ment, because only one record was
broken, this in the 440-yard dash
which was won by Smith Of Punahou in
80 2-5 seconds, the old record having
been SO s-5 seconds, set by Watt OF
Punahou in 1914. To win the race and
break the record Smith odtran Bush Of
Mckinley, whom he beat TO the tape
by hard sprint in the last $50 yards.
He Refuses To Jump
Two other records were near being

KAN Leong Chup Of Mckinley, feet

imated by Observation-Disclosures that
would have broken the record-but, de.
pite the invitation Of officials, Kan
refused TO continue. He at least could
ave nut the bar at the record height
or above and have taken three trials
at it.
Eaton won the half mile run in easy
ashton, distapcing Singlehurst by
forty yards. His time was minutes
seconds, within four-hfths Of sec.

have broken the record, especially since

Cleanups BY Kan
Kamehameha's big cleanups were
made in the mile run, in which II took

took two first and two seconds tor
Kan, sixteen points in all. Yester-

The first heat Of the 100.yard dash
was in 10 AS seconds, Fernandez Of st.
I.ouis leading, and the second was in
% 3,5, Bush Of Mckinley leading. Fer
nandez took the finals in 10 2.5, with
IN one.ffth OF the record, Bush being
third; but Bush had had hard race in
the 44o, and the 100 finals we're delayed
Ave minutes for him.
Feature Of Mile
The mile run, a. slow race, was
featured by the running Of Stanley Of
Punahou. Stanley's left arm is on at
he shoulder, which Is a severe handi-
zap for a runner, but he ran gamely,
md even took the lead near the end Of
he third lap, losing il, however, to
Jweloa, who won in 5 minutes 4.5 see

The pole vault and high jump we're
'omewhat wearisome, because there
we're several entrants who could not
tand any pace whatever, but time
vas required to eliminate them. The
mark of Peterson Of Punahou in the
pole vault, 10 feet 6 inches, did not
sven approach the record Of Fassoth
If Punahou, II feet Az inches, set In
1913. The high jump, as stated, was
much better, and only the refusal Of
Kan Leong Chun to continue appar.
,ntly prevented record from being
broken. >.. ...$
The 220-yard hurdles were won cas-
:ly by Dover of Kamehameha in 27 40
seconds, As slower than the record;
but Dover and You Bun Hee had
battle in the 220.yard dash, Dover
winning by inches in 80 l.5 seconds,
l-5 slower than the record.
Far Behind Records 3@
The underground shot put, won by
Bertlemann of Kamehameha with AZ
feet inches, and the broad jump, won
by Kauhane Of Punahou with I'll feet
o inches, were far under the records.
The 440-yard dash was the only record.
breaker of the day. Bush OF Nc
Kinley was leading up to the straight.
away, with Smith of Punahou behind
him on the inside Smith had to work
from behind Bush, but, he did this,
beat him. In q burst OF speed in the
straightaway aud went to the tape
such a clear winner that Bush did not
contest the last ten yards. The time,
52 2-5 seconds, broke the old Inter,
scholastic record of SO 3-5.
The half.mile relay, the most spec.
taeular event of the meet, was robbed,

lead Of Kamehameha, which went 20
