BY HOWARD CASE.

For the purpose OF encouraging al
increased local interest both in cleal
athletics and in Cornell, the first an
nual track and field meet under tn
auspices of the Honolulu Cornell Clul
will be held on Alexander Field to
morrow afternoon, weather permit
ting, beginning at half-past tw,
o'clock. The arrangements which
have been formulated during the pas
month are now complete; the official

entrants from the five participating
schools have been handed to thos,
in charge of the meet, and every indi
cation points TO the fact that the bis
contest tomorrow afternoon will revo
lutionize track and field sports II
Honolulu.
Never before in the sport annals oil
Honolulu have such a large number
OF athletes expressed their intention
Of entering into track and field
meet, and from this large number Il
is evident that the hopes of the pro
moters, who wish TO encourage more
participation in athletics, have beer
generalized Co a fair extent. The meet
ing tomorrow afternoon Is in reality
n merger of the first Cornell Club
meet and the interscholastic track
meet, which plan was decided upon
shortly after ii was found that the
College OF Hawaii would not enter in.
TO the annual Interscholastic Athletic
Association meet Hereafter, now.
ever, the Cornell meet will be entire
ly separate from any other contest OF
like nature.
Athletes In Trim.
The recent A. A. U. and Punahou-
lKamehameha meets have given the
various athletes ample training, and
In addition TO this they have been out
nearly every evening for the past
month, jogging around the cinder
track or trying their skill with the
pole. discus and shot. Punahou, Ka-
mehameha, St. Louis and Mckinley
high school seem to have a world of
good material, but very little seems
to be known about the Mills Institute,
the fifth entry into the race for the
championship. As the result of the
Cornell Club cross country run which
was held at Oahu College nearly a
month ago. Kamehameha has been
placed in the. leaf.foP the 0orHcif-cup
by eight points for winning that
event. The Kams have shown up
unusually strong In all the meets that
have thus far been held this year, and
it is evident that they win give all
other entries close run for the
places. Punahou Is considered good
second, according to dope from the
fans, but II is generally believed that
these two teams will run about even
all the way through.
The handsome trophy which is to
be awarded to the winning team by
the Cornell Club tomorrow afternoon
is one which will be well worth lot
of hard work II is a product of the
workshop of Reed and Barton, hay-
ing on one side an etching or John
Paul Jones, the famous Cornell run
ner, winning the mile. On the re-
verse side is the inscription: Cor
nell Cup, Presented by the Cornell
Club of Honolulu" This cup will be
offered yearly, the winning school TO
have its name engraved upon it and
to hold 1t until the next competition.
The cup will become the sope prop
! erty Of the school first winning it
three times. and when this is ac-
complished by any one Institution, a
new one will be offered by the local
club.
Relays In Evidence.
Perhaps the most important events
tomorrow afternoon will be the relay
races, four in number ana consisting
of the one-half mile, the mile, the two
mile and the four mile distances. 1t
has been decided that II IS team work
and not individual work. thai counts
in contest of this kind. and for this
reason the unusual number or relays
have been added to the regular SEIZED
ule. Hitherto. all track and field
meets in Honolulu have been CON-
posed of individual events, with the
exception of the half and mile relay.
This rule win be departed from to-
the four relay races will be added,
ihefour relay races will be added,
which viii take the place of the 220-
yard dash, the 440-yard DASH, the $50
yard dash and the mile rum The
schools participating in the meet are
required to enter four men each into
leach relay, and a first place will
count ten points, second place six
points, third place four points and
fourth place two points Each of the
four finishing teams will be awarded
points instead OF following the usual
custom of having the winning team
take the only points awarded for that
event This plan will give each school
a better chance toward pii;ng up the
points Cor the winning title.
Dope Plentiful.
During the past few days the sport
fans of the city have been getting
their heads together and peddling out
a line Of dope concerning their belief
rs to who is going TO win this race
and who that, This evidence is
based principally on what the ath-
letes have done in the last two meets,
and also what they have Gone in for
