WILLIAMS tWinneri BROWN E tThirdi mllHlLitIHJJl; :4 .u hum :rlm VOLTZ tSecondi The Cross-Country Race ACH YEAR the students and Fac- E ulty 0f the Farm look forward to the cross country race, and as weather conditions delayed it last Fall, the interest kept on mounting until the entries for long distance honors lined up at the tape. These included three of the contest- ants in the Sacramento Union,s cross City race on Thanksgiving Day, where Frank Irland took third place and Vent- nor Williams placed sixth, against a field of forty-eight. George Volz was the oth- er man from the Farm. Before an enthusiastic crowd, Coach Denny McClise started the runners at the pistol shot on the three-mile circuit of the campus. Leaving the cafeteria and the cheering crowd the men circled the field of sorghum and headed for the Agronomy House, past the Poultry Building and horse barn. The course then turns south and east to the ranch house, north past the hog and sheep barns and east at the dairy barn. Re- turning past the Animal Husbandry Buildings and Agricultural Engineering Shops and Creamery, the contestants cir- cled the sorghum field again and fin- ished in front of North Dorm. There was a stiff wind, but the 01d , Farm fight brought out the best that was in the runners. After leading from the start, Vetnour Williams was the first of the bunch to cross the tape, winning the gold medal. F. D. Browne took the silver medal for second place, George Volz placed third. The gold, silver and bronze medals were put up by the Bowman Auto Sup- ply Co. of Sacramento, furnishing a suit- ahle memento of a race well worth run- nlng. ' The cross country race is an old end honored tradition of U. C. Farm, and 1t is hoped that the same enthusiasm and spirit will prevail next year to put dnHiWMuiiEwiHHHhW:thHWHIIIHHHHHHHHH it over in great StYle. 106

T ennis veristiy Farm. This year, however, has brought about a great change in the attitude that some of the students have about tennis. No doubt the coming year will see tennis as one of the major sports of this school. The three new courts that are now being put in at a cost of around one thousand dollars will bring this Change about. Tennis this year has received whole-hearted support, not only by the players themselves, but from the Student Body. A budget of $70 was given to tennis for the purchasing of tennis balls and for traveling expenses. This was not a very large sum, but it is a starter, and no doubt the coming years will see a much larger budget granted to the tennis players. Two very interesting tournaments were played off in the Fall sein- ester. The singles tournament had thirty-two entries, with Austin coming out ahead and Winning the silver loving cup that was presented by the Bowman Auto Supply Co. of Sacramento. The doubles were some- what handicapped by the sudden change of weather, but still there was a good deal of keen competition. Norton and Austin of the West Dormi- tory won the doubles championship and received as prizes a couple of large banners that were presented by Rudy Nickles of the Coop. As soon as the weather is certain a large number of tournaments will be played, and with men like Harris, who was Stanfordis third man, Norton, Blatt, Leavitte, and Austin, the Farm should not be afraid of losing very many games. IN YEARS HERETOFORE, tennis has been a minor sport at the Uni- 105
