RELAY SHOULD !.
DECIDE winner
OF TRACK MEET
St. Louis, Kan. and Punahou
Should Be Close in Regular
Events; Relay important

Who will win the interscholastic
track meet on Saturday? That CUES.
ton is getting to be the regular
phrase when deyotees of track and
field get together. It looked at first
as though the Kan squad had the
/ meet mailed down solid, but since that
time the other schools have been
showing up well, and the dopesters
are still figuring. .:.. ..>.....---..
Looking at the situation from all
the dope that is available. the team
which comes home first, in the re-
| lay will win the meet. The events
may figure out differently, but from
the showing made to date. the state.
i'ment is the natural conclusion. II a
I team can win the meet without win.
ming the ten points that go for the
relay. then the dope that is out this
year will be all upset. :, "A, .. Z. I'D
Kan Team Figures. -
Kamehameha should be assured of
! number of points in the various
events, perhaps picking up eight In
the shot, three in the broad jump, two
in the vault and high Jump, three In
the hurdles and perhaps eight in the
sprints. Then is left the distance
runs, and here the dope may change
bit. Woolsey is picked to win the
mile and Eaton the half mile, and
Ahuna is figured strong in the quarter,
but IL Kan can annex eleven points in
these three events, the squad will
have done a good days work. This
amounts to q trifle over 80 points, and
! st. Louis will have to, annex only
about % points and the relay to win.
Hore is expected to win at least
Is points In the 1e0.- the hurdles and
the broad jumps i Fernandez should
pick up at least point In the dashes,
while Carey and the others ST. Louis.
stars should run close to points in
the distance runs. If;this comes to
pass. and Hore can have the strength
to place in the 220yard event. the st.
Louis team should be ;theS3winner Of
the meet. I ..-..5.-. -.-~..
Punahou Close to 80 Points 80 T.. - I. 4
Punahou has not figured in the pos
sibilifies of taking the relay. event. but
Coach Midkiff has a lot of stuff up
his sleeve and may spring g. surprise,
but from the dope that has come out
of his camp today, the team does not
look ripe for a cleanup in this event.
But then there is the ever uncertainty
Of slump.
Punahpu should start right off the
reel with Is points in the high iumD
and pole vault with Lindley and Mott
Smith in shape. Then Clifford is good
for point in the shot. and Kauhane
should make close to three points In
the broad jump.
If Punahou can gather five points
out of the distance runs. and Glib
can collect two points in the spirits
and hurdles then the Punahou team
will have a chance to win, providing
that they land the relay.
Mckinley has no chance Of winning.
and the same NAV be said for Mills,
but the three leading teams an have
a chance to win, and when the first
man crosses the tape the jersey he
is wearing will correspond with the
Jerseys o. the winning team II thel
done runs true to form.
440 Uncertain.
The race that should be hardest TO
figure is the 44O-yard run. In this
race the Kan SQUAD will figure on
Ahuna, while Mckinley may send in
Hawkins il his foot Is in good shape.
Then Smith should Snow up wen for
Punahou, and Lambert may be the
logical man for st. Louis.
In the S80-yard run Eaton, Carey,
Kaikaka, Stickney, Hawkins, Bush,
Lee and Stanley may be entered, and
of this squad Eaton looks the best at
present. In the mile the race between
Woolsey, Stickney and Carey should
be interesting with Chun Lee Puck.
Amos, Uweloa and others figured
strong.
Hore Picked In 100.
In the 100-yard event Hore is picked |
to win with Simeona, Fernandez and
Glib to place. Simeona, Dover, Hore
and Glib should also show up well In |
the fllrlong event.
Kaikaka, Ioane and John Clifford |
look like the best bets in the shct with
II. Bertlemann strong contender for
a point. Lindley and Mott-Smith |
should score first and second IN both
the vault and high jump. while Thorn
as Hore on form should win from
Noble Kauhane in the broad jump
with Anahu, Wright and Lindley Tight
ing for third.
Race in Hurdles.
This leaves the hurdles, and in this
event Hore should beat out Dover
he is not overworked. Per-
haps the Kan timber topper will
spring a surprise, but Hore has a
slight edge. Peter Wright and Glib
also figure in this event with Casper
q possibility The Punahou hurdler
should land third.
In the relay event heap of things
might happen, and st. Louis may I'M
cover a sprinter who can better the
showing made last Saturday. At the
present it looks like Hore. Fernandez
and Baptiste for three places, WITH
The last man to be decided.
Brother Elmer may locate . man
who can SOW a good sprint in this
event. Kan viii have Simeona, Doy-
or, Ahuna and one other runner while L
Midkiff has not Jet announced his /
selection Capt Booth has numberls
