A wonderful opportunity for every
man and youth in Washington who
appreciates sound substantial saw
ings. We've got to clear out our
entire stock before the new spring
arrivals. No sacrifice is too great
TO effect this clearance at once, and
the reductions we're offering should
move out every one of these high

these wonderful values for yourself.

Plans for U. C. Track
Nearly Ready
[Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Call

BERKELEY. Nov. 2S.-For the last
two weeks a corps of engineers have
been at work on the site for the pro-
posed new track at the University of
California and their report will be
handed to the building and grounds
committee at the beginning of next
month. This report will be the out
come of the first actual work which
has been done on the new track.
Up to the. present time no official
report has been made, but the engi-
neers report that the track can be
built at financial outlay well within
the amount of the funds which have
been laid aside for the purpose.
The location of the new track will
give opportunity for unique and mex
pensive seating arrangements, while
the track itself will be one of the fin
est in the United States. Trainer Wal
ter Christie has devoted a great deal
of his time to a study of the construc-
tion of cinder tracks and his advice
has been invaluable TO the engineers
who are preparing the plans.
The new track will be quarter Of a
mile in length, with q 220 yard
straightaway, similar to that at Stan
ford. and will present every possible
facility for the comfort of the track
