disqualified.

The Spring Field Day of the Academic Athletic League of the Pacific
Coast was held on the University of California track at Berkeley,
Saturday, April 18th, with the results as shown on the preceding page.
It was a bad day for track sports--cold, and eventually rainy, with a
cross wind that brought no help to the racers. Nevertheless, the
performances were noteworthy in several cases, and a glance at last
year's record of the California schools' games will show that the
tendency of the records is downwards. Drum took the 100 after a hot
fight with Jenks, and also scored a win in the 220. Jenks had been
looked upon as a pretty sure winner for the longer sprint, having
equalled the Coast record in his heat; but Drum was too much for him,
and Switzer came near cheating him out of second honors. These two
defeats seemed to discourage the O.H.-S. man, for although entered he
did not compete in the quarter. This race went to Woolsey, who got his
points through heroic treatment of his distance. He wanted to save
himself for the relay, and yet take the quarter too, which he felt
confident he could do, having covered the distance in 54-1/2 sec. So he
set a hot pace from the start, covering the first 220 in 25-1/5. The
field followed close, but the pace killed them, and Woolsey came home in
the excellent time of 56-1/5 sec. The A.A.L. record is only 1/5 sec.
lower.
