DOLE OF RIVERSIDE Y
WINS NEW HONORS

The San Francisco Examiners STAN
ford correspondent of recent date has
this:
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. ~.
w. H. Dole, '05, a Riverside boy. has
been awarded the punting cup donated
by the Quadrangle Club to be annually
presented 10 the Varsity football
player who does the best and most
consistent punting throughout the
football season. On last years team
the kicking of Dole was so far superior
in accuracy, distance and form to that
of any other player on the eleven that
the work of selecting the best punter
became a mere form. The star punter
will have his name engraved on the
cup and will be allowed to keep it in
his possession until his superior in the
kicking line appears.
Besides this new honor, the River
side boy holds many other college hon
ors. He has been the mainstay of the
Cardinal eleven at half-back for the
past three years and has also been d
point winner of the Varsity crack
team. Last year he was president Of
his class and q member of the Varsity
rowing crews.
The athlete is nephew of United
States District Judge Sanford B. Dole.

Short and fat, lying comfortably in

cigars ever made of Hamakua tobac-

And they were cigars that filed all
