MILLS SCHOOL
TEAM FIRST IN
CROSS COUNTRY
Wins Long Run BY Low Score;
WooIsey of KAN First
at Finish

Mills School demonstrated the value
of consistent training on Saturday aft
ernoon when they won the annual
Cornell cross country run on the Pun
ahou campus. Mills School was an
easy winner with the low score of 23
points, and 10 of the runners finished
better than I'D in the. event. Kane
hameha had well-rounded team, com
ing in second with As points.
TOT Woolsey of Kamehameha goes
the honor. of crossing the line first
Woolsey ran a steady race through
out, and by a burst of speed in the
last 220 yards, won out. Stanley Carey
who had been figured upon to win the
event, dropped out on the second time
around the course, when he was lead
ing the field by 30 yards. The squad
was we'll punched the first time
around the course, and Woolsey. Stick,
ney, Chun Lee Puck and Carey were
running strong.
Carey Drops Out.
Carey was the first runner to come
in sight On the last turn before the
runners came on to the track, but
dropped out, and Woolsey took first
position, followed by Stickney. Three
Mills runners were next with Eaton
leading Jack Lee of Mckinley. The
next three runners were Mills men,
and they were running a steady race.
Stickney kept his position and was
the first runner to make the track for
the last 400 yards. Woolsey followed
behind and caught the high school
runner on the back stretch and raced
home an easy winner. Chun Lee Puck
and Amos caught Stickney 20 yards
from the finish and both runners fin
ished ahead of the high school runner.
Lee finished strong and passed Eaton
and Teragawa in the last lap. V.
Uweloa ran a good race in the last
half-mile and passed several runners,
finishing tenth.
Mills Springs Surprise.
Mills School deserves credit for the
great showing made by their team, as
they furnished a number of runners
who had the qualities for a long run.
Several of the runners showed burst
of speed, and Mills should have some
worthy representatives in the mile
run during the Interscholastic meet.
When the remark was made: Watch
out for Mills" several of the on look
ers laughed, but when the men came
around the second turn the Mills men
convinced the doubling Thomases that
they had an excellent chance for vic.
tory, and they proved it by finishing
first by a wide margin.
Some of the Kamehameha men had
good spurts, especially Woolsey, but
others did not appear to stand the
grind. Sickness in the squad natural
ly slowed the runners up some, but it
would have taken a grand team to
defeat Mills in the long distance event
The course was for the most part
over the Punahou campus, and the
runners passed the track twice, giving
the many spectators an opportunity
to follow the race. The run was han
died in excellent shape, and no dis
qualifications marred the meeting OF
one of the best cross country events
that has been staged in Honolulu.
