BERKELEY CHALLENGES | WASHINGTON OARSMEN | From time to time during the last few years there has been talk of rowing being taken up serfously at the University of California, but, though the undergradu- ates have made spasmodic appearances in public, the sport has never attracted much attention or excited much interest. The University of California Rowing Associa- tion has been reconstituted and has issued & challenge to the University of Wash- ington for a four-oared race, to take place within twelve months. owing being dead or practically non-existent at Stan- ford University, the nearest college to | compete with the University of California is Washington. The University of Wash- ington has a fine body of water available for rowing—Lake® Union, near Seattle— and already has a crew. During the win- ter and spring, however, the Washington men have mot much opportunity to prac- tice, and it 1s probable that the match will not take place until next summer or | fall. The scene of the contest will prob- ably be Lake Union or Oakland Creek. The University of California Boating As- | n BE THE CRY OF COLLEGIANS CALTFORWLA. POSITION.

This warm spell has played havoc with successful shooting, and brought very little else but misery to the tew shooters who have frequented the marshes during the week. Not only have the birds ‘been scarce, but the physical discomfort consequent upon working in a pond with a flerce sun overhead has taken all enthusiasm out of the occasional shooter and most of it out of the fanatic. The Suisun marshes are still the favored quarters. Last Sunday the total number of birds bagged by the members of the Field and Tule Club at Cordelia did not reach 100—a very small number in com- parison with past shoots, which showed as mm’l{I to a nlnglecgun. On Wednesday H. B. Hosmer, Al Cummings and J. V. Coleman were out to force their luck. They returned with sour faces and bad tempers. C. A. Halght, W. J. H. pard, Ed ands, H. enuq{ and Billy Wattson tried the ponds of the Canvas- back Club on Sunday. Billy Watson was high man, with only a fair string. May- nard bagged twenty-three English nipe. J. J.

Nearly all the vachts of the Corinthian fleet and some of the San Franciscos as well will go into winter quarters in the lagoon. Commodore Caduc's fast sloop Annie, the flagship of the Oakland Canoe Club, has recently been on the ways at Hun- ters Point, where she has been thorough- ly overhauled and gut into perfect condi- tlon. To-morrow she will take the mem- bers of the Canoe Club out for the annual | cruise on the ocean. She will be towed from her moorings in Sessions Basin out to the heads and will then shape her course according to the conditions of pre- vailing wind and tide. As the tide does not_begin to flood until evening, she will probably not reach_the city on the return until midnight or Mondag' morning. The reception and dance set down on the pro- gramme of the Canoe Club will take place on some later date. The club has re- cently taken In some new members, Charles D. Bates Jr. and W. 8.
