Stanford "a, U. S. c. 4s


Stanford track and field athletes met
the u. S. c. track squad yesterday
afternoon and defeated the Angelenos
on their own field by a score of "A
to 4S.
The splendid showing made by the
Los Angeles athletes was most en-
couraging Notwithstanding they lost,
and Coach Dean Cromwell Is much
pleased considering the score which
was rolled up against them by the same.
team last year.
The weather was excellent, and there
was a large attendance from both U.
S. C. and Stanford to cheer their re-
spective candidates on to victory. The
U. s. c. students sat near a May
pole decorated in their college colors.
Long before the time for which the
meet was scheduled the students came
in both automobiles ana in wagonettes,
and it was estimated that there We're
fully 1000 students who saw the events.
There werc several exciting finishes.
Several of the students from u. 5. Z.
ran themselves out in endeavoring to
defeat the northern team. Scott, who
won the pole vault, sustained pain
full sprain of the left leg and was re-
moved to training quarters, where he
was treated.
Stanford was much stronger in the
field events than her opponents.
In the first race of the day, the mile
run, in which Scott of U. S. {. was
predicted to win first place, two Stan
ford men. McGregor and Fletcher,
won. and the local Marathoner was
forced to be content with third place.
The winners are new to the local rams
and show they probably will do some-
thing when they get up against hard
competition at Berkeley later on TINS
spring. Until the last lap all three
of the runners were punched, fighting
for the pole, and for a time 1t seemed
that the local runner would win, but
slowly both of the Cardinal men forged
ahead and crossed the line winners.
In the hundred-yard dash, Coleman
of Stanford got a good start and mn
ished an easy first, with Trotter ana
Martin of u. S. c. close upon his heels.
Coleman, who was captain of the Los
Angeles high school team last year.
seems to show as much II not more
speed than he did last year.
Coleman had no difficulty in winning
the 220-yard dash later on in the day,
and showed up even better than IN the
century. The furlong is undoubtedly
his race, as he has a stride that gives
him a big advantage in the longer race
Capt. Lennox of u. S. c. gave motifs
of Stanford the run of his life in the
that the judges had a long debate be-
fore the race was finally awarded TO
the northerner. w. H. Cline, formerly
of the Harvard school and good
hurdler. was unable to compete on ac-
count of an injured knee.
Miller and Wyman, both of Stanforu'
loafed all the way in the 440-yard dash.
and went across the line yards ahead
of Wallace, the nearest U. s. G. runner.
While attempting to clear the bar at
II feet 8 inches Scott of the Cardinals
severely sprained his ankle. Richard
son of q. S. c. had an off day in this
event and had to take a second place
in it, falling out before the ll-foot
mark was reached.
Burek and Lennox had an easy time
in taking from the northerners the first
and second places in the low sticks
and simply loafed in winners. Burek
win was quite surprise to the U. .
| c. followers, as it was generally cor
ceded Capt. Lennox was the best hurd-
Ter in the Methodist institution.
In the half mile John o. Miller came
to life, and after Newmire, the ioca
| crack, had led almost the entire diS'
tancc, he let out a sprint that the U. 5
C. man could not endure and fairly
flew across the tape a safe winner.
Hall of the U. S. C. team ran gritty
race in the two-mile, but was out
classed by the two Stanford "grinds,
Worthington and Newman. 4.
