THURSDAY FOOTBALL
HEAVY WEIGHTS TO PLAY AT
PUNAHOU.
Honolulus Versus Punahous Should
Furnish a Good Game-Both VIII
Play Their Strongest Teams.

Local interest will center on the
| Thanksgiving Day game next Thursday
afternoon between the Punahou and
| Honolulu Athletics and there will prob
ably be the biggest turn out of the
| season to witness the efforts of the
opposing teams.
Not even a tropical climate and a
| lengthy residence therein can dismiss
the general feeling that Thanksgiving
could get along almost as well without
the traditional turkey as without
football game.
1t is satisfactory that the two teams
scheduled for that date seem likely to
put up a first class game. 1t will prac-
tically be a championship game and de-
eide the standing of the league for the
season
The Punahous have already one to
their credit while the Honolulus have
only a draw. OF course if the Puma
hous win the Thursday game the jig
will be up for the rest of the contestants
but this is precisely what the Honolu-
lus have made up their minds not to al
low. They are training and practicng
hard to break the string of success to
the credit of the Punahous and if they
succeed in doing so or draw the game
and win from the Artilleries they will
be in the running for the league pre-
mership. At present the Punahous
have played two games of which they
have won or drawn each. The Male
IlimaS have drawn the two games they
have played and the Honolulus the one
battle they have been in. The only loss
of the season stands against the Artil-
leries so that with the exception of the
last team all three of the others are
liable to tie for first place.
Thursdays game will not see the dis
crepancies of weight between the teams
that the last two league matches have
witnessed. The opposing men are pref
ty evenly matched and if they tackle
low and play hard the game should be
interesting.
The Honolulus We're working hard
last night practising signals and will
play a stiff game with several changes
in the line up. Gleason will go back to
half and Thompson take his place as
quarter back while Chillingworth may
take Lawrence's place, the latter hav-
ing been injured in the last game and
not yet being in shape Chillingworth
should make a crack football player if
he had time to practice. Hard as nails
and quick he is a valuable man of the
greyhound type of player to have on a
team
The Punahous have reported no
changes from last Saturdays line up
although there has been some unplea- !
santness resulting from the game that
may end in Morse standing out of the
team.
These displays of umbrage at petty !
jealousies and imaginary sights and
injuries are very childish and unsports~
manlike and ought to be eliminated
THE team first and foremost and per
sonal trouble next" has been the motto
of every successful team. Morse is a
valuable man and so is any member
who has been playing two or three con-
secutive matches in any team.
The Oahu College team has gone out
of training not being able to secure a
game. Next season the work of or
ganizing light weight teams will be
commenced earlier.
The fund for bringing down the Olym-
pics is steadily growing and has now
nearly reached 800. AS soon as the II
pledges amount to a sum that leaves
deficit that the gate money is liable to
cover, word will he sent to Manager
Muma extending the invitation. Con-
siderable discussion is being held over
the admission price for the game. The
largest attendance so far this season |
has resulted in about 800 which at
twenty five cents, the popular price
means 1913. IT is proposed to place
number of chairs in a rOped enclosure
and charge an extra fee of ten or per-
haps twenty five cents for these reserV-
ed seats which will take the place of a
grand stand without much
expense. This would swell the receipts {
to $500 a sum that has been fixed upon I
as about the needed return. t
The Y. NJ. c. A. Seniors have a har- {
'ier's run this evening to take the place t
IF the last one, postponed on account of |
an accident in the gymnasium to one of [
the members. An important business |
meeting viii be called after the return
