STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 20.
With the freshmen intercollegiate meet
with California but a week away, the
attention OF the undergraduates of
Stanford university is naturally turned
to the outcome of this, the first inter-
collegiate brush of the season. The
chances of the cardinal babies have
been badly damaged by sickness within
the last few weeks.
1t is hard to gather much OF a line
on the local material. because of the
lateness of the season occasioned by
the rainfall of the first two months.
1t is probable, however, that outside
of the sprints and weight events Stan
ford will not develop any men who will
come close to scraping records In
deed, it is generally believed in inter
collegiate circles that the freshmen
meet this year will fall considerably
below the class of meets in the past,
as the blue and gold men are also said
to be none of the best.
The men who have shown up to ad-
vantage in the various events and who
will probably sport the cardinal will be
somewhat In the order which follows
In the sprints the 100 and 220 yard
dashes the particularly bright star is
Tom Coleman of the Los Angeles high
school, who has been running both dis
tances in great form. and is accredited
with 10 1-5 in the century and :23 fiat
IN the longer dash. He is at present
the best varsity man. He will be sec
onded by II. b. Sepulveda of Alameda
tura. The greatest loss of the cardinal
In. this event is Millsap, the promising
short and middle distance man, who
has been stricken with mumps.
In the quarter mile Millsap will again
be missed. but Wallach of Ukiah King
of Pasadena, Dickson of Stockton and
Kennedy of Pasadena will be the stand
bys.
The half mile will be weak event.
In Tom Sanborn Stanford had a good
man, who was picked to place Well, but
the ns mnmps Brown 5ns hoa91s an6 TeTn
of San Francisco will be the best men
IN this event from here. Levy is rum
ming well in the mile and whether he
can cover the half distance after the
longer race Is a question.
In the mile Levy will be the best
n11a,, man Ior the distance. The two mile
should be we'll cared for by W. E. New
Doron; ArreH and Whitney are Stan
Iords three men who are consistent
over both the low and high sticks.
IN the held events Stanford will have
zeal or untried talent Many of the
! performers have been developed by
Dad Moulton without any previous high
scnool training. In the high jump Do
ron and Van Dyke are clearing the bar
at little better than feet inches
Inc pole vault should be California
event If Vail is ready and fit. Stan
ford has Peak, who vaults less than il
! rect, and Van Duke. The broad jumI
Is to be left to Arrell and Haskett In
all probability
The weights are a source of pleas
ure to the track men. J. T.. Wooley OF
Santa Rosa is making good his fine
high school rep" and in heaving the
snot has reached a mark better thar
