MARSHALL FIELD, CHICAGO,
June 5.-The University of Illinois cap
tured the western track and field cham
pionshp today by winning the ninth
annual conference meet with total
of &c points. Leland Stanford was sec
ond with 26 points, and the University
of Chicago third with 81 points. Fol
lowing are the scores of the other
teams:
Wisconsin, 70; Jerdue 6; Minnesota,
8; Michigan, 3; Colorado, 5; Western
Reserve and Miami 4; Indiana and
Notre Dame, 8; Knox and Iowa l.
Northwestern, Ripon, Lake Forest and
Beloit failed to score.
The Illinois team was by far the
best balanced aggregation and clinched
the meet by winning the relay race
from Chicago.
When the relay race was started
Illinois had 81 points and Stanford 26.
Victory for the Pacific coast athletes
would have won the championship for
Stanford, but the first two runners,
Stoltz and Scott, dropped so far be-
hind it Was impossible for the speedy
Miller and w man to put the team
back into the running.
Stanford Men Stars
Illinois scored in all but four of the
fifteen events. Leland Stanford's men
had more individual stars than any
other team, as they took five fr5ts.
Stanford won the 440 yard dash, the
half mile the pole vault, the hammer
throw and the shot put.
Two Stanford athletes, Crawford and
Miller, won individual honors with ten
points each.
Crawford won the shot put and ham
mer throw, while Miller captured the
Ouarter and half mile runs.
No records were broken Crawford
came within two and one-quarter
inches of equaling the record of Ralph
Rose in the shot put when the Stan
ford man showed the weight 46 feet 10
inches. Another good performance was
recorded by Miller of Stanford when
he ran the half mile in 200 80
Chicago stock took a tremendous
boom in the early part, when Straub
scored an unexpected victory in the
100 yard dash in easy fashion in 10 15.
His team mate finished third, and this
gave Chicago six points in this event,
chicago's Star Beaten
Chicago was in the running until
the two mile run was decided. Stoplet,
it's star distance runner, was counted
on as a certain winner in this event.
Stoplet took the lead, but Tillotson of
Michigan Agricultural at the beginning
of the sixth lap jumped to the front
and won the race by large margin.
The quarter mile run was easy for
Miller of Stanford, but Hanley, the
captain of the victorious Illinois team,
nosed out Wyman of Stanford for sec
and place. The half mile was another
feather in Miller's cap as he easily
defeated Hull of Minnesota and Roher
of Illinois.
The pole vault wa. another Stanford
triumph, Scott taking the honors. He
vaulted II feet 10 inches and tried TO
do better in an exhibition after the
event, but failed.
Rogers of Chicago and Graham and
Jones of Illinois tied for third.
