CAMP WRITES HIS VIEWS

Replies to Those Who Criticisc Foot
ball for its Alleged Brutality -Thc
Game Brings Out the Men.

Walter Camp. who was coach for
Stanford's football team i'm 1894 aud
who has many warm friends in
Honolulu, has made very intelligent
reply to the charges brought against
football on the grounds of brutality.
He writes to an Island friend saying:
Baseball is i'm most of the colleges

alling the expenses. Baseball is un-
questionably the national game. We
all love baseball and some of us love
football. too.
AS to the number actually engag-
ed i'm the sport of football at the pres
ent day i'm the large universities, it is
safe to say that il brings out more
men than any of the other athletic
branches. There is a fallacy not un-
common among those unfamiliar with
the facts of college sports to the effect
that only the eleven men who play in
the match game receive the benefits
of the outdoor exercise. I'm point of
fact these eleven men represent the
pick from fifty to one hundred candi-
dates. and i'm addition to this there
are at most of the universities class
teams which bring out thirty or forty

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
Solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
