ATHLETICS BACK HOME TO
 ENTER SPORTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27-Recent reports received from the University of California and Stanford University indicate that athletic officials antici. pate a return to normal pre-war con- d1tions with respect to track and field athletics. With the demobilizing cf the American army, students who joined the colors rapidly are return ing to again take up their studies. Among these are many of the athletes whose absence forced a suspension ot activities owing to lack of suitable material with which to form teams.
 Both institutions have made public i their spring track and field programs and they practically show return to the full schedule made up before the entry of the United States into the war. Three record-holders, sixteen veterans of former track teams and fifteen members of last years fresh man team, for instance, is the neu- cleus on which the University of Cali fornia will build it's varsity reprcsen- tation for the 1919 season
 At Stanford prospects for a strong team are conceded to be exceedingly good. Captain-elect Reginald Caubhey has returned from service and already is practicing with the weights. Guar ter-milers who are limbering up on the cinder paths are Maynard, Miller, Wilkie, Hertel and Wright. Other veterans back in harness include Lilly, Wells, Dinkelspiel, Teitsworth and Westwick, the last named being the winner of the last California-Stan- ford cross-country run.
 The University of California student daily writes enthusiastically of the out look. Eugene Lloyd, star two-miler, Karl Goeppert, 440-yard ru9ner, and William Jackson, broad jumper, are the three particular stars with which the Blue and Gold will start out. Other veterans likely to score in- clude Captain Johnson, winner of last years 220-yard dash, and Purnedd, Thomas, Hutchinson and Cantelow, all of them capable of doing 10 sec onds flat in the 100-yard dash. The hurdles will be taken care of by Ar thur Dunne, Tupper, Nulands, Mohr, Mini and Packard. Long distance runners include Sprott, Roach and Spindt.
 The annual duel meet of t1e- two in stitutions will be held on the field of the University of California at Berke- ley on May 3.
 Due to much continuously fine weather, a great deal of preliminary outdoor work has been done by the team candidates at both institutions.
 LOS ANGELES, Feb. Southern California athletes are already re- turning from the army in such mum. bers as to make certain a great re vfvaI of interest in college sports this spring.
