburban meet will be held at
the Occidental college field March 81
and will be contested by the smaller
high schools OF the county. This meet
should develop fast material for the
larger high schools. Entries for the
county meet are coming in fast and will
be much larger than in former years.
