and should run around iaat time at
Palo Alto.
Those four men will net oJ points
The other man on whom the Tro ians
are banking is Ed House. sprint star
/ House is rated for either six on
eight counters. There is only one
( other man i'm the conference who is
faster in the SprintS and that is Bill
Barber, captain of the California
/ Bears. This, of course, figures Rus
sell Sweet of Montana as being
slightly slower than House but Sweet
! may surprise. If House takes second
! in the 100 and 220 he will bring six
points But he may win the furlong
since Barber has not shown so well
IN that race. House has run 2I 4
I seconds this season.
There are the 80 points for these
five men. How will Southern Cali
fornia score the other pointsa For
one thing HerSchcl smith ought to
place third and at least fourth in
the 100 and third in the 300. He is
national Junior \. \. L. champion
and did 9.S seconds to gain that
title last year. Southern California
figures him three points, with two
m the 220 and one in the century.
That makes 33 points.
The 300 is not without another
threat in the form of one johnny
Parsons, who has been beaten bv
only Smith and House on the coast
tins year. Parsons is figured to
take fourth in the furlong which
adds up some 81 points.
Now revert to the hurdles. Ron
aid Stever, who had Il pulled muscle
at the time of the California and
Stanford meets, will be in condition
aud should take u second or third to
Dye in the l20 yard barriers. He
placed third at the intercollegiates
last year. Then Cliff Reynolds. Tro-
Jan sophomore hurdler. will undoubt,
edly place. At the worst. the Tro-
jams should take third and fourth
which brings the total to 81 points.
Percy NierShach is the fourth best
ssU man on the coast. Charter of
Washington will place with Richard
SON of Stanford and Boyden of Cali /
'ornia. This gives Nicrsbach lone
1ont bnt it counts another notch !
md brings the imaginary total TO I
IS.
In the shot Joe Aleksi is probably .
he fourth best man ON the coast. /
iouser should win with Gerkin of /,
'alifornia and Hoffman Of Stanford
II the other two sports. That leaves |
me marker open for Joe and this /
means total of 80 points.
With great field of high Jump |
RS in competition, the Trojan leap /
RS will not get far but there is n /
nance that Alden Ross and Henry
,oggeshail may spring a surprise. If |
hey do, Southern California ought
o get something like two points !
which will make a probable total of !
II points.
That names l3 men for the trip.
Reynolds will enter the broad jump
ind may bring in one point there.
# he does the total will % up once /
more
f0drteen men make the trip. The ,
'ther Trojan will probably be a 40 I
yard man. II vii do him no good to /
inter the 440 with Stanford running
Miller, Storie and Babcock and /
'alifornia using Talbot, but he viii /
serve as the relay team. That is, he /
viii be fourth man. Coach Dean F.
'romwell will start Niersbach. then
lse Grumbles, then Parsons and then ,
he quartermiler, either Bruce Smith
# Charles Sauers. That team ought /
o run third TO Stanford and Cali Z
-ornia in that order. Which, in !
'luding all the 'ifs" bring the I
cunt up to A points. (
That will win but the Trojans are I
rot banking too strongly on every I
iing turning out as stated.
