LOS ANGELES TO SEND
STRONG ATHLETIC TEAM
Twelve Speedy Lads Will
Compete for Honors
on Cinder Path
' At .the second annual meet of the
Stanford Icterscholastic Association,
which will be held on the cardinal oval
March 2.3, Los Angeles will be. repre
sented by a BQuad of twelve clean
limbed and speedy lads from the Har
vard School. Under the leadership of
Captain "Ken" Lee, the crack mile run
'r.er. the lads are going through their
"preparatory training. They \u25a0will make a
strong bid for the laurels and cups now
held by the Oakland High School. -
The representatives of the southern
end of the State won the admiration
of the local sportsmen and followers
of the cinder path who attended the
meet last year. They were the favor
ites after the finish of the first event,
and when their present captain, K. Lee.
won the mile from Harold Maundrell
of the Lowell High School in the fast
time of 4:3? nothing was too good for
the wearers of the crimson. The Stan
ford .bleachers picked them for the
winners of the meet, but they went
down after a hard struggle.
From the showing made last year
and the fact that practically the same
merit wUI compete again, with .several
noteworthy additions, the prospects of
the southern lads appear to be as
bright as. if not brighter than, those of
any other school. Few entries have been
received by the directors of the asso
ciation thus far, and no close line can
be drawn on the outcome. The Har
vard lads do not attempt to estimate
their strength. Bradner Lee, brother
of the team captain and himself a star
quarter miler and relay man, sums up
the spirit of the southern aggregation
as follows: "As to our prospects we
have nothing to say. but this we will
venture: When Harvard's delegation ar
rives a.t Stanford in March it will be
a determined bunch of twelve tried
men and not the badly scared seven
which carried home the second place
trophy at the last meet."
Aside from Captain Lee, "Billy" Cllne
will probably be the best individual
perf&rmer. Cline is a sprinter of no
mean ability, and in addition he is a
whirlwind Jn the hurdles as well as a
star In the picked relay squad. He
holfis the record in the low hurdles for
220 yards among the high schools and
•"preps," and also among the collegians
of Southern California institutions. He
cleared the "sticks" in 27 seconds flat
without disturbing a single hurdle. In
the 100-yard dash he reeled off the dis
tance in 10:2 and the 220 In 22:2.
Harvard will probably enter in the
high 120-yard hurdles Otis and Elt
Brown, two consistent performers. In
the 220-yard event Billy Cline will be
backed by these two and Armstrong,
another clever youngster over the
"bars." In the "classic hundred" Cline
will be to the fore with his record of
10:2. which should prove a stumbling
block to a number of the competitors.
He win be assisted by Joe Lane, a
10:4 man, and Otis. This same trio will
do the 220 dash. In this event Cline
Is still first choice, but Lane is good
for 23:4, which Is fast time for the dis
tance. In. the 440-yard dash Bradner
Lee, who formerly held the Southern
California record in the BSO dash, will
rover . the "man-killing" distance with
Allan Crary, a 53:1 man, and Robb.
Captain Lee will compete In the half
mile, and should make a good showing
if he runs near his Southern California
record. Jack Valley will be fn the
mile run. He Is said to be able to
cover the distance in 4:50. His time
should be better on the springy Stan
ford track, but In any event he will net
;i point in all probability. The high
jump will be left to Thomas Duque.
He clears the bar at 5 feet € inches. In
the long jump Harvard has in "Cal"
McAulay a man who can go 20 feet.
He should be beard from.
"Bill" Hay will be the only strong
man In the shot put. In the hammer
throw he will be backed up by Man
ager Otis. In the relay, the points of
ivhich do not determine the champion
ship of the State, a special effort will
be made to capture the Bittner trophy
held by the fleet-footed lads of the
California School of Mechanical Arts.
Joe Lane, Billy Cllne, Crary, K. Lee,
Otis, Armstrong, Brown and Bradner
Lee comprise the Harvard squad. Coach
Hamilton will • accompany the lads
north.
HUMPHREY TAKES WIND
OUT OF PERKINS' SAILS
Major John B. Bellinger, general su
perintendent of the army transport ser
vice and depot Quartermaster stationed
here, has received a statement from
Brigadier General Charles F. Humphrey,
chief quartermaster, denying: that the
Government suspected San Francisco
shipbuilders of collusion In regard to
contracts with the department.
Some time ago, • In a letter' to the
Chamber of Commerce,' Senator Perkins
stated that the War Department enter
tained the opinion that the private ship
yards here had combined to exact ex
orbitant prices for repairing transports,
etc. This raised a storm of indignation
among the shipbuilders . and General
Humphrey's, statement is In the natuVe
of a repudiation of the charges made by
California's representative.

won easily. The score was 4-6, 6-1,
6-0.
In doubles Gorrill and Clinch won

Ladies' Annex and the Golden Gate
Junior Club. The handicaps allowed
the former players were unusually
large, and Miss Mearns and Strachan,
who had played strong tennis through
out the tournament, were vanquished
easily in the finals by a score of 6-1,
6-3. \u25a0
The other events were a class singles
and handicap doubles for Juveniles.
Play In singles was confined to the
second, third and fourth classes, j the
respective winners being B. Batkin, H.

RITA NEWMAN COMES
SAFELY INTO HARBOR
Gasoline Schooner Given
Up, for Lost Finally
Reaches Port -
FOOD RUNS SHORT
Supply Intended for Seven
Days Made to Last
Three Weeks
The overdue power schooner Rita
Newman,- which left Bandon, on the
Coqullle River, Just a month ago for
this port and for whose safety such
anxiety was aroused that tho revenue
cutter Thetis, under orders from Wash
ington, spent more than a week search
ing for her, arrived yesterday In tow
of the steam schooner Coaster. Her
engines were out of commission, and
only ' a ragged remnant of her deck
load remained,, but the vessel was in
good condition and all hands ap
parently In the best of health. *
The greatest anxiety attached to the
nonarrival of the Rita Newman arose
from the knowledge that sho had left
Bandon with provisions for only eeven
days. It was feared that she might
have been driven off shore and that the
eight men 'who composed her crew
were suffering the tortures of starva
tion. \
As a matter of fact, the gastronomic
barometer fell very low for a time, but
Captain Martensen and his | men de
clared yesterday : that they ha<l nuf
fered no more than their usual healthy
hunger, that meals, although sometimes
slim and simple, had been served reg
ularly, and that not a man on board
had found It necessary to tighten his
belt, as they do on hungry ships in
the most approved sea stories for the
artificial acquisition of that full feel-
Ing that tells a man he has dined..
The Rita Newman on February 18
spoke the brig Harriet G, bound from
this port for Coos Bay,, and from that
vessel secured a supply of provisions.
When the Harriet G was encountered
there remained in the Rita Newman's
larder Just, half a sack of flour and
beans enough for two meals.
Captain Martensen- says his cook,
Charles Johnson, Is a wizard, and \ H
certainly looks that way, for on seven
days' provisions he has fed eight men
for twenty-five days so that nobody
went hungry, .and he had beans, and
flour to spare. \u25a0 .. .
Captain Martensen said yesterday
that the Rita Newman* left Bandon on
January 24 at . 9 o'clock a. m. At
2 o'clock that afternoon she encoun
tered a southeaster, during which both
her gasoline engines broke down.' They
were never repaired. . Southeasterly
gales continued fpr sixteen days. The
Rita Newman was blown as far north
as the Columbia River. On February
10 the deck load started and 60,000 feet
of It was washed overboard.
When the engines broke down the
simplified diet was adopted that en
abled them to spread a week's food
over nearly a month's eating.
The Coaster was encountered early
yesterday morning about twenty-five
miles north of Point Reyes, and short
ly after sunset last evening both ves
sels came into port.
