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. The former record of 46 feet 100-YARD DASH, SECOND HEAT PURNELL (c), FIRST; BOWEN (c), THIRD; LACHMUND (s), SECOND; CLARK (c) FOURTH two hundred and fifty-six
