The annual meet between the two California rivals is, at present, the principal purely college track– athletic event on the coast, and the coast cham– pionships in which club and college athletes both compete take the place, in a way, of the Eastern intercollegiates. The time is probably not far distant, however, when the tate universities will unite with Stanford and Berkeley and an as ocia– tion will be formed providing for games in which all may be represented. There is no space here to narrate in detail the growth of that great network of intercollegiate and interscholastic associations which now cover the country. In addition to the original "intercolle-
