extreme doubt as to the outcome prevails This revulsion tn feeling is due to the influx of the crack Multnomah athletes to Palo Alto The latest acquisition to Stanfords track team Is no other than Kerrigan with records for consistent performances which are startling Kerrigan reached Stanford University during the past week and with Burnett and Morgan a trio Is formed which It Is claimed will win the Old day for Stanford Berkeley Is of the opinion that It has been bunkoed and Intense opposition will be made to the competing of any of these Northern athletes when rae colleges meet The Berkeley men declare that lax methods are In vogue at Stanford In the admission of students otherwise these northern lights would be Suable to be enrolled as bona fide student In the case of Morgan rumors are afloat that he wished to attend college at Berkeley but as the task of entering him was deemed a hopeless undertaking the Berkeley management gave the matter up It was known then that unless Berkeley made the proper overtures and assurances Morgan would go to Stanford where special courses are In abundance Kerrigans position according to the charges of the Berkeley athletes Is even more equivocal Tbey say that he Is entered In a commercial course at Stanford which to them Is little better than no course at all and they say be will be barred from participating in the games At Stanford the track team has not yet begun systematic work King the trainer of the Multnomahs of Portland will arrive at Palo Alto on February 1st from which time till the close of the season he will supervise the training of Stanfords men Stanford has a batch of record beaters the most prominent of whom Is Kerrigan whose great feat was his 6 feet 2 Inches In the nigh jump during the Olympic

perfectly willing to meet Englands champion sprinter Breden at 440 yards This willingness to accommodate Che friends of Breden on the other side who have shown so great a desire to have the race
