GAME
OF FOOTBALL.
SEASON

NSNNNSAA
afternoon with the game between the
Male Ilimas and the H. A c. team,
and from the outlook there will be play
ed one of the best contests of the sea-
son. The two elevens will go into the
game with many good men, some stars
being absent, as Wright from the Ma
lies and Joy from the Honolulus, but
still with good people and hard ones to
beat.
The practice of the eleveps has been
hard and fast and they have prepared
for the closing of the season as care
fully as they trained for the first game.
The H. A. C. team is said to be in fair
shape, but owing to the absence of some
men may go in in different form than
it has yet appeared on the field. The
bad leg of Joy has kept him out of the
play and he will be missed, owing to his
aggressive form of play. Joy has de-
veloped greatly during the year and he
is now approaching the best form that
With proper training period Joy will
make first rater on the gridiron.
The Males are practically in their old
shape, with the exception of guard,
which place may have to be played by
Chiffon, placing Everett Richardson in
the center position. This will weaken
the team a little as Chiffon is very
hard man to replace, though Richard
son will make an able substitute. The
absence of Ellis also makes a difference
with the team. Should Wright get back
he will go in as guard at least for
one half, and thus strengthen the team.
The rest of the eleven is the same
which appeared in the first games of
the season, and the men are making
their form show in their practice work
The season closing has not been the
most remunerative, though the receipts
should show a fair amount to divide
between the three teams. The greatest
expense this season has been the hos
pital charge and outside of this it has
been light If the game today draws
the people that it should there will be
several hundred dollars to divide be-
tween the teams and the hackers are
of opinion that the results will be sat
isfactory. q
The H. A. c. team has an excellent
chance to win the game today. There
will be a long line of substitutes and
the men will not be played to the ex-
haustion point, which should mean fast
and hard ball all the way. The Male
team is up to hard game and should
make the pace tell. The H. A. c. line
will be hard to buck according to the
outlook, and if 1.-The game is of the
caliber expected it will be- well worth
seeing.
Taken as whole the season has fur
nished the people of Honolulu with as
good football as they have ever seen
during a series of six games. The dis
parity of the teams is not so evident.
The Punahou team has won by consis-
tent work, the men making themselves
as ready for the kind of play that they
have had to perform as they could, and
in the matter of training being first
70 vxiSh AfI,a
in the League. The others give promise
of developing some fast material anoth-
er season, and the outlook is that there
will be more than the three teams, once
the time for football comes around
again. The clubs certainly will put out
elevens which will make hard fight
and divide the honors more evenly.
The teams will play this afternoon
