STOPPING AT WELL - KNOWN CAMPING RESORTS EN ROUTE. The First of a Series of Popular Ex- cursions Under the Auspices of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. A DELIGHTF&I; DAY’S OUTING AT VERY LITTLE COST. Several years ago the Southern Pa- | ;| cific Company inaugurated a series of cheap excursion trips into the heart of | the Santa Cruz Mcuntains which were extensively patronized and probably did more tc bring into public notice the beauties and attractions of that romantic region than any other agency ever employed. The result has been that numerous delightful camping resorts have been established, notably those at Wrights, Glenwood, Zuyante, Felton, Ben Lomond and Boulder Creek, where people of moderate means congregate by the hundreds and enjoy to their hearts’ content the delightful surroundings af- | forded by this mountain region, at a minimum cost for travel and expense of living, where the climatic conditions are unsurpassed and the finest of fish- ing, hunting and boating can be en- joyed. We are advised by the general pas- senger department of the Southern Pa- cific Company that the date fixed for the first campers’ excursion train of | the present season is Saturday, the 30th inst., and that the rate for the round trip from San Francisco to Boulder Creek or any of the intermediate camping resorts has been placed at the very low figure of $1 25. A first-class train service will be pro- | vided and excursionists will be com- | fortably seated in upholstered cars. This and subsequent excursions will | be personally ccnducted and under | the immediate charge of Colonel Wil- | liam H.

Intercollegiate Championship Games at the Olympic Grounds To-Dau. HERE are two days which to the students of California universities stand out pre-eminent above all others— Thanksgiving day—when brawn and strength engage in muscular battle on the gridiron, and a late day in April, when the representatives of both California and Stanford meet on the cinder track for championship honors. This afternoon at the Olvmpic Club grounds the annual championship fleld day will draw the students from Palo Alto and their friends, all flaunting the color that makes bulls mad, and the adherents to the cause of the Blue and Gold colored and bedecked with the insignia that know no defeat-on the cinder path and no victory on the football fleid. Five times have Stanford and California tested their mettle on the athletic field. Out of all these annual con- flicts Stanford's banners are not graced with a single victory. Two years ago when California was bathing’ in a balm of anticipated and assured superiority the cardinal heaved out of the deep and the score was tied. This is the only unction that Stanford has ever lald to its soul in this branch of athletics. There is hope to-day that the cardinal may flaunt its terrifying badge over the dead bodies of its ancient rivals, but it is a hope born of despair and un- alloyed determination. Too much self-assurance and a noll me tangere belief in one's own ability have been the cause of the undoing of many men and many things. Stanford has worked quietly and unassumingly, shirking nothing and utilizing every moment to develop a team which will at least satisfy its followers, chould it fail to glorify the stand- ards which they bear. There is always a certain air of mystery about the athletic conditions at Palo Alto, and sur- prises often oceur for the very reason that people forelgn to the university are very often in a cloud when judging of the athletic strength of any Stanford .eam. On Monday night the composite Berkeley student jaw dropped several inches, but since then it has been raised to its normal level by the use of a derrick of supreme confidence. Ben Bakewell, the hurdler and high jumper, in the last practice of the year, was unfortunate enough to twist his ankle, and now it is very doubtful if he will enter in any of his events. Bakewell is a remarkable hurdler. At the last annual championship games of the University of California Bakewell covered the high sticks in sixteen seconds, a phenomenal performance, considering the slowness of the Berkeley track. He {s also a high jumper of rare ability. In the 120-yard hurdles he was to meet Morgan, and on this event college students have been rather free with their money, unconscious of that unforeseen power of chance and accident, and the results of their operation on the genus homo. A whole year of walting has been en- dured by both Morgan and Bakewell and now there may be no meeting after all. If Bakewell is sufficlently strong to enter he will do so, but it is not likely that he will run at his best under any circumstances. Stanford has suffered also, and that by the fliness of Dole, foremost among the all-round athletes of the coast. Dole, pole-vaulter, broad-jumper, hurdler and high-jumper, has been seriously handicapped in his training. Contradic- tory stories concerning Dole emanate from the Palo Alto quarters. According to some reports Dole is not himself, that he is in no shape to undergo the severe trials of an intercollegiate contest; but others will have it that the lugub- rious Dole is physically perfection itself, that he will run the low hurdles fast enough to take the breath away from the blue and gold men, and that he will skim the bar at six feet in the high jump. To-day will tell the tale. The following is the order of the events: First and second heats of the 100-yard dash, mile run, first and second heats of the 120-yard hurdles, final of the 100-vard dash, mile walk, final of the 120-yard hurdles, 220-yard dash, half mile run, first and second heats of the 220-yard hurdles, 440-yard dash, final of the 220-yard hurdles. Field High jump, shot put, pole vault, broad jump and hammer throw. The bicycle race has been decided already, The scoring will be five points for first place, three for second and events: California scoring five points to Stanford’s four. one for third. The resultant noise of juvenile altercation will be heard in town Saturday morning when the respective merits of Drum and Brunton are argued. Drum did force Brunton to swallow a series of bitter pills in the three sprints last vear. The question is now will he do it again. Brunton may not be trained to the edge as 'he was obliged to quit college for a few weeks in the heart of the season, but he is certainly out for keeps at present. He may not enter the 440, but he is very likely to do so. The 100-yard race is what the Stanford men are gambling on. Brunton has no better record in this event than Drum, and he does not possess the stamina of the Berkeleyan. In all the races Drum has ever run he has shown the biggest amount of heart. His finishing Is his strongest point, and if he is pushed hard the most hotly contested sprint race ever seen on this coast may be expected this afternoon at the Olympic Club grounds. The 100 belongs either to Drum or Brunton, but in the 220 and 440 Drum has a shade the better of it. For third places in these races California will run Woolsey, and Stanford, Birch. The long distance events will show some pretty work of the crafty kind. The mile run comes before the half-mile, and this may induce Carrol of California to husband his strength for the latter event, since his particular forte lies in that distance. Stanford has a man in this event who may give Carrol, with his record of two minutes, a disjoint- ing jostle and upset calculation. Walker has covered the distance in 2:03. In actual contest and with a m_oving mark as an index for greater development of speed he may cut some of this down. The mile without Carrol will lie between Smith of Stanford and Tolman of California, unless Jackson surprises the talent. This should also be a hotly contested event. )The hurdle races without Bakewell will lose a great portion of interest. Should he not run in the high sticks, 8 ¢ill undoubtedly score five points for the red. Second and third places will be fought out by Dawson of Cali- 3‘53;{;“33]‘“(‘111\'01' of S{unfurd. wlthpthe chances in favor of the blue and gold. The 220 hurdles were a toss between Dole and Bakewell., Again, counting Bakewell out, second and third places will lie between Woolsey and Morgan. In this case Woolsey of California will stay out of the 440 to run the hurdles. The last field event, the mile walk, offers some good guessing. Walsh of California with some of the best records made by Western college men has been wrestling with a virulent malaria, and is not in the best shape. He should win, however, despite the assaults of sickness. Lousley, Stanford’s new walker, is an unknown quantity, and just such a one as knocks calculations about the heads of the wise ones. Westerfeld of California, who last year tied Adams of Stanford for first place, having walked five laps without a shoe and the cinders buried in his foot, is out for a place. On the other side, to prevent him from doing so, are Lousley and Adams. Two of the fleld events look a little as if they were wrapped around with a cardinal blanket. The high jump and the pole vault will probably go to the redoubtable Dole, with second in both events for California. Dozier will s the high jump, and with Hoftman will tussle for second and third places. The broad jump should go to Broughton, California; Dole, Stanford, second; Brunton, Stanford, or Dozler, California, third. The weights present an- other question. Woolsey, Guiberson and Fickert promise to come inside the money in the shot-put. In the hammer throw Fickert, Guiberson and Greisberg should be the winners. The entries are as follows: 100-yard dash: First heat—Brunton, Stanford; Woolsey, .
