Y ATHLETES To
HAYEGOOD Team
IN HEXATHLON'
International Meet VIII Bring
Out Many Stars in Local
Field; Begins Friday

''Hexathlon is the password at the
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasiums these days,
for when next week dawns il sees the
track men working out TO send the
very best possible records into the
New York Office. The international
hexathlon officially opens next Tues
day night, when the high jumpers, the
shot putters and the short potato rae
ers hold the stacy.
To the initiated the heXathlon
looks like a puzzle, but it is simply
contest in which the athletes have six
events, and they may go into one or
all of them After the best records
are made in all of the events the best
eight records in each event are sent
to New York to be compared with the
total of the best made by other assoc
Citations ON the mainland. This total
is arrived at by using a uniform scor-
ing system. In the shot put, for ex-
ample, the competitor who puts it out
80 feet inches has 90 points to his
credit, and If he succeeds in showing
the IL FOUNDER ont an even 43 feet he
has 100 points to his credit.
Honolulu Has Chance.
The high jumper who jumps only
3 feet inches is out of luck, but from
that point he wins his points until he
clears the bar at feet inches, where
he gets his 100 points And so it goes
through the six events From past ex-
perience it has been discovered that
the best athletes are able to amass an
average of about rs points to an event,
and it is believed that If Honolulu
could average IS points per man per
event that the big trophy would be
coming to the local association.
At first the spFinters wondered why
potato races were used instead of a
race around the track. But they soon
fell for the fact that all tracks are diff
ferent and that for race to be uni
form it would have to be run on fat
surface, and the only kind of a fiat
surface race that could be held would
be to have the contestants run around
two stationary points. This is what is
done. These potato races are not the
old Observation-Disclosures kind. but
two stationary points 30 feet apart are
placed on the gym floor and the run.
ner runs around the bowles placed
at these points. There is as much
form to running these races as in any
of the events
On next Friday night the athletes
are to run off the standing broad
jump, the fence vault and the long pc.
tato race, the 220-yard one. The in
termediate department is planning on
running its events off by clubs and the
inter-club competition will be the
keenest sort Incidentally. then, the
eight best records made in each event
will then be sent East.
