r awkins and Kanakanui Win.
Punahou had a well-baIanced team
and scored in every event. Kanakanui
started the scoring for the Buff and
Blue when he finished ahead Of Haw-
kins in the 100-yard event. Hawkins
came back in the 50-yard swim and
finished ahead of Noble Kauhane by
three yards. with Kanakanui in third
place In the furlong the Punahou
natators had it all their own way, as
Mckinley did not enter this event.
Higgins won from Harvey by taking
the lead in the third turn, while
Franco, who was not in condition, took
third place. .-=. .."
In the diving events the spectators
had the pleasure of watching COM
ing star, HjOrth of st. Louis. This lit
tie fellow, wnO does not look big
enough to compete in such an event,
startled the crowd by his great work
On a number of occasions. His failure
t. score in three dives put him out
of the running for place, Fred Car
ter was the star of the low diving,
winning nearly every event by care,
full work and fine form. Bromley was
second and Thurston third. Thurston
won out in the high diving, but Brom'
ley and Carter, who finished in Sec
ond and third places, gave great ex'
hibitions. ......~.
Relay to Mckinley. .~~.- .: p.
The relay event was won by McKin-
ley on technicality. Punahou had
the race well in hand up to the fourth
lap, when Franco, being over-anxious,
left the mark before Harvey finished,
and although Punahou finished ahead,
the race was awarded to the high
school swimmers The race was even
for greater part of the distance, but
Harvey placed the Punahou team in
the running by good squirt.
Hawkins was the big point-winner
OF the meet, annexing 13 points, by
winning the back-stroke and the 90
yard event and finishing second in the
10G-yard swim. The meet was espe-
cially well handled w. T. Rawlins,
the dean of swimming in Hawaii, was
the starter, and he had the events on
their way in a regulation manner.
Among the notables who acted as
judges were Duke Kahanamoku and
Ludy LANCER, worlds champions, and
Clair TAFT, the noted diving instructor,
