turned away for few minutes to
watch the finish of the races.
The first event was a hundred-yard
dash and this was won easily by
Charlie Lyman, who beat Sing Chong
and Bill Desha. Then there was 4
quarter mile race, and A. Taylor was
the winner in this event, with Sam
Jakins and Sing Chong close second
and third. The final event, two hum
bred and twenty yards dash, went to
Charlie Lyman, who beat Bill Desha,
the only other competitor.
The hockey game was very pretty
sight. The girls have not practised
enough yet to make it very exciting,
but they were graceful and quick
enough to make one wish that they
would go on playing for ever. Some
of the fair players showed real talent
for the game. One in particular, Ray
Churchill, who played left half back on
Gladys Ryeroft Is side, was as sprv
and certain with her strokes as sea-
soned ordinary man player. There
were others whose names it was i'm
possible to pick out from the program
who showed almost as much aptitude,
and with some practise Oahu College
will be able to put out girls hockey
team that can make it hard for any
aggregation of their own sex to go up
against.
They played only short halves, and
there was no scoring in either in
stance, although both goals were
threatened several times. But the
goalkeepers were very much alive to
their responsibilities, and not single
hard shot went by them There were
good many offside plays and the ref
cree was very severe and blew the
whistle every time, but the fair play
ers took it very sweetly, and there was
not even single pout when some
pretty culprit was called for hitting
with the wrong side of her club.
The Football Game.
After the hockey came the football
game. The boarders and day boys
lined up against each other, and there
were two husky elevens on that field. !
There was no scoring, as only a few
minutes were played each way, but /
the class of game put up was good and |
showed that the college has some first I
class gridiron material.
Charlie Lyman put in part of a very ,
strenuous day captaining the day bugs.
This classy young athlete certainly did
his share yesterday. He won two foot ,
races, captained football game and
then pitched in the baseball match
against the Alumni, and that, as the
old fan SAYS, "is sure goin some.
The dav bugs kicked off and MagOon,

night kids made several gains and were
in the other half of the field when
they lost possession on a tumble that
set them back FIVE.
The sunlight specials then tried for
a forward pass and White sent good
one but it was fumbled and they lost.
They managed to stop the boarders
from making a gain however and then
they tried the forward pass again.
