far superior to her rfYals-on the
track az any rate. From the crack Of
the pistol until the tape vas reached
there was out one team in the race.
and that team Haunted the buff and
blue Of Punahou.
But little betting was INDUCED in
by the boys Just before the race
the story went around that the Male
nimas had three men better than
81 seconds, while one man could COW
~ the distance in 81 seconds. That
rather dampened the ardor OF the
Punahou enthusiasts and odds went
al 10 vita the Males on the large
end.
About three hundred spectators wit
messed the race The buff and blue
OF Punahou was there in abundance.
The Males green and gold was also
predominant. but the blue and white
OF Kamehameha was conspicuous
largely by its absence. Principal
Dyke Of kamehameha school had alb
solutely refused 10 allow the school TO
attend the races. so that the boys
had TO run over the course alone,
with no one TO cheer them on to vic
tory This alone takes considerable
starch out OF a man. and the boys
deserve great c0mmendation for the
game race they ran handicapped as
N were by the lack OF proper sup

hou faced the music for the first re-
las. On the crack Of the pistol they
got Oh in a bunch and the race was
on All went well until the first
eighth. when Marcallino swerved over
and took the pole with a jump. Then
be- settled into his stride and step by
step increased his lead, until twenty
good yards interviewed between him
and Pa who came struggling along a
yard In front OF Sheldon. Thus they
finished and thus the second relay
started. Punahou far in the lead.
Kamehameha second and Male lima
a close third The winning of the
race is largely due to MarcallinO's
relay.
Castle received the bun and blue
stick from MaTcallino and started up
the stretch like a whirlwind. adding
fifteen more yards to his already good
lead before Akana tK) and Hopkins
(AD got started. Akana made noble
effort. but could clip of but i've yards
from his opponents lead, while the
pace was far to hot for the Males
who finished third. ten yards behind
Akana
Hanakahi ran the star race for Ka-
mehameha. Campbell had received
the stick from Castle and was well
under way before Hanakahi got
started The plucky boy started in
like a cyclone and. by sheer plugging,
slowly began TO creep up on little
Campbell Slowly but surely he
closed up the gap but the distance was
too great and Campbell finished TWEEN
" yards to the good BY the time the
iive-eighths pole had been reached
the Males had ceased to exist. for
Crook gave mp and dropped into a
walk. His actions sayored somewhat
OF cold feet.
Once started nothing could touch
Deverill. who sped down the stretch
like n racehorse. Punahou made a
good attempt to catch up the lead
but. discouraged by his opponents
big lead and his lack of support, gave
up the race when Deverill finished.
The relay record of so made by
Oahu College last March was mutilat
ed beyond recognition. The time
made was 3 IS.
