A great crowd gathered at Kapiolanl
park on Saturday afternoon to witness
school by one solitary point In what
was perhaps the closest athletic CON
test OF its kind on record. 1t was n
good-natured. enthusiastic and noisy
crowd, decorated with furlongs of
bright coored ribbons and armed with
horns. which were brought into COM
mission whenever the scoring of points
warranted it.
Adm irers of Punahou Eaily arrayed
in buff and blue favors. were perhaps
in the majority but In this respect the
partizans of the school were not far
behind. The latter wore favurs OF blue
and white. Prominent In the crowd
were many well known citizens. old
boys of both institutions, who gathered
together between races and refought the
battles of their youth. The fair sex
were greatly In evidence and their di-
versity of costume made up really
Drllllant scene.
The day was an Ideal one for the &C.
casion and the temperature and track
admirably adapted TO the breaking OF
records. No less than three recognized
Hawaiian records were shattered, he
events being $50 yards, putting the shot
and the 440-yard run. Besides these
there is little doubt that the perform
ances in the high and low hurdles and
q l.. no NAa
on record as far as the Islands are con-
cerned, although heretofore no abso-
lutely authentic records In these events
have been preserved.
The time made in the 2O-yard dash
Is also morally record, for 1t is we'll
known fact that the old record of % is
seconds was made over IA course many
yards short The discus distance will
stand as a record. for the discus used
last Saturday was regulation weight,
having been made to order, In the only
previous contest Of this kind the discus
was at least "A pound too light.
on Saturday the distances and
weights were authentic and the officials
reliable, perhaps for the first time in
the history of Hawaiian athletics, and
1t would be eminentiy satisfactory If
local Intercollegiate and Hawaiian rec
ords, the latter with the exception of
the 5O-yard dash. 10O-yard dash high
jump. broad jump and pole vault,
should be made identical with Satur-
days performances.
Punahou started out with big lead
but half way down the card Kameha-
meha had drawn even. From then on
until the relay race the issue hung in
the balance, the score before the final
event reading, Kamehameha GO, Puma
hOu So. The relay race swung the PEN
dulum of victory IN the direction of
Oahu college.
The low hurdles furnished a mild SEN
sation, Harbottle. who finished first
being disqualified for running through
his hurdles and the race given to Will
hanson. The Kamehamehas protested
vigorously, saying that Miller had been
guilty of a similar offense In the high
hurdles and had not suffered disquali-
fication. Miller certainly looked to run
through some of his early hurdles. but
he jumps low and has n habit of knock
ing down the obstacle with his back
knee which Ia dcluding to the onlools-
ers
In the pole vault two Oahuans and
one Kamehamehan tied at feet
inches. and the lattcr's captain wanted
to jump 1t Off. while the Purahou skip
ner objected The Judges accordingly
gave six points to Oahu and three
points tn KaTehamcha. whi"h was GER
tainly the only way out of the difficulty.
DeN.liii's v in in the SG0-Yard run was
sterling performance and the best
thing that has been done on the local
track for many moons. He has very
useful stride and should develop a
couple OF seconds faster.
Hardee Ia wonderful pole-vau,ter
for n fellow OF his inches He has n
curious take-ofr but clears the bar
gracefully. A brother OF his holds the
Hawaiian record. but II won't he long
before the initials of the record holder
read differently.
Miller. one of the oahu college facul-
~. was revelation In the high hurdles
and his showing was distinctly good.
In the hammer Meyer was distinctly
a disappointment, having tnrowl over
10 feet In practice; thus. however. in
no measure detraCts from the good
work of Richards.
