HIGH SCHOOLS in
Big field MEET
Pick of Young Athletes Line
Up on Stanford Oval Next
Saturday
By HERBERT HAUSER

Two more athletic meets will wind
up the interscholastic sport of this
spring. Next Saturday the Stan
ford interscholastic annual meet will
be held on the Palo Alto oval. and a
record breaking event is expected.
Berkeley. Oakland and San Jose high
schools are all figuring upon winning.
The excellent showing of the former
school in the bay counties meet and
the great work of the athletes of the
Garden City school in the Academic
league puts both of these organiza-
tions in prominent position for the
honors, while Oakland with it's stars
can be counted upon from start to
finish.
Berkeley high is relying upon Woods
to add to his laurels by capturing the
century event, with Rogers of Lick and
Cohn of Lowell his speediest OppO-
nents. Captain Frank Todd of Oak
land and Rogers of Lick are expected
to repeat their performance of last
Saturday in the furIong. Todd will
again appear in the quarter against
Cummings of Alameda. and every one
who saw the Bay Counties meet last
week viii not forget the record break
ing race these two youngsters ran.
Heison of Oakland should be able to
run under his record Of 2:0S of last
Saturday. and will have to in order to
carry off the half mile with honors-
Deming Maclise should capture both
the hurdle events, which will give him
an excellent chance for the prize for
the largest individual score, if he can
place in the high jump as we'll. His
tying of the United States interscho1-
astic high hurdle record in last Sat
urday's meet stamps him as the best
high school hurdler ever developed in
the state.
In the pole vault Young of Healds-
burg and Bangs and Smith of Oakland
appear to be the best men who win
participate, while in the high jump
Christianson of Alameda seems to be
all the class.
Brown and Villas. both from Berke-
ley, are good men in the weights,
though Rice. the Chico wonder. should
cinch the hammer and probably the
shot as well. His work with the ham
mer this year is the best that has been
seen since the days of Fred Estes,
holder of the Academic league record
of 1873 feet.
On account of the large entry list
all the preliminary trials of the meet
will be run off in the morning. which
will give the contestants a good chance
to rest up for the finals in the after
noon.
The Irish-Ameriean athletic club
meet will be held on Sunday May g. at
the Presidio athletic grounds. the en-
try blanks of which will be issued to-
day.
The Mutual Benefit association of the
local letter carriers has decided TO
join the Pacific athletic association
and. secure athletic recognition. 1t will
holt it's annual track and field meet on
July at Shell Mound park and will
offer some handsome prizes.
The new Tamalpais club will also
apply for membership at this week S
meeting of the association.
James K. Sullivan, secretary treas
urer of the Amateur athletic union. has
issued circular letter TO the board of
governors of the national organization,
in which he holds the Pacific associ-
alton as model for other assocfa tions
to follow.

BARNEY. OLDFIELD
star OF Big MEET
Speed Marvel viii Drive Benz
Buggy at ShrinerS' Auto
Races April 1874

With the work of overhauling Ingle
side track under way, entries for the
amateur events coming in fast and
every detail being attended to, the big
Shriners' auto meet scheduled for April
% and "a has assumed the proportions
of a national sporting event.
Barney Oldfield, with his magnificent
speed creation, the 200 horsepower Benz
racer, will be the star professional at
traction of the big meet, and the re-
ception promised the veteran, who in
the last year has done more than in all
the previous years of his racing career,
will equal any ever accorded profess
sional auto driver.
Oldfield's Benz racer, which will be
used in time trials only here, is the
same car that he drove a mile in
27 33-100 seconds on the sands of the
Florida east coast a few weeks ago.
Never before has any kind of a man
carrying machine travelled so fast and
1t is doubtful if ever again the feat will
be accomplished. Barney says that his
time was about the limit of speed that
human being can attain and remain
conscious.
Oldfield will not be the only profess
sional attraction by any means, as
there is a large delegation coming
from Los Angeles, who will enter in
every event that it is possible to get in,
and with every angle of the big pro-
gram considered, the meet gives every
promise of surprising anything of the
kind held on the coast since track
auto contests became popular.
The aim of the San Francisco Shrin-
ers in promoting the big meet is to
entertain the visiting Knight Templars
who will convene here in conclave
April Il to "a. Expense has never been
considered and every member of the
big order has taken off his coat and
pitched into work to do all in his power
to make the event a success.
The Shrine patrol, which was sent to
New Orleans to take part in the big
annual meeting of the Shriners, will
give an exhibition drill before the
regular racing program starts. There
will be numerous other features that
will add to the attractiveness of the
occasion, and the Shrine colors will be
in evidence everywhere during the two
days racing.
Tickets will be placed on sale at the
Shrine headquarters and at different
places downtown, as we'll as in Oak
land and San Jose. and special trans
portation facilities are being arranged
to handle the immense crowds that will
turn out for the events.

DEFEATS
INDIANS, 10 TO 6
VictOrs Robbed of Two Good
TOuchdOwns by Officials.

Providence, r. l., Nov. 2l.-In the most
spectacular game OF the season Brown
defeated the Carlisle Indian team on An
drews' Field to-day, 10 to 6. The In
dams put up a magnificent game, were
always dangerous, and none Of the 10000
spectators was sure of the winner until
the last period was over.
The worst officials ever seen at a
Brown game were busy from the start TO
finish. and two well-earned touchdowns
were taken away from the Hill men on
decisions that neither players nor spec
tators could fathom.
SpTackling was the bright particular
star for Brown. and in the first serim-
mage, behind beautiful interference,
broke around Carlisle's left end and
lodged and armed his way in a flying
dash OF 80 yards for touchdown. Then
Langford got busy and called the play
or and penalized Brown 10 yards for
holding.
Again. in the second period, after
Brown had carried the ball on line
plunges from It's own S3-yaFd line 20 the
Carlisle's l5-yard line. High tore through
the whole Carlisle team for a touchdown.
There was not a man within 10 yards of
him, but this time Bergen dropped. and
the Hill men were robbed of another
score.
