II certainly looks as though the dual
track meet between Punahou and Ka-
mehameha tomorrow would be big
event The meet is scheduled to come
off at 2:45, on the Punahou athletic
field. Both schools are making big
preparations, and are going into the
affair for all they are worth.
The winner OF this meet is OF much
more Importance than merely de,
termining which school win make the
most points; it practically decides
which will be the winner of the big
Cornell meet which takes place week
after The Cornell meet will un-
doubtedly go to either Punahou or Ka-
mehameha, for in the A. A. u. meet
athletes from these schools captured
most of the events. This being the
case, Punahou and Kamehameha will
be left to fight out the Cornell meet
practically between themselves, al
though the High School is counted on
for some points. Therefore this duaf

it does lose the dual meet, but this
is not probable.
Punahou is working hard and has
a fine bunch of athletes to turn out
Saturday. For the dashes, Oahu is
putting its main hopes on Ernest Gay,
Ernest Baldwin and Paris. All three
of these men made fine marks in the
easily be counted on for the dual
meet
Punahou's best hurdlers are Bill
Coney, Ernest Gay and Harold Bald
win. Coney is perhaps the best of
the three and gave an exhibition of
his speed in last Saturdays meet
For the weights. Punahou has con-
fidence In Bill lnman and Woods Low
who have showed their prowess previ-
ously.
The broad jumpers are Bill Hitch
cock, Ernest Baldwin, E. Liu and Har-
old Baldwin, Hitchcock and Ernest
Baldwin have both made good marks
in the broad jump and can be counted
on to do SO again. The high jump will
be left to Hans Fassoth, Douglas
Baldwin and Harold Baldwin to win
Fassoth jumped second in the A. A..
u. meet.
For pole yaulters Punahou has Hans
Fassoth, Bill Hitchcock and Gordon
Brown. Fassoth. besides being good
high jumper. is good at pole vaHlting.
but he will be up against the real
thing in Hipa, Of Kamehafneha. Hitch
cock and Brown have also made a
good height and should be able to do
better.
For the distance runs John Watt is
given preference and is counted on to
walk away with first place. Gordon
Brown and Johnny O'Dowda will also
be in for the distance runs and should
take places.
Punahou Confident
With such an array of athletes,
Punahou has comfortable feeling of
confidence. Most of the men named
above competed in the A. A. u meet
and we're point winners for each of
their events. They should have no
trouble in duplicating their records
of Saturday and possibly doing bet
ter. Mr.. Kicker, the Punahou coach,
said that he counted on some more
records being broken. The boys are
in better trim after their work OF
last week and consequently should be
able to do better.
After meeting between the two
schools, Punahou and Kamehameha,
ii was decided to drop the four-mile
relay and substitute the one-mile run
instead. Having the four men who
would take part in the relay, run the
mile at the same time is practically
the same and would be over much
quicker with more interest and excite
ment. As it is, there are to be two
relays, the one-mile and the two-mife
The teams have not yet been chosen
for these relays but Mr.. Kicker is now
at work developing some new ma
terial which looks promising.
Ribbons are to be given for first,
second and third places in the meet.
Point winners in this meet will be the
backbone of the teams which will COM
pete for the Cornell Cup on March Is.
The Punahou men are out in force
every afternoon and the advantages of
training are making themselves more
evident every day. Kamehameha men
are also working hard and faithfully
and with both teams in fine trim
there is no doubt but that the meet
will be a good one. The meet is to
take place Saturday at 2:45 on the
Punahou athletic field. An admission
of twenty-five cents is to be charged.
