OAKLAND HIGH IS
OUT FOR HONORS>
Transbay School Promises ia
Show Up Strong in Coming
Athletic Meets

Now that the basket ball season has
been brought to a close. and with the
bay counties field day but two weeks
off. the track team of Oakland high
school seems completely rejuvenated-
Up to a week ago several of the best
trackmen in the school had been de-
voting their entire efforts to basket
ball.
Now that this game is over for the
season. Maclise. Smith and Russell will
be out every afternoon with Captain
Todd and his squad in preparation for
the Bay Counties league and the Dig
Stanford meet. The first event will be
held on April with the Palo Alto af-
fair two weeks later.
Three stellar athletes are missing
from the white and blue squad this
spring The absence of Heartwell Cole
and Melvin would tend to indicate
severe setback for the chances of the
Jefferson street Institution But the
school will look to such men as Todd.
Maclise and Smith TO make up almost
entirely for the absence of the three
other athletes.
lit has been a long time since the
high schools in these parts have de-
veloped such valuable and versatile
athletes as MacliSe and Smith. Maclise
runs DOLn nlSn ana low nurQleS ana
high jumps, and almost invariably fol-
lows these events with cracking good
race in the relay.
Mike" Smith is another all around
trackman. He starts with the so yard
dash, and finishes with what is usu-
ally the greatest race of the day-the
last lap of the relay-and manages to
slip in on the pole vault together with
a like position in the broad jump.
Captain Todd is running in great
form this season and may be looked to
to tear off some exceptional performs
ances in the 22O yard dash and the 440
yard affair.
In the half mile the team has in
Heisen what many regard as a ffrse
place man. His work this season has
been above his mark OF last term. Mills
may represent the school in the mile
Baxter and Hoff are showing much
class in the 100 yard dash, and Meillett,
the midget sprinter, is eating up Short
distances.
The makeup of the relay team has
not been definitely decided upon.
From now on Captain Todd will
abandon the Sixteenth street track and
the entire squad will work out at
Berkeley on the university oval every
afternoon

VETERAN ANXIOUS
TO SEE BIG BOUT
RiCkard Hears From Man Who
Fought With Father i'm
Civil War

When a man jumps into the center
of the stage of sportdom his fame be-
comes widespread and everybody be-
gins to talk about him. This is the
way Tex Rickard looks upon it any
how, for he is coming in contact with
more people in every walk of life than
he ever dreamed Of The latest to get
a line on Tex is an old civil war vet
eran who fought with his father at the
battle of Bull Run. The battle SCARED
warrior thought that the Rickard fam
lily was extinct till he heard of Tex
and now he's so tickled to death that
he will take a brace and come out to
see the big fight
The veterans name is j. d. English
and he lives in Renfrow, Okla. Rick
ard received long letter from him the
other day and as he perused it the tears
came to his eyes, for the old soldier
brought back to the promoter the
tender memories ofShis boyhood days,
of his father and mother and the
friends of his youth, many Of whom
have long since departed.
English refers to the days when he
and Richards father were young fell
lows, working together on a farm in
central Illinois. In stirring words he
brings back to memory the battle cry
that sounded the death knell of so
many brave wearers of the blue and the
gray. He tells how he and Rickard Sr.
responded to the call and fought side
by side at the battle of Bull Run. Eng
lish thought that Rickard was killed
and buried on the bloody battlefield.
for he never heard of his comrade
again.
But he did hear about Tex and his
curiosity was aroused. He started an
investigation and he gathered several
clews which led him to believe that the
far famed fight promoter was the son
of his old time friend whom he believed
gave up his life for his country in one
of the first great battles of the war be-
tween the north and the south.
Il am glad, my boy, that you are do
ing SO well and upholding the name of
your brave father" writes the old SOL
dier. From what / can learn you are
a chip of the old block / know that
you will succeed in this great UNDER
taking, for you have the lighting blood
in your veins and you are not afraid to
go ahead and take chance with any
of them.
I'm pretty old man now, but / am
going to see that fight If God will spare
me till the fourth of July / want to
see Jeffries knock that coon's head off
and l know that he's going to do it. If
Jeffries Is beaten then I never want to
hear of another prize fight. But he
won't be beaten If he is anything like
the man he used to be-"
Rickard is going to put the old sill
dier in special box seat by the ring
side and there he may stand up or Sit
down and cheer for the white man to
his hearts content. Tex intends to pay
the old soldier visit during his trip
east and issue him special Invitation
to be his guest at the greatest Of all
fights.
