Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. IL
Since the series of games which the
Stanford varsity is about 70 n1av With
the Vancouver Rugby aggregation dur-
ing the Christmas vacation will mark
the close OF the football season. atten
uon is beginning to turn TO the track
outlook, and the chances of a cardinal
victory next spring are being anxfously
inquired upon. On looking over the field
the Stanford enthusiasts can not bur
reel that the chances are excellent for
a repetition of the outcome of the meet
last spring
There are at present Ia point winners
or the victorious team of last year eli
g1ble to compete. Besides this an ex-
cellent lot of new material is in sight
and with the nucleus of veterans Cap
tain Bellah feels that California will
nave to develop a record breaking lot
to annex the long end of the score.
Coleman will again be the man upon
whom the Stanford supporters will de-
pend in the sprints. and it is difficult
to see where Berkeley has any one to
head the lengthy junior in these events.
1t is possibl that California's speed
marvel, Wood, the freshman from
berkeley, may put UP strong bid for
the 100 yard event but his competition
is not feared here in any other short
distance event. H Smitherum II. r.
W. Wilcox '13 and r. P. Geissler IA
must be counted on strongly in these
events also
AS Wyman is credited with close to
40 seconds in the quarter. California
can scarcely hope to head the, Stanford
man. r. B. Carter -, c. c. Taylor II,
J. H. Thoburn 13 and H. W. Dawson '13
are fast and reliable men in this event
and are depended upon for second and
third places, although it is possible
that Carter and Taylor will be saved
for the relay race.
Stanford will be rather weak in the
mile and half mile events unless the
cross country men furnish some good
material during the season. J. B. Leh-
man IS and N. r. Ferguson Is have
run the half mile in good form but last
year did not have quite the requisite
amount of staying powers to finish
strong in this hard event. They have
| been training hard, however, and may
spring surprise this year L. II. Price
13 must be counted upon in the mile,
| both on account of the fine showing
last year when he ran second to the
speedy California representative. Saxon.

that he is showing steady Improvement
K. F. Lee, who was the Stanford rep

summer. is reliable man who has

the pack in this event
With Newman, who has twice won
the two mile event in intercollegiate
meets, once in record time, and Worth

| Stanford will be able to put up a strong
competition for a majority of points in
the field events with such men as X. l..
| Dole IL, J. r. Wooley II and C.. E
Olmstead 13 to count upon. Dole and
Wooley have already shown that they
are point winners, while Olmsted comes
with a prep school record in this de-
partment.
In the high jump H. l. Horine Is
and w. NJ. Argabrite 10 are capable
of doing somewhat better than feet

meet and should be fully able to repeat

are W. E. Gatewood II and c. L. Boul-

than II feet inches, and ought to be
