/
| Honolulu ought to have Rugby
football team is the way that Ell. n
! Mckenzie, manager of the Santa
Claras, put it and he has summed up
! the situation to a nicely.
Mr. Mckenzie is an enthusiastic
football player as well as a baseball
expert and he is pleased with the Brit
sish game which is now played on the
Pacific Coast. Santa Clara college
took the game up for the first time
last year and made a good showing
when they played the famous Barba-
| rians of San Francisco. His experience
with the game has led Mr.. Mckenzie
to think that it will retain the footing
lit has already gained and that it win
be played by the larger coast colleges
in the future as it is now.
An Al1-Hawaiian team visiting the
coast would have no lack of matches
and would prove great drawing card.
There are plenty of teams that would
/ be only too glad to make dates with
them and the tour could not help but
have the effect of advertising the
islands in the same way that the trans,
pacific yacht race has done.
Vancouver and Victoria have good
teams, in San Francisco there are
Berkeley and Stanford, Santa Clara,
the Barbarians and the Olympic Club
teams to play; while in Los Angeles
there are the Castaways, University or
Southern California, Pomona College
and a dozen high schools that could
send selected team on the field that
would make it hard for any of the
grownup ifteens.
Rugby is an easy game to learn and
lacks the breaking elements of
the American style of play. Every
man on the field has the chance to dis
tinguish himself by clever team work
and the full is the only man on
the field who has no chance to score if
he be clever enough. The idea of the
game is to get the bali over the other
side s goal line and touch it down. The
method followed in doing this is to
run with the ball until threatened
with tackle when the ball is passed
TO another player on the same side
This results in very open and exciting
plays and calls for very clever individ-
ual playing as well as team work.
There is no lack of good material
to make world beating team from
the islands. Some of the ballplayers
are very speedy and heady men and
would be well adapted TO the back
line while there are nthers whose
strength and stamina would place
them with the forwards.
Mr.. Mckenzie s suggestion may be
taken up and it is expected that some
of the local sportsmen will get to-
gether and see if it is not possible to
send a winning Rugby team to the
coast next season.
