Well balanced Team
The performances of the Punahou
swimmers in the Thurston races at Pm.
nahou gave prophecy of what would
happen in the Yale meet. The Pun
team was exceedingly we'll balanced;
for example, Punahou won at least one
point in every contest, whereas McKin-
ley failed to score in two and Kameha-
meha failed TO score in four Punahou
swept the baekstroke, taking all the
nine points. Pnnahou's winning relay
{ Am was composed of Harvey, Woods
Watt, Pratt and Kanakanui. Each maR
swan forty yards.
Ribbons for the first, second and
third men in each event were donated
by l.. A. Thurston.
Kanakanui of Punahou was the in,
dividnal star--excluding Of course,
Clarence Lane of Kamehameha, whose
lpurels already have been won time and
time again. Lane scored thirteen points
for Kamehameha, Kanakanui eleven
for Punahou, Pratt eight for Punahou
and All Kin zee six for Mckinley.
Kanakanui looks like real conner. One
of the surprises, IL not the greatest sur
prise, was All Kin Yee's victory over
Lane in the 220-yard swim, for, al
though the 900 is not Lanes distance,
he. was expected to win. All Kin Yee
fought all the way and won handily, 5

One Y. M. @. A. tank record was
broken by Lane in the 50-yard dash,
but only two timers caught him and 1t
could not be allowed as a record. Pratt
came near to tying a former feat by
making 50 feet 3 inches in the plunge
for distance, time limit one minute. He
had gone the whole length of the tank,
sixty feet, before. " ~ gEa5 n
Reginald Cooper, captain of the Me-
Kinley team, said that he would protest
the relay race because of foul by
Clark, the fourth Kamehameba man,
ag inst Jacobson, the fourth High
swimmer. He said that Clark cut across
jacobson at the mauka end Of the tank.
He could not find the judges after the
meet to enter the protest last night. II
the protest were allowed it would give
Mckinley undisputed second with 23
points and would throw Kamehameha
back TO Is. .g ,#'@.r.,t
Run Off in snappy Fashion D
The meet was run off in snappy
fashion byW t. Rawlins. There were
enough entrants to create interest but
not enough TO make things tiresome and
TO drag out, and the several hundred
spectators, many of whom were school
girls and of the families of students,
wore quite pleased. Former Governor
Walter +. Frear, PRECEDENT of the Yale
alumni, told of the desire of the assoc
alton to advance swimming among the
schools, which led to the offering Of the
cup for annual competition. The Yale
meet has taken It's place as one of the
best of the year in any branch Of
sports. ."'
