Miller, Brown and Stanton Are
Stars of Sensational
Track Contests
By Herbert HauSer

The sixteenth annual intercollegiate
field day between California and Stan
ford universities yesterday afternoon
saw the 440, $50 and mile records
shattered and the 120 yard hurdles and
220 yard dash times tied.
While the track was the fastest
have ever seen. the starting of most OF
the races. especially in the short dis
tances. was exceedingly poor. probably
due to the lack of practice in that work
by Bert Kerrigan and Ollid Snedigar,
who handled the guns. Had lthey pen
allied the men who broke first it
would probably have discouA ged the
later infractions. Crossfield III the loo
and Paul in the 220. each lost yard
stanford had the class which won
them the meet, John o. Miller, VIII
liam NJ. Wyman, T. L. Coleman and
Babe" Crawford are a quartet that
would be hard to beat anywhere. NIL
ler's remarkable fast half, in which he
clipped l 1-5 seconds off the record
made by his teammate of last year,
Brown, after he had run killing
quarter, stamped himself as one of the
/ fastest half milers in the world today.
Had this lanky cardinal athlete run
the half only he could undoubtedly
have bettered his time fully three sec
onds and maybe more.
Wyman is today the best quarter
I
coast. He succeeded in lowering Stan
tons record a fifth of a second, and is
capable of even bettering that time. To
Miller and Wyman the credit of the
victory in the relay belongs, for Cali
/ fornia's first men gave the blue and
gold a lead Of so yards, which put the
ttheir mouths until Miller, with his
enormous stride, the like of which /
| have never seen before, gradually de-
creased Cheney's lead and left his

Butler.
TIES HIS OWN RECORD
Captain CowIes of California ran in
! rare form and tied his intercollegiate
J record held by himself. The hurdles
were Californias strongest point, it
winning all the points in both OF these
Freshman Coleman was the class in
the sprints, and though pressed in the
100, had the furlong event all to him
self, tying the coast intercollegiate
record at that distance, and giving
stanford her first win in the 100 yard
race since Jack McCaughran won it
Mum was a great disappointment to
Il the Berkeley boys, and did not show
what he is capable of doing.
ii Crawford succeeded In winning both
the weight events with but little
