IN SCHOOLS NOW
Cross-country is the watchword Of
all the schools at present and every
runner, hope or veteran, young or old,
is working his hardest, for on Satur-
day, February IA. the Cornell Club
will hold its annual three and half
mile run. Five teams will be entered
in the race and from the looks Of
things now it should prove the most
interesting seen for some years. Be
sides the four interscholastic teams
Oahu College, Kamehameha, st. Louis
and Mckinley High school-the Col
lege OF Hawaii will have a squad Of
eight to enter the race, and already
the enthusiasts Of that institution have
been seen doing work in the vicinity
Of Monoa valley. Mills School may
enter a team, and it was also rumor-
ed that the Honolulu School for Boys
is going to make its initial appearance
In local distance running
Taking all things into consideration,
It is safe to say that the team that
captures the race on Saturday will
win the Cornell meet for 1874, for the
eight point lead that will go to the
school whose team wins the long pull.
will count for a good deal in the big
meet, since the chief contenders this
year are closely matched. Many OF
the fans have picked Punahou as
winner, with Mckinley as chief rival,
while others expect the Kan cadets
to run up the greatest number OF
points again this year The Highs will
have the winner of last years cross
country among their runners, and ev-
cry supporter of the black and gold
expects Amos to do for the High
school what he did for the cadets.

With handsome memorial trophy
as prize, the distance men have
something worth while looking for.
ward to, and every school will do all
in its power to capture that trophy.
At 2, meeting Of the Cornell Club the
members decided to give to the school
that won the long run three times, a
koa tablet with William Orr Lidgate
Memorial properly inscribed thereon.
Each school will enter eight men
and the first five win count when it
comes TO summing M the final score
The course will not be known until
tie day before the race, when the Of
ticials of the Cornell Club win show
all the contenders the flags and
points which they will have to pass.
The officials will be picked by the
Cornell men.
Who will win the race is question,
and since the trial race yesterday
that question is still harder to ans.

Amos to take first place, while Oahu
College is looking forward to a stel.
lar exhibition from Watt. There are
number OF other men in the ranks
OF the Oahuans who have been doing
exceptionally well, and some think
that futile, 0'Dowda or Brown have
as good chance as any to win. Web
ster OF the Punahou team has been
doing some hard work and seems to
be in class by himself and he also
has a bunch of followers who expect
him to win. Carey of st. Louis is a
new man, and the Saints think he is
capable of first honors, although from
the times he has made he will have
TO work little harder to beat Amos
and Watt. Captain Brandt of the
Kamehameha eight will lay his hopes
on Wright and Awana, while the Col
lege of Hawaii will have a strong man
in Stickney, who is captain of the
team.
o. C. CLASSY.
Considering all the teams, there is
probably none as well balanced as the
Oahu five. In Webster, Watt, futile,
0Dowda and Brown, Punahou has
quintet of distance men who can
made the three miles in less than II
minutes. The men on the squad are
almost equal, and there can hardly be
doubt that with this kind of q team
Oahu college should show we'll.
The other teams have good men but
there is no other squad that has five
runners who average as well as the
Punahou men. Every one of the o.
G.. men has run before, while many of
the men en- the other squads are new
at distance running.
The teams will probably be as fol.
