second for Lahaina and Miss Hart
third, which made her an IL point
winner for Wailuku.
Mems 220 was won by Young, Puu-
meme, Boyum of Paia second and A.
Rego, Waiuku, third; time 2:33 Is.
That of Wailuku easily excelled in
low spring board diving, Humphrey
and Taylor, both of Paia, second and
third. Tate also won the mems
plunge for distance, So feet and the
high dive, thus giving Wailuku Is
points through his efforts. He was In
a class by himself and his perform
ances compared very favorably with
the exhibitions which were given by
Haig Prieste. In the plunge second
and third went to Taylor and Hump
hrey of Puunene and in the high dive
the places were taken by Boyum and
Jones of Paia.
The so yards sprint was another
very close affair, Ted Hair of Paia
winning in dive with A. Rego be-
side him and Hamasai of Lahaina
third; time 26 2-5.
In both the mems and women's re-
lay races some of the contestants
were too anxious and made too quick
getaways. This resulted in the dis
qualification of the Puunene team in
the girls event and both Wailuku and
Paia in the mems event.
Wailuku scored first again in the so
yards backstroke with Kalaniakea
who swan an especially fine race and
made the distance in 35 Is. Lindsay
of Lahaina was second and Yamashi-
ia, Puunene third.
Scouts Do Well
Boy Scouts swan a rafting good
100 yard relay. Wailuku's team seem
ed to shade the others all the way
through and led Puunene at the finish
Lahaina's last swimmer lost his di-
rection when half way home, turned
at right angles and swan to the op-
posite side, dashing the hopes of his
team mates.
Matsushima of Lahaina won the so
for boys under Is, Yemoto, Kahului
second and Helekuni, Puunene, third
time 32 2-5.
Keen interest centered about the
exhibitions by the Olympic stars and
their work was watched intently.
Harris swan 22O in 2:24 and later he
swan with Duke Kahanamoku in the
100. They kept close together and
but the propeller like foot work Of
the Duke, seen in the clear water,
was a marvel and revelation to the
witnesses. The two oar race of Duke
and Harris was also admirable. Har-
ris was foreward and Duke swan
over his feet and legs. The arms of
the swimmers worked in perfect
rythm and the crowd was delighted.
Dukes exhibition of 25 yards breast
stroke, 25 back stroke, 25 feet only,
25 Australian crawl and 25 Hawaiian
crawl pleased nightly. His work
was demonstration of the skill and
ability that has made and kept him
a champion.
Haig Prieste gave a really worth
while exhibition of diving both from
the low board and from 21 feet into
eight feet of water. His every per-
formance was greeted with applause
and later his comedy diving eXcelled
any thing of the kind ever seen on
Maui before.
Closing the program was the Pake
Relay and for comedy it was a scream
Nothing like it has ever been produc-
ed here on screen or stage as laugh
raiser.
Though the program lasted a full
three hours there was none to say
1t was too long or at any time weari-
some.
Credit is due the ushers for the
manner in which they handled a de-
cidedly difficult task.
