ALL CONFIDENT
ON EVE Of BIG
CORNELL meet

The Kamehameha field viii be the
center OF unlimited excitement tomor-
row Afternoon when six teams, repre-
senting six different institutions about
the city. will compete for the Cornell
cup When the cadets won the Cor
nell relays last year they took the
trophy for one year, but they will
have to win the relays for two more
years before the trophy is theirs for
keeps. The meet tomorrow will de-
eide who will hold the cup during the
year Of 1914.
Practice has been going on steadily
on the tracks about the city and every
team is in excellent condition for the
runs. Those who have followed the
doings OF the cinder path artists in the
various try-outs figure that the meet
will be very close and that no team
will win without the hardest of strug
giles.
Although the cadets do have 20
point lead. the Qahuans are only eight
points behind them and If things go
the way the latter wish them to. that
eight points will be easy to make up.
Considering all the times made by
the teams that are entered, the Puma
hou men figure that they will be able
to win two relays If not three. There
are some strong men among the Pu-
nahou jumpers and yaulters and with
10 or more points won through the
jumps and other field events Punah0u
should be able to win the meet

dark horse the McKinleyites will take
the mile relay Rice is about the
best quarter-uiler in the islands, while
Melin and Wong are not far behind
him. Although Mckinley does have
superb four Punahou and Kamehame-
ha will make them run for all they
are worth to win the event.
The half-mile relay will probably be
the most exciting run of the afternoon.

The four men who are to run covered
the course in 1:3S and if they are
