MCCLISE POGUE SCHWEIN IRLAND WISSMAN VAN ATTA HE track men this year were some- I what handicaped at the beginning of the season, due to the bad weather conditions that prevailed over the entire State. For this reason and also due to the fact that a large number of our men have had little experience in track work, our first few meets were not victorious for us. However, these meets were only premilinaries, and by the time that the finals came around, the Farm boys had had sufficient training, which enabled them to win almost every meet. The Farm this year has been fortu- nate in having the entire cooperation of the U. C. men. Many of these men have been well represented on the track team, as well as in other activities. In years to come, there will be more school spirit than there ever has been before, with every one working for the benefit of the institution. Our first big meet of the season was when our boys journeyed down to our mother school to tangle with the Babes of that institution. Although we were defeated 103 to 28, Coach McClise was well satisfied with his men, as this was the highest score that the Farm had ever made against the Frosh. Irland was the high point man of the day, taking first in the mile, third in half mile. Shaffer took third in the mile. Pogue did well, taking first in high jump. The Farm did well in the shot, Wiss- nian taking first, with Schiller third. Williams, of the Farm, took second in the two-niile, which was a very fast race. Anderson took third in the pole vault at 11 feet. Hardie took third in the javelin. Schiller took third in the discus at 109 feet. The California Frosh were exception- ally strong in the hurdles and sprints, but took second in both the 100-yard and 220- llllIHHHIIlIIIHIHilllIIllIIIlllllllllIIHHHTIIHHlHlHlIHET'UHHHIEIIlh HM Hi?

sru' . x4 Boxing OXING HAS TAKEN a stronger place in athletics than ever before B at the Farm. This is due to the conscientious work of Coach Barnard and the men on the team. Training started at the beginning of the Spring semester, and with the exception of a week during the small- pox epidemic, the team went through the training routine every after- noon after school hours. Gus Gerson, a veteran light-weight of U. C.,, was elected Captain of the team, and Tom Buck acted as Manager. Gerson and Persson were the only U. C. students on the team, while Hagen, Temple, Spain, Barlow, Wynne, Spilman, Perry, Miller, Laughlin, Buck, iiYoungi, Barnard, and House were Farm School men. The meet with the U. C. iVarsity Boxing Team on March 4th was a great success. Gerson, Persson, and ttYoungi, Barnard won their bouts, and every bout was clean, hard fought and, in the most part, very close. A large crowd attended, bringing $130 in gate receipts. The meet with Santa Clara on March 24th was quite a victory for the team, every bout in the evening being won, with the exception of one default, which was on account of a broken nose and doctors orders. The Farm men, on the whole, showed better condition and more expe- rience than the Santa Clara Men. Meets were arranged with U. C. for April 14th, and with Stanford for Picnic Day, which have not been held up to the time this article was written. 109.
