The High School interelass meet at
the Boys Field yesterday afternoon
was great success, in spite of the
| rainy weather. Some very good times
were made, and the boys all showed up
in great form.
The track was an example for Bun
| yam to write about his "Slough of
Despond from, and the midfeld was
just as wet as wet could be. UNI
brellas were sprinkled over the field.
and running clothes chung very close
| with the wetness of it all, but old man
| Cheerfulness was in evidence and it
was as keen and jolly a school meet
as one could want to see between here
and the antipodes.
i The feature of the afternoon was,
| without doubt, the relay race which
| was the. final event. MeCandless, for
| the winning Sophs, made magnif-
| cent finish as last man. He came
| sprinting down the finish to the tape
| with blood in his eye and wings on
his heels. He was at least three yards
ahead of the next man and fairly lift
| ed himself to the tape at the last mo-
ment.
Another big feature about this race
was the game work of Bill Rice, who
! ran twice for the Juniors. Bill start
1 ed and took the last turn and made a
| splendid finish. It is certainly going
| some to run the 220 twice over within
| the space of less than three minutes,
| and then make good showing.
Rice was the star of the afternoon
in the sprints, winning the 100-yard
dash, the 100 low hurdles and the 22O-
yard dash. Abe Norton ran a great
| race in the mile and made excellent
school time on muddy track. John
son, for the Seniors, gave him hard
rub but lost out in the sprint at the
finish, where Abe was strong.
| Old Man Kellett was there with his
megaphone voice and did great service
in calling the runners out for the
| start. Mr.. Blanchard lowered round
and saw that everything went off in
| Jig time, and there was not single
| hitch from start to finish.
| The High School lads are very much
bueked up over the various results, and
feel that they have a good chance to
| win out in the triangular track and
| field meet next Saturday. The boys
are all in excellent condition, and it
| looks as though there would be some
| thing doing in the record busting line
1 on Alexander field.
| Should the weather clear up before
| the middle of the week, the new track
at Punahou viii be very fast, and,
| with the strenuous competition be-
| tween the three schools, it seems more
than PROBABLE that excellent times
will be made.
