PUNAHOU TRACK.
ATHLETES START
Practise Is Begun for Season
on New Athletic Grounds
of College.

Preparations for the track athletics
at Punahou have begun and the new
track is in use for the first time. Cap
tain Lyman has started out with his
men and from the present outlook
should have strong aggregation.
There are only two point winners from
last years team missing, which means
that the Kams will have TO work hard
to keep the championship which they
won last year.
wallace Cooper viii be greatly miss
ed, as he was about the best all-around
man who has been seen in the college
for a long time. James Peterson,
another of the old standbys. is no
longer at the school and his place
will have to be filed from the new re-
cruits, OF whom there are fair num-
Der. Smith, who broke the record for
the mile run last year. appears to be
even better this season than ne was
last, and will be expected to score
many points for his school.
Before the triangular meet Is held
a dual meet between the Puns and the
High School will take place. The date
has not yet been set, but IL will be
far enough ahead Of the big meet to
allow the men to rest, and still not be
stale. The Puns beat out the High
school for second place in the meet
last year and expect to do so again
They even count on giving the Kans a
close rub In the sprints and the dis
lance events the Puns are strong, but
when il comes to the weights they are
lamentably weak. There are some men
in the school. however, who viii PROB
ably do well with more practise and
they will get this before the season
is ended.

MANoA TENNIS GROUNDS.

A meeting of the Manoa Improve
ment Club is on the tapis for next week,
as the Tennis Club of that valley Is
anxious to have the former undertake
the parking Of the grounds around
their courts. There is some opposition
to this plan of disposing of the surplus
funds Of the Improvement Club on the
part of some of its members as IL IS
thought better 10 put the money into
public rather than private play
grounds. Another plan suggested IS
10 hand over the entire tennis courts
t. the Improvement Club and let IT
care for them for the benefit Of the
Improvement Clubs members.

EVENTS Of BIC
ATHLETIC MEET
Several Changes in Program
Made by Executive
Committee.

A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the championship field day was
held at the Y. NJ. c. A. on Tuesday
afternoon. the following being present;
Stanley Livingston, chairman, Ka-
mahameha Schools; 1t. shipp, Fort
shafter; E. X Arnold, Oahu College;
E. B. Blanchard, High School; Theo.
Richards, Boys Clubs; Paul Super, Y.
NJ C. A.
All local athletic organizations were
invited to send representatives to the
meeting.
1t was definitely decided to hold the
meeting on Saturday, March q, COM
nencfng at / p. m. The Boys Field
will be used for the purpose
The events in their order viii be as
follows:
Track
1G0 yards (trials).
One mile relay.
100 yards (fnals).
One mile run.
40 yards run.
120 yards high hurdles.
220 yards.
$50 yards.
Half mile relay.
Field
High jump.
16-pound shot.
12-pound hammer.
Broad jump.
Pole vault.
It vii be noticed that the 50-yard
dash has been dropped. In its place
a mile relay race has been substituted
For the first time In several years
there will be no mile walk and the
toe-and-heeI men, if there are any left,
will have to turn their attention to
running or keep out of the track events
altogether.
The committee is particularly keen
on encouraging participation in the
events by clubs Although Individual
entries will as usual be welcomed. No
entry fee will be charged to compete
in any of the events.
The field events will be. run or
simultaneously with the track num-
bers and the evenus will be called
strictly as per program with no. atten-
ton paid to whether certain indiTid-
uals entered in an event are also book
ed to take part in track event called
simultaneously. The idea Of this is to
prevent certain athletes doing all the
work for the club they represent, and
to encourage a larger number TO par
ticipate than would otherwise be the
case.
For the first time at a championship
meeting a 16-pound shot viii be used
instead Of the 12-pound iron which has
been put heretofore. There was some
talk of having a 1s-pound hammer as
well but it was decided TO stick to the
12-pound weight out of consideration
for the number Of boys who are ex-
pected to enter for the throw The big
hammer is an instrument for fully de-
veloped men and for boys TO hurl IT
is to court the possibility of serious
strain.
a special effort will be made by the
Boys Clubs people TO put the Lilina
street track in better shape than 1t
has ever been before.
This year there is likely to be a radi-
cal change in the prizes. In place OF
large. luminous tin medals. red and
blue ribbons will be offered for first
and second men. A large koa bowl viii
be awarded the club scoring the most
points. It viii bear silver plate on
which will be inscribed the winner
name and details of the victory This
bowl will be won outright at the meet
ing and viii not be semi-perpetual
affair
Another meeting Of the committee
will be held in the near future

BURGLAR MADE LOVE.

Got Hold Of Keys and Rif!ed Safe on
Girls Night Off.
A remarkable story of a burglars
lovemaking was told at the Clerken-
well Sessions, London.
Edward Wyndham Moore, an ex-
convict, with long list of convictions
and many aliases, pleaded guilty to
stealing from one of the shops of the
British Tea Table company.
It was stated that Moore made the
acquaintance of Miss Stewart, the
manager of the shop, and, although he
was married man, he made violent
love to her, and proposed marriage. He
made a practice to escort her home
from work and to carry her keys.
On the evening before she was to
leave the employ of the company to
marry him they went to the Gaiety
buffet, and Moore excused himself for
a few minutes, he went to the shop,
which he entered with the aid of Miss
Stewarts key, and rifled the safe A
policeman who saw him entering knew
him as Miss Stewards sweetheart, and
did not interfere. After the robbery
he took Miss Stewart home, but never
visited her again.

Train Orders at Full Speed.

A new device for delivering orders
to passenger and freight trainmen on
the Pennsylvania road has become
operative. To obviate the necessity
for stopping trains the trainmen will
receive their orders while going at
top speed The orders will be attach
ed to hoops, the hoops placed on poles
outside the telegraph towers. and as
the train shoots by the engineer or
conductor will run his arm through the
hoop containing his orders and take it
along. The hoops are to be turned in
at the end of the run.
