Two local interscholastie records

ords. established last year. were bro
ken at the new Kamehameha field
Saturday afternoon as the result OF
the second annual Cornell Club relay
games, inaugurated In 1918 by the
Cornell Club of Hawaii. By the dinL
of excellent work on the part of her
athletes, Oahu College annexed the
silver trophy by piling up 70 points
over her five opponents and, at the
same time, sprung something OF
surprise from the fact that the con-
census of opinion was that Kameha-
meha would win. as the cadets had an
Ieight-point handicap through their
winning the cross-country run in Feb
ruary.
kamehameha passed across the tape
la good second, having made Sc points;
Mckinley High School was third with
l36 points. st. Louis College fourth with
80, and Mills School fifth with nine.

events in which they entered
The day was an excellent one for
such a meeting and, although some

started, the big crowd which filed the
Carnival bleaehers new and much
appreciated feature, by the way was
thoroughly pleased and declared the
meet one of the most successful and
interesting ever seen in Honolulu Led
Iby their respective cheer leaders, the
f0ahu College, digh School and Ka-
mehameha students were out in force
and We'd with each other in the fine
art OF tin-panning. A detachment Of
police officers patrolled the field and
kept the track clear at all times.
While the officers carried out their
orders, their services hardly were nee
essary, however, as the bleacher seats
proved more tempting to the crowd
than standing along the side lines.
Credit to the police, and credit to
the crowd, therefore.

was on, promptly at 2:30 o'clock. To
set down the details of each event
would take considerable space and, at
the same time, might prove uninter-
esting reading. There were, however,
three or four events which were de-
Icided features and which are worthy
Of special mention; both from the
fact that records were smashed and
that some excellent work was done by
the athletes taking part.
Johnny Watt Goes to Work.
With Johnny Watt skipping over the
last mile to the tune of minutes 20
seconds, the Oahu College team, con-
sisting of Watt, Webster. O'Dowda
and futile. tore 26 seconds off the
former interscholastic record in the
four-mile relay, thus establishing q
new one of 81 minutes 3-5 seconds.

Watt ran a beautiful mile, taking
long, easy strides and seeming to
never tire. He sprinted gamely. over

in the bleachers rose in a body to

was the best on the afternoons pro

deserving of unstinted credit for the
work done.
