Berkeley, Harold tombstone captain,

And it was one grand stunt at the
Y. M. G. A. last night. The big social
hall had all it could do to accommodate
all the spectators and then leave room
for the competitors. Everybody who
calls himself sportsman was there
and the various events were pulled off
with careful precision that did honor
to the noble array of judges, timers,
and the announcer.
The first event was the shot put. A
cup was filed with shot and the poor
innocents had to transfer the shot in a
teaspoon from the full cup to an empty
one. The latest time was made by
Broderick (Harvard) with tombstone
berkeley second. Time, l min. 9 SECS
The second spasm was mile walk.
The contestants were properly "hob-
bled." Honestly it looked as though
they were hog-tied but they managed
to propel themselves over the floor and
Ewing (Harvard) came in first with
Mott (Yale) second. Time, 43 seconds.
The third event was a quarter run.
Each runner had a nimble one-ouarter
of dollar which he trundled along
the floor for distance of about fifty
feet. Stacker (Stanford) was first and
,o+
taken. 1t was about four hours.
The Big Fun Starts.
The big fun started with the fourth
event. This was the 100-yard dash and
each contestant, with judge alongside
of him, had to count up to one hundred.
tombstone of Harvard had the quickest
breath and won out by blow from
Bicho of Yale Time, % seconds.
The hurdle race was the fifth and it
was a hummerinerino. The poor people
had to clasp their ankles tight and then
jump over pieces of string stretched
across the floor. 1t looked like a bunch
of grass hoppers trying to get away
from a plate of molasses. Honest Mis-
ter it did Squid Marcallino could hop
better n any of them; he was Yale
and Martinos of Harvard was second
Time, seconds.
oh, That Smile.
The piece de resistance was the smil
ing broad face or standing broad smile
or grin what grins can. Evans of Cali
fornia out smiled them all and was
raced to the pole at it by Soares who
was close second. Evans smile was
measured to come whiting one inch OF
meeting at the back of his neck. Soares
was one inch and three quarters shy
Time 2 minis. SO secs.
The hammer throw was a hot one
That hammer weighed exactly one
quarter of an ounce 1t was a pape,
bag full of Advertiser articles. No
not that-merely hot air. Some OF
those valiant throwers sent the ham
mer two inches, some less than that
Garden, of Yale. won with 10 feet and
Stacker, of Stanford, was second witt
a few inches less.
A Cardboard Discus.
The discus was great sport. The
discus was made of cardboard and
some of them could not get it away
at all. kirkpatrick made a first fol
Berkeley by sending it the full length
of the room. Delanux of Stanford was
second.
The 220 dash was adding ND a row
of figures that amounted to 22O and
Colby got wise and COPIED first plact
for Harvard. Bush was second fol

Mott won the standing high reach
