ants who, although they were neither
scheduled to run nor we're counted as
competitors, showed up better than
either Of the other squads.
M. Tuttle Of the o. c. four captured
the initial position in the good time
OF 16 minutes 80 rs seconds, finish
ing about SO yards ahead Of Stickney
OF the College team, and his good
showing came as surprise to the
fans present at the race. Over the
same course and under the same con-
6itions, Amos made 1910 in the big
race in 1913 and Tuttle's time. al
though almost half q minute behind
that of the champion runners, Is re-
garded as very good. The winner ran
O steady race and had himself in good
condition for the run. At the start

the leading man and II was not until
the last half mile that he took the
lead, winning over Stickney by a
close margin. ~.

For the first mile Gordon Brown
took the lead and from the way he
ran many expected he would finish
first. He was followed closely by
Stickney, who was putting up the best
sort OF showing and behind Stickney
came Webster, whose running was
good. At the first fence Stickney
dropped into first place and Brown
and Webster went back little. The
College OF Hawaii man kept the lead
for the next mile and when the run
ners came around to the campus once
more he was running well and his
nearest rival was a good 30 yards IN
the year. futile began passing the
other men about this time and O'Dow.
da was also among the fast advancing
runners. Souza OF the High school
was doing the best for the supporters
Of the black and gold, while Starret
was the secend emaH-for the College
team.
The running IN the last mile proved
that the winner would be either Stick

he gave way to futile who in turn
oyercame Stickney and won the race

man. was not able to run yesterday.
He Is not able to do any work on the
track and there are doubts as to
whether he will be able to compete on
saturday. Amos. the man who won
the annual run last year, was in the
pull on Tuesday but he tried to run
IN ordinary shoes with the result that
he was not able to % satisfactory
work. "Brownie" Rice, who also viii
be one Of the Highs strong men on
Saturday did not run. Many of the
fans claimed that q large number of
the runners were taking It easy owing
to the fact that the big run comes
off in four days.
