KAN CADETS WIN
CORNELL CROSS
country Event

team Won the second annual Cornell
cross.country run Saturday afternoon
over a course about three miles long.
The first five of the cadets team were
all numbered among the initial 90
and when the judges counted the
score Of the various teams they
found that the cadets had won an easy
first with the least number of points
and that Oahu College and Mckinley
High School had captured the second
and third places respectively.
Stanley Carey of st. Louis, College
won the race in excellent style. while
Souza, of the high school, finished a
very strong second Carey was dark
horse in every respect. and his style
OF running and endurance were OF
the best class He ran over the course
in the good time Of 16 minutes, 6 sec
ends, and he proved strong man
on all the grades. Throughout the
whole race he kept up good. steady
pace, only running faster down the
small hills.
Souza of the Mckinley team de-
serves credit for the steady race he
ran As was the case with Carey, no
one expected him to do so well and
when he was seen coming over the
last fence in third place the high
school supporters were as much sur
prised as the rest of the spectators at
the fine style in which he was rum
ming. In the last mile he gained
ground on Carey continually and after
he had passed Woolsey, who was rum
ming second, many picked him to win.
It was on the down grades that Souza
was especially strong and 1t was on
the last sloping grade that he over
came Woolsey of the cadets. Jack Lee
of the high school finished a good
fourth, while Awana Of Kamehameha
took the fifth place.
/ Much was expected OF the Oahu Col
lege team, and the majority of the
fms had picked them as winners, but
hck seemed to be against them, as
John Watt, who was rated as their
fest man was knottId up with
cramps, and It was only by the hard.
est work that he was able to come
lin among the first 25. Had Watt "a.
ken third place, the Punahou team
would have won. The first three OF
the Oahuans men came in among the
first 10, Malcolm futile coming, in
first for the buff and blue in sixth
place and Webster and O'Dowda COM
ing in eighth and ninth respectively.
Amos, the man who won the race
last year, was also troubled with his
stomach in Saturdays run and the
lest he was able to do only gave him
the eleventh place. Everybody ex-
pected ne would win or come in the
first five, but his legs would carry
him no faster and he ended in the
eleventh place.
How They Ran.
Almost 60 boys of all sizes, repre-
senting six schools, were lined up
across Alexander Field when Starter
Reeves called the runners to their
marks. A good crowd was on hand
land the rooters from Kamehameha
and Oahu College gave their runners
grand send-off. John Watt and Jim
my Dwight took the lead at the start
and from the way Watt started across
Alexander Field the o.. C. supporters
we're sure that he would make cred
| liable (showing. When the runners
had reached the other side of Rocky
Hill, Gordon Brown took the initial
position and Watt kept close on his
heels. During the first mile Brown
ran in excellent form and Watt was
right with him. The Punahou men
dropped back and when the runners
we're started, home Amos was in the
lead running a good, steady pace. As
was the case with Watt, he only kept
the lead for short while. Carey and
Souza began to pass the other men in
the last mile and Woolsey was gain
ing ground in great shape. For the
rest of the third mile until the finish
lad been reached Carey held the first
rlace. He was not pushed especially
nard until the last quarter of a mile
when he had to put all his efforts into
lis strides to keep himself ahead Of
euZa, who was covering the last bit
the course in a beautiful style.
NThere was hardly man who fin.
