Exceeding the expectations of both
the promoters and the spectators, and
being a prime factor in the breaking
of old and the setting of new local in
terscholastic records, the first annual
Cornell Club track and field meet, I'M
der the auspices of the Honolulu Cor
nell Club, was held on Alexander
Field last Saturday afternoon. rs the
final score will show, Kamehalneha,
with her sturdy band of athletes,
plucked victory from the fire with a
total of eighty-one points and was
awarded the handsome Cornell Club
trophy. Punahou came close second
with sixty-seven points to her credit,
while the Mckinley High School and
st. Louis College made UP third and
fourth place with twenty-six and sew

time previous to the beginning, old

track and drove the early spectators.

has commenced storm clouds reared
their ugly heads over the mountain
tops in upper Manoa, and threatened
at every moment to put crimp in the
proceedings. Luckily, the rain passes

No Delays
While there was no time schedule
to govern the meet, the events were
called in rapid succession and there
was little or no delay in getting them
started. The crowd was orderly and
there was little work for Motorcycle
Officer Chiffon and his squad of blue
coats, who were on duty. A bit of
humorous horse play was in evidence
between the Kan rooters and Timber
lakes TRUSTEES during the period when
the runners were taking their places
for the half-mile relay, the last event
of the afternoon. I'VE want this race!
We want this racei" led off the Puns.
You've got no chance! You've got no
chance!" came back the Kams like
2 flash. Our runners never look be-

1t went on this way for full ten min
utes until finally the Rams yelled:
Nobody behind us" which was greet
ed with a roar of laughter from the
Puns, who then gave the Rams the
horse laugh" with a will. School
spirit has never prevailed at a game
or meet as it did Saturday. It ran
wild throughout and there were no
efforts made to stop it. When the
meet was finally over, it was evident
that the best team had won ana there
was not an iota of ill feeling on any
side. ..~
