California vs. Olympic Glut IN THE LAST COMPETITION before the Big Meet with Stanford, the Olympic Club was defeated by the Varsity on April 7 by a score of 70 to 47. California took nine first places and the Olympic Club six, all on the track. The best race of the day was between Blanchard of the Varsity and Stout of the Olympic Club. Stout won by inches in the time of 1 :59. Vlught, Olympics, won the two-mile in 9:50 1-5. Jackson cleared 23 feet inches in the broad jump and 6 feet 2 2 inches in the high jump. California vs. Southern California All-Stars THE VARSITY DEFEATED the Southern California All-Stars on March 31 by a score of 78 to 38} o- Fast times and good distances were regis- tered in all events, but the showing of the All-Stars was disappointing. With the exception of the hurdles and sprints and one or two field events they rarely pressed the Blue and Gold entrants. On the field California annexed 35 out of a possible 45 points. The best performance of the day was Grunsky ' s win in the high hurdles over Fred Kelly, former world ' s record holder, in the fast time of :15-1. He also won the low hurdles in :24-4. Sullivan won the mile but was disqualified on a foul. Purnell won the 200-yard dash in 23 flat and came second in the 100-yard dash. Moody romped home in the quarter in :51-2, with Pitts and Kerr second and third. Blanchard won the half in 2 minutes flat. Lamport of the All-Stars won the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet 2 inches. Maurer ' s tie with Nichols in the pole vault was the only first place taken by the visitors. After the meet was over, Captain Nichols cleared 6 feet 3 inches in the high jump, and Liversedge put the shot 46 feet 9 inches, in exhibitions in their events.

Stanford-California Meet BY A SCORE OF 67 to 55 Stanford won its fifth straight cinder-path vic- tory in the annual track and field meet held on California oval on April 14. The date was originally set for April 21, but it became necessary to bring it forward a week following the declaration of war with Germany. Prac- tically every member of Stanford ' s track team and a large number of the Blue and Gold athletes were members of the Officers Reserve Training Corps and were ordered to be ready to report for duty at any time. Stanford displayed unusual strength in the field and may attribute her victory to an unexpected eight points in the shot-put, when Liversedge had a reversal of form and lost to Bihlman and Caughey, and first and second places in the pole vault. The Cardinal scored 42 points on the track to California ' s 30, and 21 points in the field to the Varsity ' s 25. The calcula- tions were upset in many events on both track and field. Two California-Stanford records were broken and two more were tied, despite the fact that the track was slowed up to some extent by a heavy shower in the morning. J. P. Jackson of California bettered the broad jump record made by Dawson of Stanford in 1913 by one inch when he leaped 23 feet 8 inches. Bihlman of Stanford broke the shot-put record when he heaved the lead 47 feet 8 inches.
