In commenting on the formation of
the Hawaiian Intercollegiate Football
Association, the Star said yesterday:
Just why the league has chosen to
callitself an inter collegiate association
is hard to determine. OF course the
PunahOus are collegians. John Wise
and a few other members of the teams
may be collegians, but combination
of artillery and athletic clubs would
have chosen more apt title. Inter
collegiate sounds nice though"
The term intercollegiate" is used to
distinguish the code of rules under
which the league games will be play
ed Had the title Hawaiian Football
Association" been adopted, there would
have been confusion with that other
local football association which plays
the game under association rules.
The association football players
practice at Makiki on Monday, We'd
nesday and Thursday afternoons, at 4
o'clock All lovers of "socker'' are cor
daily invited to attend.
