Soccer Football
Starts Saturday

GROUNDS the soccer seasOn VIII std''
up in earnest, and two fine games
will be played. The first match will
be the Punahous up against the
High School.
There Is SO little sport going on
now "A days that the fans all feel
lost on Saturday afternoons and
Sundays. The baseball Is pau for. a
while unless the much talked Of
series between the st. Louis and J..
A. C.s takes place.
There Is nothing doing In polo.
tennis. cricket, or anything else ex-
cept the walking race on Sunday,
and the soccer games on Saturday.
Consequently there should be- a
good sized crowd out at the league
grounds to see the start OF the sea-
son and two promising games into
the bargain.
According to all accounts ana
doing on the practice field, all four
teams are In the hest OF condition.
and II Is hard to predict which will
win out in othe series.
The Males generally turn out q
good team. and they will not be
backward in that respect this sea-
son. The Honolulu Iron Works team
Is not well known. but one or two OF
their men are as good as there are
in this city.
The younger players, as represent
ed by the High School, can be de-
pended on to play good soccer. and
their initial game against the Puns
with be watched with interest. The
Punahous number several young
sters In their ranks. and they. like
the High School boys. should put a
lot of vim and go into the games.
II is hoped that soccer. which Is
fine game when properly played.
will catch on here. and that the
coming series will be marked by
good exhibitions of the science Of
playing football without any hand
work.
There does not seem to be any
chance Of Rugby catching on here
, among the grown-up fellows, and
the only hope for the game il to In
terest the schoolboys. In the PROPOSE
ton. within the next few months
q Rugby football team Is going to
California from Australia, and
Mother" Howe. who coached the
University OF California last season.
will probably be In charge OF the
Kangaroos. What a pity we won't
have team to have a game with
them. as our men could learn 70
much about the game from the An
tipodeans. =
Regular international football
matches are sure to be played be-
tween the Australians and Ameri-
cans. and the sooner the better, for
Il Is through sport that the two
great countries begin to know one
smother well. and lot OF misunder-
standings will be cleared up.
