Oahu College, the Kamehameha

all represented last night at a meet
ing in the Y. NJ. C. A. building which
resulted in the organization of the

The organization of the association
will doubtless mean increased actiy-
ity in athletics at the institutions rep
resented and will probably result in
the holding OF some interesting
games and tournaments, arranged on
a triangular basis.
1t is the determination of those In

possible, and their effort will prob
ably prove successful.
