The Pan-Pacific team is assured,

another team in Honolulu. Stanley

Bert Shannon, one of the best long
distance runners in the islands, is a
member of the 32nd Infantry, and has
his eye on a number of good runners.
Shannon would like to run the whole
distance, and he may be given an OPP
portunfty to do SO, but it is expected
that he will line UP team of strong
runners which will be backed by the
men of the 32nd Infantry. ~.
Chaplain Fealy, of the 1st Field
Artillery, has taken deep interest
in the big run, and 1t is expected that
he will do everything in his power to
secure runners from his regiment.
The 1st Infantry has not been heard
from as yet, but it is hoped that they
will get in the running in the very
near future The same holds true for
the 4th Cavalry and 9th rleld Artil-
lery.

There is a possibility that Mills may
not enter the big race after all, de-
spite the fact that the date was
changed from Sunday to Monday. The
students appear to be keen on back

assured that the Chinese merchants

Many runners believe that Mills
would have runaway race of it in the
long run, but with Chinese team and
a Japanese team entered there would
be lots of interest. There are score
of excellent Japanese runners in the
city, and it would be a great honor
for a Japanese or Chinese team to
win.
