from the three sehools-Punahou. Ka-

SECOND SERIES IN
ATKINSON LEAGUE

The opening games in the second Sc
ries of the Atkinson League proved to
be good exhibitions, in spite Of the
unfavorabIe weather conditions. The
games were played last Sunday. A
large crowd was present, and, alto
gether, the first two games of the new
series augured well for the future of
this enterprising league.
In the first contest the z. S. Marine
Corps team was beaten by the sailors
from the Iroquois by the score of Is
to @. The second game was between
the Pacific A. c. and the Starlines A.

the edge on the Pacific players, for

Fast and Furious Basketball
Played at Gymnasium
Last Night.

It was fast game of basketball that
was played at the Y. NJ. c. A. last
hight. when the soldiers from Fort
Shafter beat the Association players
by the close score of IS to 16. There
was large crowd presenz in the gym
nasiam, and the pretty plays and GIN
gerry work of both teams were appreci-
ated and applauded.
The contest was well played from
start to finish, and although the going
was somewhat rough in places, nothing
happened to mar the al1-round excel
lenee of the first game of the season.
1t was not SO much the strength Of the
Shafter players as it was the weakness
of the town boys that won the game
for the former.
At the end of the first half the score
stood II to 10 in favor of the Y. NJ.
c. A, but the lead was overcome by
the khaki-elad players before the
sound of the referee s whistle finally
closed the game. The halls were not

his bones being very small and his
muscles large. Today one meeting him
on the street would scarcely suspect the
athlete Ia the seemingly slender frame
which he carries, yet a sight of the
development of his arms and shoulders
would make the ordinary prize fighter
green with envy. Mr.. Page, though he
weighs only 40 pounds, would be a
bad man to tackle in a rough and
tumble fight. though he might be pick
ed out on first sight as an "easy
mark.
He also says that when he picked
out high jumping as his Hstuntu he
wanted to get something that would
give him the "maximum amount Of
exercise in the minimum amount of
time. :" The jumps are just suited for
this, as they are an exercise which
require a quick jerk of the muscles
and use of great amount of force
in a few seconds of time.
The Y N. c. A. of Philadelphia
furnished Mr. Page with the field for
his first athletic efforts. When Is years
old he made a jump Of 4 feet / inch, a
height which the ordinary man will find
impossible to clear. A year later he
did 4:10 in competition, and the next
year, when Is years old, he entered the
games of the Olympic club of Philadel-
phia. At this time he managed to clear

From Modern Mexico, December 8:
Living quietly in the little Mexican
city of Aguas Calientes is one of the
foremost athletes that the world
ever produced, ". BYRD Page, who
before he attained his majority had
broken all existing records in the
high jump, setting a mark which
endured for eight years against
amateurs and professionals alike, and
was beaten only in 1895 by NJ. f.
Sweeney who as a piece of luck man
aged to clear feet 5 SIS inches. Mr..
Page 5 record was feet inches and
this stands today as the college record
Of the world and IS likely TO stand for
another twenty years as mark for
the college high jumpers to shoot at.
A feature Of the great record made
by Mr.. Page that stands out above
everything else that he ever did Is the
fact. that, despite all his success both
in America and England. he refused
81 offers to turn professional and to-
dav has as clean a record as when ne
entered the University of Pennsylvania
as a green Freshman twenty-five years
ago. This is in distinct contrast to the
record of Sweeney, who, the day after
he broke the record turned professional,
