POINTS SCORED.

Is 50 &c q
BENJAMIN Mills and his sterling ath
letes from the 18th Infantry captured
the honors in the A. A. l.. meet held
az Alexander field on Saturday after
noon. They scored a total OF Is
points, which gave item nearly as
large a total as the second and third
teams.
The Trail & Mountain Club showed
surprising strength, and finished in
second place with total OF 50 points,
the unattached athletes scored %
points, while Kamehameha was fourth
J with "a points.
Seven Hawaiian records were brok-
en-, and two we're 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 a number OF
the events that they had not appeared
IN before.
Well Attended
Tie meet was we'll attended. and
the class Of the events was exception.
ally good, but in the future some ar
rankement 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 a number of spectators who per.
haps would not have come II the adj
mission had been placed at 10 cents
or rs cents.
Despite the fact that the A. A. u.
rule provides that one field doctor is
listed rs 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 q list Of records which had
not been revised In many moons. and
many arguments occurred when the
records were. consulted II might not
be a bad feature to 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.
4. 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
points for Saturdays meet should
show: First. 5 points: second,
points: third. 2 points. and fourth, ]
point.
II the interscholastic league viii
take advantage of these mistakes on
next saturday It is certain that the
meet Will he run off in better man
ner. and the crowd will be pleased.
Track SfhR6cs is certain to be big
feature lalthe future, and mere satten-
ton to these details viii help out
materially
Gilbert. Runs VI Fiat Time
The big feature o. the rceet was the
showing made BY Clyde Gilbert in the
1o0.yard, dash The speed merchant
Of the 25th Infantry breasted the tape
in 10 sec. flat, which should win nine
out of ten events on the mainland
The fact that the track was heavy
gives he-tunners from the 18th Infan-
try chance Tor . bright future. II
might not be b bad idea to send this
runner % the mainland for crack at
the best spriiifers "A California
