BERKELEY, April FIN a contest
prolonged until dark the athletes OF
Stanford university won the annual
track and field meet from the Univer-
sity of California today, 66 to o.
Until Scott of Stanford took an UNI
expected first place in the pole vault
it was not possible to determine where
victory would perch, and, while Cali
fornia hoped against hope for tie
score. the Cardinal rooters cheered
their contestants on to the last event
in a desperate hope that materialized.
Stanford's victory was due in large
measure to the efforts of Coleman.
who won the 22O and the 100 yard
dashes and to Worthington and New
man, who took first and second places
in the two-mile run. Scott of Stan
ford who cleared IL feet 2 inches in
the pole vault, was responsible for
the fact that his university won by a
margin of ten points, and not by
scant one.
The Cardinal rooters. however, ac-
corded the greatest measure of acclaim
to ]. O. Miller, who won the half mile,
the 440-yard dash, helping team
mate to second place, and then
snatched the relay race from Califor-
mia after it seemed a foregone conclu-
sion for the Berkeley team.
The collegians succeeded in break
in the Stanford Berkeley series of
meets and two others were equaled.
Miller broke the record for the 440-
ward dash, Newman and Worthington
sprinted out the finish in the two-mile,
