ONLY THIS WILL ENABLE THEM

SOUTHERN ATHLETES READY TO
FIGHT EVERY INCH
Track Meet Saturday Afternoon Prom
ises to Be Holly Contested
In Every Event Of
the Card

Fourteen track and field athletes,
representing the pick of the Stanford
SQUAD, will compete against the Uni
versity of Southern California track
men on Bovard field tomorrow after
noon. The northern squad Will be ac-
companied on the trip by Trainer
Moulton and Manager Burbank.
Although this number of represen-
tatiyes of the northern institution rep
resents but small percentage of the
entire track squad of that college, IL
is made up of the cream of the north-
ern school athletes and the cardlnal
squad is relying on the NUMBER Oh
firsts they expect to annex to win the
meet. With some of Coach CromWelis
cracks working at their best form'
such as Troppe, Lennox, Richardson
and Trotter. the number of firsts cap
tured by the northerners may dwindle
to a losing score, as second and third
points, in a track meet, total strong III
the final totals.
According to the arrangement OF en-
tries in the different events of the
northern squad, Tom Coleman and
Smitherum will compete in the sprints.
Coleman recently covered the 220-yard
dash in the fast time of % 10 sec
he repeat the performance. But
Troope, under favorable circumstances,
should press the northern entry in this
race, as the youngster, as yet has not
been pressed to his best at this dis
tance and he may prove dark horse
when running side by side with such
n fast man as Coleman. In the century
dash Troope has an equal chance, from
the speed he has shown in past per-
f,Yts either N
entries.
Wyman, who first gained reputa-
tion as a. 440-yard man at Santa Bar
bara, will be the cardinal entry in
that event and as he has covered the
distance in so seconds, he should have
no trouble in breaking the tape. Angus
Johnson of Cotton is the northern in
stitution's hope in the half-mile event,
and as he has the reputation of ne
gotiating the distance in two minutes
fiat, it seems that their hopes are well
founded, as Cover the u. S. c. repre-
sentative, is not any too strong in this
event.
Cardinals Best at Distance
For the distance runs, Porter and
Newman will compete for the visitors.
The former covered the mile in four
minutes and four seconds recently and
Newman holds the intercollegiate rec
ord over the two-mile route of ten
minutes and nine seconds. There
seems to be no question as to the re-
suit in these two events, still there is
the chance of a bad stomach and
broken leg.
When it comes to the hurdle stunt,
the u. S. G. aggregation will have
chance to climb few points on the
visitors, as Eugene Kern of Pasadena,
who will compete in these events for
the northerners, is none too strong and
| it takes a strong hurdler to show his
heels to such a climber as LennoX.
The U. S. c. should make a good gain
in this event.
Scott and Bellah are the visiting
pole Vaulters and both are reported to
clear the bar close to twelve feet With
Richardson at his best, this match
should result in a pretty exhibition,
with chances equally divided as to the
! final outcome. Richardson figures in
| this event from his performance in the
| u. S. C.-Occidental meet, when he
cleared the bar at IL feet and 91a
inches, which set new Southern Cali
| fornia record.
HORNE and Argabrite will do the
! high jumping under the cardinal coll
ors and both clear the bar at six feet.
| AS Walberg, who will represent the
| local institution in this event. failed
to do better than five feet and eight
ane one-quarter inches, when COM
| peting against Wieman of Occidental,
it looks very much like another first
place for the visitors
Stolz is the broad jumper with the
northerners and is reported to make
the leap consistently around the twen-
! ty-one-foot notch. having covered the
distance of twenty-one feet and ten
inches. Stolz. jumping in this form,
should have no trouble in defeating
Goodsell and Decius.
When it comes to the shot put, an
other hard struggle for supremacy
should result, as Horton, who will hurl
the shot for the cardinals at his best
does by forty-four feet and Trotter
hurled the heavy pill thirty-three feet
and five and three-quarter inches when
competing against Thompson of Occi-
dental recently. Trotter is good bet
in this event
