Victory of the University of Cal
fornia by the narrow margin of half
a point over
Harvard in th
eastern intercol
legiate track an
field games, com
bined with the
one-sided defeat of
Ohio State in the
intersectional foot
ball clash by the
team representing
the same institu
tion, should con
vince middle west
and eastern ath
letic enthusiasts
that the athletes
and teams on the
coast are no
longer inferior to
those developed in other sections.
Since team have been receiving
proper coaching in the far west, they
have been developing with leaps ana
bounds. The performers have shown
their consistency on .numerous occa
sions and the fact that California
traveled clear across the country and
defeated the best the "effete" east
could send against it, is deserving of
more than passing mention.
Coached by Walter Christie
Coach Walter Christie, one of the
old school of America's track and
field mentors, took only 14 sterling
amicics irom aniorma , ior inc
Bears. This little band of performers
was sent against eastern teams which
greatly outnumbered it, because of
their accessibility.
It goes without saying that Har
vard, Penn, Dartmouth, xale and all
the other large institutions entered1
every pertorrtier who had a possible
chance to win a point or fraction
thereof. The size of the field may be
gathered from the number of trials
it was necessary to hold on the
previous day.
While California won the meet by
half a point, it might have been vic
torious by a larger margin had
Coach Christie been able to take
along other men who were left at
home because of added expense on
the transcontinental trip. The Gold
en state mentor undoubtedly saw
several events in which some, of his
ithlctes who' were left at home might
have scored.
Finely Balanced Team.
It also is worthy of note that it
was the well balanced character of
the California squad which swept the
cream of the east to defeat, for the
Bears won only one first that of
O. O. Hcndrixon in the 440-yard run
in the fast time of :49. , . ,
' H. P. Mulleri ' California's ' red
headed all-around athletic star, tied
for first in the high jump. It was
this same Mtiller who played a whale
of a. game at end in the foot ball
match which California won from
Ohio State last New Year's day.
Not alone did California earn the I
laurels in the face of overwhelming
,. odds, but its sister school,' Leland
Stanford, represented by only four
athletes, finished fifth and defeated
Cornell, Princeton, Yale and other
big eastern institutions which en
tered full teams.
What Would Paddock Have Done?
"And University of Southern Cali
fornia, while not represented at the
Cambridge games, also came promi
nently to mind of the eastern track
followers when they cogitated over
what the sensational Charles Fad
dock, world's record holder in the
sprints, would have done in their
classic meet.
On the same day that California
and Stanford were showing their su
periority in the far east, another Cali'
fornian cut up a few capers in the
interscholastic track and field meet
given by the University of Chicago
on Stagg field.
E. Boyden of Vallejo High school
won three events from the best the
middlewcst schools could pit against
him. His friple win placed his school
third in the point column. He won
the 440 and 880-yard runs and ta
pered off his afternoon's work by
winning the running broad jump with
a leap of 22 feet, 4 inches.
Live in Athletic Atmosphere.
This growing athletic superiority
of far west athletes and teams can
safely be attributed to the natural
qualifications of the men'. In some
instances, the athletes are made, but
in the great majority they possess
natural ability to do things. The pre
paratory school students do nothing
but think, live and enthuse over ath
letics. Each strives "to outdo the
other, with the result that they make
mighty good material when they en
ter college.
In a number of preparatory
schools in the middlewcst and At
lantic section athletics are of lesser
importance. The students prefer the
dances or the theater to the athletic,
field. They apparently believe it is
better to be an accomplished dancer
or dramatic critic than an athlete.
Not Like Years Ago.
There was a time in high school
student activity in Chicago at least
that dances were tabooed during
the athletic season. Athletes were
placed upon their honor to live up
to training rules. That they did wis
shown by the results of contests n
those days. . r
Prep school athletes on the coast
pav, little attention to the so-ral
side of lite. They aspire to be some
bodies among their fellow students,
and this is one of the chief reasons
why the coast is coming along so
rapidly in the athletic world.

Loop Cobb, Sisler, Speaker
Also High.
Chicago, Tune 4. The American
eague batting race has developed
nto one of the tightest in many
ears, with Harry Heilman of De
troit leading and Ty 'Cobb. Tns
Speaker and George Sisler, last
year's champion, setting a terrific
pace which daily promises to put
any one of them ahead of the De
troit outfielder.
Heilman's average, including
games of Wednesday, is .435, 10
points better than a week ago. Cobb
and Speaker follow, each with a
mark of .408.. Sisler has hit better
than any of them in recent games

boosted his average more than 150
points. His mark now is .404,
against .375 a week ago. The 3t.
Louis first baseman hit safely 17
iines during the last week.
Babe Ruth continues to pole out
home runs, . getting his 16th of the
season during the past week and in
cidentally establishing a new record
for total home runs with 119. Cra-
ath held the old mark of 117. His
batting average is falling off, how
ever, and he has a mark of .338,
against .345 a week ago and .378

ball and Bostick s single scored an
other in the sixth. '
Two double plays were engineered
by both teams today, all coming

Heavy Trout Rods.
Your grandfather's fly rod if he
had one was heavier than yours.
But if this idea gives you a glow of
satisfaction, if it makes you feel
that your sportsmanship is greater
than was grandad's, stop reading
now and enjoy it, before I remind
vou that, while ins rod was heavier,
it also was longer 12 or 13 feet or
more with much more weight in
the butt than is favored nowadays
Remember, too, that grandad could
not use the punchy rod now
favor, even if they made them that
way, because his ' fine leader of
horsehair or sewing silk wouldn't
permit it.
According to present day stand
ards, any American made fly rod of
split bamboo weighing 'over hve
and one-half ounces is a heavy trout
rod; in factr one seldom sees , a fly
rod weighing more than seven
ounces. In other words, the mod
ern American fly rod for trout fish
ing ranges between those two
weights and a length of nine, nine
and one-half, or 10 feet.
For . fishing for the big trout of
Maine, the JJipegon region, other
Lake Superior waters, and the Soo,
a fly rod of ordinary construction
weighing better than six ounces will
bp none too heavy, i rue, big trout
are often caught on lighter rcwis, but
it is better to have a little margin
on weight when fishing in waters
where big trout great big trout, in
fact are probable, not merely possible.'
Besides, the fish may not be rising
when you are there, and you may
want to do some bait fishing with
your fly rod. We all know that most
big trout arc caught on bait anyway,
regardless of what the proud angler
may have tied to his leader when he
brings the fish into-camp. In the
Nipegon country, for - instance, to
every big trout caught on flies there
are a dozen taken on the cockatoush
or other live bait..
The tournament style fly rod of
teet, weighing 5;4 or. 5 ounces,
is ideal ior ail around heavy fishing.
Such a rod has sufficient backbone
to pick up a long line cleanly and
possesses more power than ordinary
rods ot like weight. Most anglers
will agree that it is the rod for the
heavier kind of troutipg, ahd for
casting flies and' spinners or floating
"bugs" for black bass.
Tournament rods originally were
made for competitive distance cast
ing. With the revival of dry fly fish
ing anglers were quick to seize upon
the tournament caster's weapon.
They are now made with larger
handles and vary somewhat in
weight, as the weight restrictions of
the casting platform fortunately do
not apply to the stream.
It may sound like heresy, but I
sometimes doubt if the tournament
type of rod is as suitable for dry fly
fishing as most dry fly fishermen
seem to believe. Certainly one does
not need such powerful rods to cast
ordinary dry fly distances, and the
two or three false casts made in dry
ing the fly and reaching the desired.
spot are not' unduly trying to an
ordinary, "well made rod.
It seems a bit out of place to use a
powerful rod, a heavy line, and a
leader with a 3X fine point, even
granting that there is always more
or less slack when striking a fish in
upstream fishing.
It is noteworthy that many of the
expert British drv fly fishermen
including Mr. Halford used lighter
rods as they gained in experience,
and we can see a similar tendency
among our own experts. -.
