can be seen out on the track along
with the other runners every after.
noon. There will be three or more
inter-grade meets in the near future,
and the grammar school track enthus-
lasts are looking forward to these
contests with keen interest
Six of Oahu. colleges cross-country
team yesterday ran over the course
that was run last year in the Cornell
meet. O'Dowda and Brown showed
UP exceptionally WE'LL and futile also
showed good form, coming in just
after O'Dowda John Watt, the main
stay of the o. c. team, was troubled
with bad leg which hindered him
| materially in the run, and he was not
able to do his best. Wakefield showed
up fairly well, for yesterday was the
first time he has taken the course
at full speed. Webster. upon whom
the Oahuans lay much hope in these
distance runs, was not feeling just
right and so he did not start.
Captain Manoha of the Kamehame-
ha track team claims that he has q
dark horse who is working hard in
! the shades of KaHhi. He is new
man, so<they claim, and has shown up
fairly we'll In some of the runs of the
school. Manoha thinks that he can
put up good race if he only tries
harder for it has seemed that in the
past he has only put part of his eff
forts into his running The captain,
Manoha, is still being troubled
slightly by a bad knee, but neverthe-
less he sees that practice goes on
regularly out at Kamehameha. where
the track men are working hard for
the Cornell meet.
II certain matters can be arranged,
the Oahu College runners will hold
their irter-class track meet in one or
two weeks. The seniors, under the
captaincy of big Bill'' Imam, have
challenged the. under classmen, who
have chosen Gordon Brown as their
leader, and the meet promises to be
rather one-sided The under elassmen
are defiant and since they have nearly
all the good athletes of the school
they expect to make clean sweep,
leaving the seniors Disguised and
grief stricken. Inman does not look
at things that way and his opinion OF
the meet is that the seniors will win.
When this meet will be run off has
not been decided.
The Mckinley High school track
Sters have q first class coach now, in
the person of Glenn Jackson Of the
Y. NJ. G. A. and if Jackson does the
same thing with the high school boys
in track that he did in football there
will be a lively time when this team
meets Punahou and Kamehameha.
Captain CroZier has some good run.
ners to uphold the Mckinley colors
this year and of all the years in the
past the present season seems to be
one of the most promising for the
highs.
Kamehameha VS.. Mckinley High
school at kamehameha and st. Louis
VS.. Mills at Punahou are the games
which will be played tomorrow after
noon. Judging from the former ap-
pearanCes of these teams, both con-
tests will be one-sided affairs. The
Mills team stands at the bottom OF
the list, while the Saint team is tied
for first place, and since this is the
case, the popular opinion favOrs the
Saints. Should the Rams continue
their losing streak, the game at the
Kan field might be of the hottest ma
ture, but since the Highs have had
little practice, and the cadets have
been practicing hard, it is safe to say
that Kamehameha will come out on
the Ions end of the score.
Percy Nottage, a former Punahou
man and one of the best runners in
the islands, is out again for track
this year. In the last A. A. L. meet
he broke the record for the half mile,
coming in an easy first and also
forced Meineke to break the record
for the mile by seven seconds, coming
in just after Meineke. He will run
for the P A. G. team again this year,
and he promises to be one of the Pu-
nahou teams strongest men. F. E.
Midkiff will also run for the PunahOu
bunch and those who have seen him
run say that he is due to break a
couple of records in the coming A. a.
L. meet. At Colgate Midkiff ran tn"
half and quarter, and was first class
man III both events. He is training
