iention of the visitor Any afternoon
b. Is The same-as soon as the last ses-
sion has closed for the day there is a
grand rush for the campus where tho
students divide up into squads, each
student choosing the pastime dearest.
Training is the one subject Of CONVEX
sauOn aside from the comments one
hears in regard to the form Of this OF
that athlete.
sOCKER
on Saturday next the Punahou boys
viii line up against the Kamehamehas
iu the first sOcker game Of a series for
thet interscholastic championship SO
at present there is a bit more atten-
tion being paid to socker by the ath"
Ietes than the other sports. And the
boys shape up well.
The seeker team is working hard.
Last evening the boys played two
strenuous halves and played some very
credltable football The o. C.. boys are
/ "a fast bunch and they viii make a
F creditabIe showing If they do not win
the championship from the Kams. The
team is as follows:
. Forwards. Lyman. Dodge. To on,
. Taylor Mon Yin, Townsend and Sing
Chang subsritutesJ. Half-backs: Smith
T.. Dodge. Reed, CAkina and Whine sub
sututesJ. Fuu-back Wilmington and
Davis CcaptD Goal: Frazier.
OF the socker team Monkey Dodge
is perhaps the best player with Mon
Yin close second. Monkey" thor
oughly understands the art Of advance
|. ala n ynod
game. Mon Yin, who learned his clev-
erness from i. G. Blackman is fin
| ished player and although he is small
> he makes a very creditable showing
Charlie Lyman is a fast clever man, but
on account Of other duties he has not
given the time to socker as he should
and thus allowed these other mel to
] pass him. Lyman could easily be first
should he try
? Captain Diogenes Socrates Skinner
Davis. as he is called i'm that affection
which prompts expression in nick
names. Is a splendid man to have at the
head Of a sOcker team. His nickname
sa long one, but an undergraduate
without a nickname is like unto base
ball without a cover-no good. Davis
IS a good man i'm the place and yester-
day he gave his team a talking to
which showed that he was in earnest
. in his desire to do all that he could for
the glory Of his school. He has the
right spirit and his team should have
full confidence in him. He told them
I'm plain English yesterday that If they
, did not want to practice under his di-
rection that ne would step out and LET
some one else take his place. 1t was a
noticeable fact that harder grinding
work was done in the second half OF
the practice game. PunahOu would dc
7 well to have a few more captains with
as much spirit and with as much desire
10 have their school win contests, as
has Davis. It is the spirit that counts
= and Davis has the spirit
h WATER POLO
n With the Diamond Head Athletic
s Club the Punahou boys are soon to try
= conclusions at water polo. The big tanl
g at the college is the scene every after
: noon Of much hard work, learning the
game and getting onto the tricks which
j. must be a part Of every water polk
r players game. George p. Cooke, cap
g tain Of Yale's water polo team at on
I time, is busily engaged in showing th'
e boys the game and a good, speedy team
IS is being developed. The boys turninl
e out are as follows: Townsend, Tee
II and Wallace Cooper, Wilmington, Ray
e mond Smith, Hitchcock, Stanley ant
Francis Dodge and Frazier. TOWNSEND
e is acting captain and is a clever maj
II at the sport. Cooper is a good maj
u and will probably do much to furthe
l. the cause of Punah9u when the team
meets the d. H. A. c. Cooper is one o
the good men of the Hawaiian Swim
ming Club. The date for the gam
/ with the Heads is not set, but it wi
l. be within a few weeks.
" BASEBALL
- It is a little early in the year to 80
"A line on the baseball material of tn
M | College, but the boys are tossing tn
horse-hide about the campus in a livel
manner. Charlie Lyman is shown
splendid form in throwing from Il
1, slab and may make that position. TV
n or three other men are working gu
lie but 1t is unlikely that they VIII be-
r. Charlie out. The hard work in bas
ball will come as soon as track is o
Of the way.
