Both lads are taking the coming bout
very seriously, as it means much to
both of them. If Reilly makes good
here, he expects to stay and earn a
reputation, while McFadden has enough
of a reputation to protect.
The weight question has not yet been
settled, but there is little doubt that
this will be easily arranged, as both
lads are anxious for the scrap and feel
confident that they can best the other
fellow
Pete has a set of scales at the boat
house, and his lad will be weighed at
ter each afternoon s workout for the
benefit of the fans. Reilly states that
he can make any weight in his class
very easily here, as he finds that he
perspires very much more readily than
when working on the Coast.
There was quite crowd of interested
spectators at the workout yesterday,
and those who witnessed it expressed
their opinions that Reilly will turn into
classy fighter if ne learns how to I'M
cover the punch and lead more direct
" with his left. McFadden is known
as borer and great infghter, and
Reilly will have to learn how to jab
straight with his left if he is to land

No football team from the United
States has ever visited the old eoun-
try and the time is right for such a
visit. A clever Rugby team can go
over there, make money and do things
TO the county and international teams.
Why not have that team go from the
Hawaiian Islands? Think this over,
some of You sportsmen, and see what
it would mean. The Islands would be

Look to the Coast for confirmation
Last Autumn in Los Angeles, team of
crack athletes was got together to play
Stanford University. They had just
one week in which to learn the game.
Seven of the players had played before,
the other eight knew nothing of it..
Stanford knew the game well and the
team was in excellent condition and

When the time for the game to start
arrived the Stanford team marched on
to the field, dressed alike in their coll

The Castaways struggled on and look
ed like a rabble. There were all kinds
Of suits from baseball trousers and
running shirts to sawed-of knee pants
and multi-colored sweaters. It seemed
as though the game was going to be
a big laugh but the laugh was very
nearly the other way. Each of those
Castaways was an athlete. They had
all played some game in the open air
and were past masters in their own
line When the whistle blew the Cast
Always started off with a tremendous
rush They had no team work and
passed the ball wildly but were so
quick that the Stanford boys could

gins, the famous Australian fnterna-
tional took the ball, lodged round the
other backs and scored first for the
Castaways Stanford scored three
times after that and kicked every goal
but towards the end of the game the
rabble team found itself and twice in
ten minutes dribbled the ball over the
Stanford line. At the finish of the
game the collegians were all to pieces
and the Los Angeles men just finding
that they could play together. The

is needed is couple of months of hard
