Only Dangerous Northwest
Team

washington State drew third place
!. Tho annual Pacific Coast confer
.noo meet held in Seattle on the U.
i w field last Saturday afternoon.
rho University of California took
trst place, with 531a points, and
sanford University was next with 3S
,olies. washington State placed an
sasy third with 301A points, while
oregon Aggies, with 241s points, and
,ha IT. of W., with 1917 counts, fin
ished fourth and fifth respectively.
The u. of o. made but nine points
their star half-miler, Abbott, being
unable to compete.
True to the forecasts, the southern
teams carried off the honors, al
though given acute competition by
Washington State College, by far the
mightiest aggregation from the
Northwest. Coach Boilers proteges
frequently threatened the California
honors and outstripped the best the
University of Washington or the two
Oregon teams could show.
No new records were rung up in
the six-cornered battle, no doubt due
to the soggy base material under the
cinder surface With competition at
blood heat in practically every event
on the track, the college men gave
the 1000 fans gathered in the grand
stand the greatest thrills at the fin
ishes that have been held in Seattle
for many years. Interstate rivalry
and the old feeling between the north
and the south on the coast brought
out the best every cinder man had
to show
Howell Wins High Hurdles
Howell won the 120-yard high
hurdles and was running in great
form. Wells of Stanford was dis
qualified by officials on account of
upsetting an excess number of hur-
dies.
Parker Places in 44O
Maynard and Scofield both af
Stanford, placed first and second in
the quarter and Parker nosed out
Capt Gray of the U, of W. for third
place.
The 220-yard low hurdles went to
Wells of Stanford and Howell, stel-
lar hurdler for Washington State,
had second place cinched but suf-
lered from bad luck and fell on the
last hurdle.
"Jit'' Smith Wins Two-Mile
Jlt" Smith, veteran Washington
state distance man and holder of the
conference record, had no difficulty
"a finishing half a lap ahead of his
running mate, Capt Phillips, who in
turn left Davis, U. of W., far in the
rear for third place.
The mile was one of the most
spectacular races of the day and en-
Tered were the best distance men on
the coast. Swan of o. A. C. placed
llrst and Phillips of w. S. c. finished
fourth, beating out Mcdonald of the
U. of w.
Hatchford took third in the $50
'aru run and although the race was
a. the mercy of the U. of c., he
passed the best men from the U. of
W. and Stanford.
Aing, the big Washington State
"eisht man, upheld his end of the
sOmpetltlon and sprung a surprise
" placing in the hammer throw,
SINCE he never threw the hammer in
college
