Team Appears strong n Freshman
Material Seems Particularly Capable.
There is confidence at Stanford that
the track team. will win in the conference
meet IN Chicago in June. The Stanford
men are planning a trip that will mean
leaving PaIo Alto on May ~ and meet
ing on the way teams in Colorado utah
and Iowa. The conference meet will
BE- hald on June 6 IN Chicago Theirs
was an idea that the Stanford team might
he able to arrange games with colleges
further East and make a regular outing
Of IL while they were away from home.
Attempting to arrange dual meets with
any Of the colleges here would mean that
The fasteners would have to Keep IN
training for two weeks after the inter
collegiate season is over in this sect'on.
This makes it about impossible for such
competitions to be arranged.
However. Stanford will do well enough
IL It, wins the conference championship.
Last year Chicago scored ~ points and
won the meet, with Stanford and Wis
cousin tied at 20 each and Illinois fourth
with IS points. Stanford Q the dual
meet with California this year handily
by a SCORE Of es to SO, and the performances
of some OF the winning athletes there
were such as to give he impression that
the Fac,nc Coast men should do well
vhenr they tackle the middle Western
colleges later on.
The dairy P0tr, 4tto, says "Basing their
forecasts or the present seasons per
formances Of the athletes who may be
expected to compete in the conference
meet. Capt. Horton, and the men Of the
tracy teafa estfrrate that there is an ex-
Client chance for a Cardinal victory.
VILE the showing made will depend
tofaoms extent on the number Of men
who make the trip the indications are
,bs& the Stanford score will I've larger
thtn last years by several points.'

WITCH he ~eaualled in the Stanford
california meet this year. Last year
MEfriam Of Chicago won the quarter
intn rs seconds. while Wynan in the Cali
fotAia Stanford meet ran In so is seconds.
Miner forced him very hard in this race,
and az wyman can also run the half mile
it Aooks as il the Stanford men should
eafn'a big block Of points in the quarter
and half. They are relied upon to get
rSput sixteen points in these events.
Crawford is expected TO win both the
wight events. Last year in the con-
fetepce meet he won the hammer throw
With 1873 feet A.. inches and in the dual
meet THIS spring against California he
threw IA feet 81 inches. 1t rs expected
hat be win winrthe shot put, as he did
"a feet -, inches in the dual meet this
spring. and that is compared with the
winning performance last year OF Ost-
hcf Of Wisconsin, who won the confer
cnce title with ~ feet 1 inch. That
brings the estimated Stanford total with
these three men up TO 20 points. II
wyman should fail to run second in the
haH mile and should not score at all Stan
fardviHhave made on this basis "a points.
which 10 more than last year.

There arc to be added to these men
n3rue others who undoubtedly should
score. In the dual meet with California
Stanford had a double winner in the
eprints ID, Coleman y He won the 100
Yards in 10 2-5 seconds and the furlone in
y as seconds. To back up Coleman is a
iinior named. Reed, who is rated a CON
s;stent man at 10 is seconds when in con-
iition, but such a performance should
c.unt very little against May of Illinois,
who has done 9 as seconds on two occa-
sbns. However, either Coleman or Reed
nav score in.the 100 and 200 in the confer.
ebce games.
IL is regarded at Stanford as likely
ppint ih yhe conference games: although
MacGregor, the best Of the Stanford
men, was beaten in 4 minutes IS seconds
Ivy Smith Of California. The mile in the
conference games last year was o in
minutes Is IS seconds. The best of the
dsstance men at Stanford are MacGregor
and Worthingtop, the latter Of whom was
beaten about a foot in the two mile rur
in The dual meet That wa won in II
minutes Q seconds by Newman, a Stanford
freshman, who will not be eligible for the
conference meet. II is to be hoped that
worthington will be able to TAKE up a
point in either the mile or the two mile.
