and today will make their final run.
The Hui Nalu canoe will contain the
older and more experienced paddlers
of the two and for this reason Is con-

Greatest interest will probably be
| in the second race-the senior six
cared sliding seat contest in which
Filo, Healani and Myrtle will enter
barges. Hilo won from both OF the
other two in the Fourth of July races
at the Crescent City, upsetting almost
every demonstration OF the results
of the event. Although they are now
racing against the two local crews in
the latter's home course, they are I'M
doubtedly expecting to win the race
again.
Duke Kahanamoku will stroke the
Myrtle crew in this race tomorrow.

; dditional interest to it. The Myrtles
look for a victory ir this race also.
Hollinger will stroke the Healanl

the Hilo six.

With victories for the four past
years on their record, the Healani
freshman crew has long record to
live up to in its race with the Myr-
ties. They have been spending extra
effort on this crew because of the
traditional significance of a victory
and are, of course, the favorites OF
the race. The last time that the Myr-
