The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-03-16

Ne Unbl Uclu ana Idth meet OF
the season, in which the three lead
ing educational establishments will
participate is set down for Saturday
afternoon on the Alexander Field, and
Judging from the dual meets. it may
safely be assumed that the final meet
on Saturday will be teeming with in
terest throughout On the results Of
the three dual meets, in which Oahu
College beat Kamehameha and Col
lege OF Hawaii, and Kamehameha
beat College of Hawaii, it would, on
the face of it, seem that the triangu-
lar meet is a foregone conclusion for
the Puns but an examination of the
points scored in the respective meets
indicates that this is far from being
so; in fact, It is not at all certain
that the Oahu College will win, let
alone win by a large margin.
Unless the unforeseen happens, the
contest for the honors in this meet
should be as close as it is possible
to be- The writer expects that there
will not be more than three or four
points btween the two leading teams
at the end of the days sports It is
indeed a question of which team will
win out.
At the outset, it would be we'll to
| eliminate the Rams from considera-
ton, for though the members of this
team will notch perhaps twenty-three
points or Whereabouts, it is not at all
likely that their total at the end of the
day will approach that of either Puma
hou or the College of Hawaii. This,
despite the fact that in the meet be-
tween the Rams and the College of Ha-
wall the Kams won out by a comfort
able margin. However, the points
won by the Kams were for events at
which Punahou beat the College of
Hawaii, and over the same events
Punahou in some instances beat the
Rams. 1t will thus be a cut-throat
competition, and it is possible that
the weakest team in the dual meets
may slip through into first place in
the triangular meet though it must
here be stated that at the time of
writing the chances favor Punahou
winning by the narrow margin of five
points.
This is arrived at by the following
line of reasoning: In the 100 yards
220 yards and quarter-mile, first and
second places are expected to lie be-
tween the Kams and the College of
Hawaii; Punahou will take the mile
and half-mile; two places in the 200
hurdles are tipped for the College If
Hawaii and the other place to Puma
hou; the shot-put and hammer-throw
look like being won by the College Of
Hawaii; the two jumps are ear-marll-
ed for Punahou, as we'll as the pole
vault and relay race.
those which competed in the dual
meets The Kan. team will be at al
most full strength, the only absentee
of note, excluding R. Brandt, being c.
Hosea who is at present laid up and
will not be able to compete. e. Noah
will compete for the Rams in the
weight events, high Jumps, pole vault
and hurdles, and on his showing in
these events will depend to large
extent whether the College of Hawaii
or Punahou will win out. Benjamin
the mile runner, is also to enter the
half-mile, and since Monday he has
been doing hard work on the track.
.G. Manoha, who won the hundred on
Monday has also put in good work
during the time which has elapsed
since then and, together with Godfrey,
has made good time. On the BOYS
Field the College of Hawaii cracks
are still hard at work, but a good
deal of attention is being paid to get
ting off the mark The Punahou lads
are training on the Alexander Field,
and their showing is well up to the
standard they set in the dual meets,
In the predictions appended there
are one or two tips which call for
comment. In the hundred Bill Rice IS
slated for first with G. Manoha in
third place and Godfrey second. Now,
Manoha beat Rice on Monday last,
but it was mainly due to the start
he made being well in his stride be-
fore Rice rose to the pistol. Manoha
may beat Godfrey home but it is very
doubtful, and anyhow both are Kane
hameha runners, so it really does not
matter which gets second if the Other
gets third In the quarter-mile
chance is taken with Godfrey, who
will certainly push Rice very hard
