MOULTON WORRIES
FOR CARDINAL
SQUAD
Wek Weather Keeps Him From
Getting a Line on New
Material

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 20
The athletic situation at Stanford uni
versity is critical because of the con-
tinued wet weather Trainer Dad
Moulton is becoming worried. Not
only is it hard to get in any time to
train his new material but many men
who would otherwise come out for
places have been discouraged. Re-
Gently he made an appeal through the
columns of the local college paper for
more men. He tells of the lack of
men in the field events in particular.
In the pole vault, where Stanford had
two coast record holders at the start
now any man who is sure of taking a
first place, or even second. Again in
the broad jump another coast record
man has left the ranks and the second
and third best are likewise missing
This leaves Dad with the task of find
ing among the trackmen material
suited for the long leap.
In the first meet of the season, held
this week. some few jumpers were en-
tered. OF this number II. r. Stolz, a
senior who was credited with good
performances in this event in his
freshman year, went out for between
2I and % feet w. NJ. Rawles is also
slated a. q likely man for this event,
though al present he has broken down.
The high jump is without any. sea-
Soned men. Dad" is trying out fresh
men here and is putting in an espe-
cially large amount of time, he
believes he has at hand men who are
without any form or experience, but
who can be taught to clear the bar at
heights that will make many open their
eyes and DO their best to beat them.
The weights will be the strong
point of the cardinal makeup this year.
In these events Captain Harry Horton,
Babe" Crawford, Youker and Wolley,
a freshman from Santa Rosa, are all
doing we'll Horton is the best man in
the shotput, while Crawford and
hammer throw Crawford is hurting the
iron ball for long throws. He won
the hammer throw event at the Chi
cago conference met last summer and
is being ably seconded by Youker and
Wooley.
on the track Stanford viii be short
first class sprinter unless Jasper
Holman, the fleet footed Rugby wing,
can be- coaxed to come back to the
branch of athletics in which he origi-
nally made good.
the intercollegiate event and record
last year. is in fine form. as is Nc
Gregor. who qualified for a third place.
In the two mile Billy Adams is in good
trim.
The hurdles will be a bone of con-
tention for the best of California and
OF Stanford. Horton is the first repre-
sentative of Stanford, while Gregg.
Morris and Peaslee are likely men.
J. o. Miller. Rawles. Coonan. Wyman
and Morris are likely relay and quarter
mile runners of the upper classes,
while several freshmen have been
showing ability and may rank well
when the season has progressed.
Strict training among the trackmen
will not be observed until the first of
next month, AS many of the trackmen
have been out for Rugby il has not
been deemed advisable by Dad Moul-
ton to put the men through too rigid
work a. present. The only restrictions
now are against smoking and late
hours. The men are allowed to attend
the college dances up TO d certain hour.
After March i. however, all these fea :
lures of the college life will have to
