Kauai Strong.
Very little ID known OF the Kauai
team except that there are number
Of good athletes from the Garden
Island who are now going to school IN
this city and who have all made good
on the track and field this year. In
his letter to The Star Bulletin. Mr..
Bettencourt says: with the add
ton OF J. B. Fernandez, sKaml8
champion runner, who was beaten ~
only foot In the 100-yard dash last
year by Manoha, and Joseph Fassoth,
Hosea, Albert Akana. John Aknna,
Theodore Pacheco. Henry Blake, X. G.
Hopper, Paul Kahilbaum, NJ B. Fer
nandez, Herman Brandt and possibly
myself, believe that Kauai would
have a very strong team. With Ma
noha, Hore and j. B. Fernandez In the
50-yard dash, Kauai would have 4
good chance OF taking all three places.
In the 220-yard dash Manoha. Hosea
and Pacheco would make an almost
unbeatable combination. In the 40
yard dash Opunui and John Carey
could make the town boys step some
Now these last three predictions may
be all right, and according to them
Manoha Of Kamehameha II picked TO
do the greater part Of the work. But
there are few OF the local sprfnters
who have followed 30 close on his
heels that he has won barely By the
Traction OF a foot In more than one.
On the other hand, there n no doubt
ing. Manoha's ..ahilitys q. q sprInter, ks.
has demonstrated that throughout the
season, but IN the question Of second
and third places, Il Ii evident that tie
local fellows would have those places
cinched, that is, unless F6rnandez %
st. Louis either tied or beat Manoha.
OF course, the local athletes have had
no opportunity as yet to see the Kauai
fellows work out, and vice versa. In
case such a meet were TO be held, and
the Kauai athletes who are now going
to school in Honolulu were to i6lnsthe
Garden Island forces, the local army
of athletes would lose Hans Fassoth
Of Punahou. w. F.. Jansen Of st.
Louis. William 0puni Of Kamehame.
ha, William Coney OF Punahou. d.
Hipa of Kamehameha, Waialeale of
Kamehameha, Leslie Wishard Of
Punahou, G. Brandt and Thomas
Hore of st. Louis. This group Is east
ly an all-star aggregation, as shown
by the work Of the various members
on the track and field this season.
While there is little possibility Of
the Kauai men taking such q meet
from the local athletes, still, there
might be chance Of their putting
one over. II the local fans want an
other exhibition of track and field
sport this year 1t is up to them to get
out and boost the proposed meet. Sew
eral boosters have already become IN
tefested in the proposition but Il will
be impossible for them to gain their
end unless they have the support Of
the local fans back of them. The
Kauai men seem particularly anxious
to hold such a meet, although Il IL
now really too late in the season. On
the other hand IL the Kauai men are
not given the chance to show their
skill this year the athletes Of the city
would no doubt be more than glad to
take them on at the beginning Of the
season next year.
