seconds.
On the same day Kelly ran 200 yards
in Pills seconds, equalling Bernie
Wefers record made years ago. In
letter from Baker City yesterday, Dan

the winter in prospect of long sea-
son on the track He says that the
leg he injured in Seattle two years ago
which gave him so much trouble last
year, and which prevented him from
running in the sprints at London
shows no traces of the old hurt. He
says he believes he will be better than
ever in his career, when he dons II
Multnomah uniform.
Dan Pleased at Captain.
Kelly is greatly pleased with the Sc
lection of Forrest Smithson as cap
tain of the Multnomah track team

STANFORD WINS TRACK MEET.

LOS ANGELES, March 1.-THE
Stanford university track and field
team won the meet from the UNIVERSE
ty of Southern California athletes at
Boyard field this afternoon by the de-
cisive score of "A to 4S. The Northern
ers took IL first, eight seconds ana
four thirds. The U. S. C. boys took
three firsts and five seconds.
With the possible exception of the
to be the exciting event of the day
Martin, Trotter and Roberts, toed the
mark for U. S. c. with Coleman, a
freshman at Stanford and a last year
graduate from the Los Angeles high
school,
Starter Hamilton's gun did not work
properly and the click of the trigger
sent all of the southerners from the
scratch. Coleman waited and Referee
Reynolds ordered the event run over.
Coleman won the next race and the
time of 1915 seconds, which was eX-
actly the time made by Martin in the
first heat, Martin finishing second with
Tro.ter third.
Although Coach Cromwell protested
against the re-running of the race, the
referee thought it the only way out
of the difficulty Scott of Stanford won
the pole vault and equaled the southern
California record of II feet inches

ed to get under that mark this year.
Among its members at the Oregon
Agricultural college who will aid the
team are Carl Wolff, the shot-putter;
Hall, the hammer thrower, and Chap
man, the high jumper. Other members
of the club now out of college who
have said they will help are Henry
Mckinney, the coast champion in the
shot put; Gordon Moores, the old Ore
gon hurdler; George Hug, a weight
man; Floyd Williams, the greatest
quartermile man that ever came out
of the west; Ben GreenshaW, who
kicked dust in the eyes of Andy Glar-
ner last year, and Hold Davalt, the
phenomenal long distance runner.

London, last August, all three were
granted life memberships in the Multi
nomah club, and Kelly asserts that his
place is with the club in it's future
contests.
Al Gilbert, who has been an inferno
in the New Haven hospital during the
winter, has written to the club that

Gilbert is a product of the local Or
ganization. He first became prominent
in northwestern athletics by estab-
fishing a pole vault record of IL feet
"a inches while a student at Paci-
fc university. He afterwards went to
Yale and it was while there that he
scared the unheard of height of y
feet 1874 inches, making new
worlds record. AS a member of The
American team at London, he vaulted
II feet and 2 inches which tied E. T..
Cook of Cornell for first place. Gill
bert's jump was made in competition,
while that Of Cook was established
jumping alone. Gilbert might have
gone over 13 feet, as he did at prac-
tice one week before the meet, but
for the fact that the English refused
to allow him to dig a hole in which to
set his pole. Gilbert has been train
ing the Yale pole vaulters all win
ter and reports from the east are to
the effect that he is going around the
worlds record right now.

can be banked on to win the 120yard
hurdle race from anybody in the
world In addition to his hurdling, he
is a fast sprinter and will undoubted-
~ bring in points for Multnomah in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes.
Among the athletic clubs in the
west which will participate in the
meet at Seattle will be the Irish
American and the New York Athletic
clubs of New York; the Chicago Ath-
letic association and the Illinois Ath-
letic club of Chicago and the Denver
athletic club. All these can be ex-
pected to send strong teams. The ri
valry between the two New York and
two Chicago clubs is intense They
can be expected to send their very
best men to compete in Seattle.
The club as in past years will draw
on it's membership in the colleges of

In looking over the teams of the year
it is a noticeable feature that the

Moore Is Ready.

Moore, captain of the o. A. c. team,
is given one forward position, princi-
pally on account of his heady playing.
He has the knack of scoring from his
second and third attempts at the bas-
ket. Two many forwards seem to
think they have done their whole duty
when they shoot at the basket once
and fail to follow up their shots. At
times in a game Moore apparently
takes things easy, but he has the hap
py faculty of getting into the game
with a rush at the time when it counts
the most.
Barnes, the Spokane boy, captain and
center of the Whitman team, is given
the other forward position. On ac-
count of the scarcity of center material
he was forced to play center the last
season, and performed creditably
against big odds, but he is a natural
forward and would make a good run.

Plenty Of Centers.

In picking the center man three
good men are eligible. They are Put
nam, w. S c.; Hamilton, o. A c., and
Montgomery, Idaho. They are all big
and fast Montgomery is shifted to
guard on account of his dribbling abil-
ity. Putnam and Hamilton are both
stars and ideal men for the position.
Putnam is given the place on account
of his foul throwing ability and be-
cause Hamilton costs his team too
many points from fouls called on him.
For the guard positions Pugh of o.
A. G.. is first choice. He is strong and
aggressive and makes few mistakes OF
Judgment In covering his man he is
an adept. Montgomery of Idaho is the
fastest man in the bunch and the best
dribbler. Although he has played CEN
ter all year he has shown guarding
ability of class and would make a good
running mate for Pugh.
