school athletes snatched victory from
their Oakland rivals by half point
Not until the relay was over was the
victory decided. and even then there
was doubt cast on the result by Oak
land protesting foul by Berkeley on
Todd in the second lap of the relay,
which Referee Walter Christie would
not allow.
The Berkeley high team is a well
balanced aggregation and is about the
best team 1 have ever seen that school
turn out. With the exception of the
quarter. shot. broad and pole the red
and gold scored in every event. Kern
proved to be Berkeley's star man by
taking both hurdle races, lowering the
record in the high event by two-fifths
of a second

the mile by Hartwell clipping off three
seconds from his former record; two
fifths of a second off the 120 hurdles
by Kern. and four-fifths of a second
off the relay by the Oakland team.
Campbell tied the 100 yard record of
10 Is.
Mike Smith, the little Oakland high
school all around athlete, proved to be
the star of the meet by winning two
markable burst of speed the relay for
his school making a third Of the
points scored by his school and coming
out of it all the freshest athlete in the
entire meet.
Hartwell ran his usual heady race in
the mile, and at no time was he in any
danger

hard pressed by Maclise, who has been
suffering from blood poisoning and
