SECOND TEAMS PLAY
RATTLING FOOTBALL
OAHU COLLEGE AND HIGH
SCHOOL MIX THINGS
Opening Game of the Season Shows
Fine Team Work and Promises Well
for Great American Game-No Grand
Stand Playing Attempted

Nothing to nothing was the score
at the end of u closely-contested game
fought on Alexander Field yesterday
afternoon between the second teams
OF Oahu College and the High School.
. The game was characterized by con-
sistent team work and was an exam
pie OF really excellent team work.
Both elevens were of about equal
strength and but one time was there
any immediate prospect of score.
| That was near the end of the first
half, when Pail of the High School
picked up the bail which James had
iumbed or forward pass and car
ried II across Oahu's line. The High
School boys began to shout Touch
down" but the forward-pass- tumble
rule gave the bali to the men from
Punahou.
At no other time was the Oahu
goal line seriously threatened, though
In the second half the Punahou men
Kept the High School lads eternally
on the Qui vive to prevent a score.
AS the game was in the nature OF
Il try-out for. both teams, there were
several changes made In the lineup
mt the end of the second half. AS far
rs the College was considered. some
strength was evidently gained BY the
substitutions. though It would he a
difficult matter to pick out any par
ticular weaknesses in the lineup dur
ing the first half.
During the first half Oahu's great
est weakness seemed to he tenden-
cy to tumble at critical times. Sew
eral forward passes went wrong be-
cause Oahu men could not keep their
! fingers on the pigskin and It looked
as though little straight catching
practice might be to the advantage of
the players.
Another weakness, which became
apparent once or twice on both sides.
was the lack of certainty In tackling
and the inability of the men To leave
the ground. The dummy might assist
in obviating this trouble.
But all the criticisms that any one
might make could be but with the
hope OF making two good teams into
better ones. The play was clean and
| sportsmanlike and, above all, showed
| that the players were quite ready to
| subordinate personal ambition to the
welfare of their respective elevens.
There were no attempts at grand
stand" plays, such as frequent many
football games at the beginning OF a
season.
Above all the game demonstrated
that the prescribed mass plays are
not necessary to make the game OF
intercollegiate football interesting
and exciting.
The lineup Of the teams was as
| follows:
High SchoOl--Awai le.; James,

HELkNE AWARDED
TIE BECKLEY CUP
COMMITTEE DECIDES, YACHT WAS
WINNER OF RACE.
Action Of Authorities in Calling Con-
test mo Mans Is 0verruled and the
Treasured Trophy Is Handed Into the
Keeping of Victorious Skipper

The unfortunate controversy over
the Beckley Cup race, held on June
"a last, has been settled by the Re
gatta Committee of the Hawaii Yacht
Club, the trophy being awarded to
the yacht Helene.
The misunderstanding was due to
the fact that, when the competing
yachts reached Diamond Head on the
day Of the race, the stake-boat was
not there. There was some delay
before a stake-boat was stationed
and, In consequence, the race was
called NO Mans" by the committee.
The following correspondence he
tween those concerned in the affair
explains the position CT all and makes
matters clear:
Aug. 20, Mr.. c. 7. Wilder. Dear
Sir:--l have just been Informed by
! two members of the Hawaii Yacht
Club that the yacht Helene won the
race for the Becklcy cup by two min
Gtes corrected time allowance on
June "a last but, by an arbitrary
ruling of the chairman of the regatta
committee, the race was declared off
without written protest of irregular
tiles by any yachts captain. II the
above facts are correct, the yacht He.
lene is entitled to the cup this year.
( Yours truly (signed Fred. Whitney,
/ captain Helene"

who had planned to go along, and
1t was decided better to call the

On just what date the cruise will
be made has not yet been decided,

that 1t will be this month. A cruise

WONDERFUL TREE
AND ITS FRUIT

Wonderful stories have been going
the rounds OF the press or the country
concerning a box Of apples containing
seventy-three varieties all grown on the
same tree. (which was presented by
Luther Burbank TO the Leland stanford
Junior University. DR.. David Starr
Jordan, president Of the university,
smiled when questioned concerning IT
the other day.
There is nothing wonderful about
IT," he said. The only marvel Is ir the
extreme variety which the crosz-bT eed-
ing Of the towering plants always
yields
Now over the river, now under the
Now turn to the right at the skeleton
larCh-
Now down through the dale where the
flowers grow IN June.
And nome by the light Of the young
crescent moon.
Having seventy-three kinds on one tree
is no marvel at all Burbank has, IN
one case, 800 varieties Of 7lums on one
tree. and as you see, one can have as
many as there are twigs. A correct
statement Of the case is as follows:
with view to developing a new
race OF apples. Mr. Burbank took one o.
his trees of the variety called 'EaTly
Williams and crossed the flowers Uy
poufnation with other desirable apples.
believing that some Of the resultant
apple seeds would have the good char
acters of both the parents. while others
would have bad characters in differing
and variant combination. Naturally
some of these flowers had already been
fertiIized by insects. so that Burbank
could not control the output OF the
tree
Planting a hundred or two Of these
seeds, as many little trees would be
produced. each one OF these trees being
a cross would naturally develop a new
kind OF apple: IN fact. no two seeding
apples are ever alike
f'OUt OF many little trees all the
dWarfish, unthr1fty and undesirable
ones are at once grated on the twigs
Of a healthy old tree. This brings them
at once into bearing, for the new wood
replaces the old, and the character OF
the leaves, flowers. and fruit Is deter
mined by the CRAFTS not at all by the
character of the old tree
From q tree Of this sort seventy
three kinds Of apples were produced,
and all of these Mr.. Burbank sent to
the university, and I have transferred
them for preservation 10 the state
hoard OF agriculture. which has placed
them IN fornaline at the san Francisco
ferry building.
