BENJAMIN ATiIls' and his sterling ath
letes from the 25th Infantry captured
the honors in the A. A. L. meet hello
at Alexander field on Saturday after
noon. They scored a total Of "a
points, which gave them nearly as
large total as the second and third
teams.
The Trail G. Mountain Club showed
surprising strength, and finished in
second place with total Of 50 points
the unattached athletes scored 2S
points. while Kamehameha was fourth
with "a points. -. . 49,. .. r..
Seven Hawaiian records were brok,
en-, and two were equaled, while one
American record was equaled when
Mills breasted the tape in 2-5 sec
onds In the short sprint. The 25th
Infantry track team, coached by Mills,
showed TO advantage in number Of
the events that they had not appeared
in before. >#s..-...
Well Attended -. .=... ~.
The meet was we'll attended. and
the class of the events was exception
ally good, but in the future some ar
rangement should be made to handle
the meet in a better manner. Unne-
cessary delay in staging some of the
events robbed the meet of much OF
its good quality.
The crowd swarmed upon the field
continuously, and at one time there
was as many, people on the field as
there was on the banks. The fact that
the meet was free of course brought
in number OF spectators who per
haps would not have come IL the ad.
mission had been placed at 10 cents
or % cents
Despite the fact that the A. A. u.
rule provides that one field doctor is
listed as an official, there was none
on Saturday, and Glenn Jackson could
not locate one doctor in the crowd
when Lindley was injured.
Records Not Correct
In boosting track events the good
points and bad points should be
brought out so that this can be taken
care of in the future. The programs
showed a list OF records which had
net been revised in many moons, and
many arguments occurred when the
records were consulted. 1t might not
be bad feature 10 revise the records
at least once each year
Another feature that was evidently
overlooked in some cases was the
awarding of fourth places. The A. A.
II. meets during the past few years
have recognized first, second, third
and fourth positions. while the inter-
collegiate recognizes the first, second,
third. fourth and fifth positions. The
rciuts for SATURDAYS meet should
show. First, s. points; second. s
points: third, 2 points, and fourth. !
point.
If the interscholastic league viii
take advantage Of these mistakes on
nayt saturday It is certain that the
n,aet win be run off in a better man
nav and the crowd viii be pleased.
Track athletics IS certain to be big
taa,nre in tina Ature. and mere atten-
tion 10 these details Will help out
materially. 80
