PROVEMENT
Wren'S Sail Sets Much Better
With Addition of Three
Oak Strips.

The invitation which appeared In
the morning and afternoon papers yes
terday, for those who wanted to see
how a wren sails, was promptly ae-
cepted. There was plenty of live bal
last for the short trip which the Gal
Looping Mary made in light breeze on
the harbor yesterday. One kindly en-
thusiast went so far as to come round
with his auto and fetch the skipper.
crew and sail down to the boathouse. )
The sail had been left in care of
the sailmaker and the battens were al
ready fitted to the strips when the sail
was called for. Whoever attended to
the work did very neat job, and when
the canvas was bent on and hoisted,
the difference in the set of the sail
was very noticeable.
Having been set for some weeks,
without hauling out on the spars, the
sail was given an extra tug when be
ing bent. Then the huff was made fast
to the mast rings and the big wind
catcher hoisted, It looked good from
the very first.
But the proof of the improvement
came when the little craft left the
feat, with several hundred pounds OF
live ballast aboard, and began to feel
the puffs that were coming down
across the wharves.
No More Bagginess.
Instead of the bag in the canvas by
the after leach, the three little batten:

Cheeky at Left End.
Our Cheeky will he another power
of strength in the college aggregation.
Sturdy, strong, even-tempered and with
a nut that never gets unscrewed, the
husky Chinese student is always TO the
fore in a football game. He will re.
sumo his old position of left end and
it will be clever and powerful man
that ever gets past those sturdy arms
of Cheeky.
At right end, as far away as possible
from Che Bui, will be Meinecke, from
the Normal School. Here is another
clever and heady player who knows
how to tackle and how to take signals.
On forward passes he is a crank and
has it down to such a fine point that
he can get the ball, no matter how
fooled the pass may he.
Farmer Clark Captain.
Farmer Clark will captain the college
team at fullback. He is there with a
prodigious punt and can clear to safety
at any old time. Dexter Fraser and
De Bretteville, both stars of the Pu.
nahou lineup of last year, will be with
the college and it looks altogether as
though the vegetable raisers and bugol-
ogists, or whatever it is they learn at
the college, would have a strikingly
strong team.
Nelson Can Reach.
As for the High School, they had a
practise game with the Marines yester-
day afternoon. Henry Chillingworth
was playing quarter and he became dis
tinctly peeved when George Nelson
reached over and grasped him by the
back of the neck after every signal.
This did not prevent Henry from play
ing up to snuff, however, and the rest
of the team made a wonderful show.

Kuwamoto will be at fullback for the
High team on Saturday. He viii be the
only japanese player on the field, but
he is there with various assortments
of the long boot and can clear as quick
ly as a day mosquito can bite through
your collar.
Abe Norton took a sprain to himself
yesterday This is very unfortunate.
Abe is one of the headiest of the Nc
Kinley players and he will have an
awful time standing on the side-lines
and keeping out of the game. But if
anybody can make Abe smile it will
be all right. Then he will forget it.

School.
Place: Alexander Field.
Time: $3.50 p. m. Saturday.
At a meeting of the interscholastic
board of sports held last night, it was
decided to play all the school football
games at Alexander field. A charge Of
twenty-five cents will be made and all
those who attend the game are re-
quested to enter by the main gate
which is where the Manoa car stops,
half way up the hill. Everybody who
pays for admission will be provided
with souvenir tag, that shows they
have paid. By making point of en-
tering the grounds at this point, spec
tators will save the management much
trouble
Another thing in which the specta-
tors can show their craftsmanship is in
keeping back of the line. Roofing
squads and their leaders are appealed
to on this subject. 1t is just as easy
to make a big yell back from the line
as it is when rampaging onto the field.
Hot Game Predicted.
The game next Saturday is going to
be very hot one. The College of Ha-
wall has famous aggregation of stars
in their lineup and the McKinleyites
will have to be there with the goods
if they are to make any kind of a
showing
Everybody who watched the High
School play any kind of game last sea-
son, remembers that big, handsome fell
low Kuhns. He is a giant for strength
and has a smile that would melt the
heart of sphinx. In track, in baseball
and in football, he was a star for the
McKinleyites and was liked as much
for the character and warmth of his
heart, as for his proves. He has grad
uated and will be with the college line
up at right tackle.
But he will not be the only Kuhns
to show up. His big brother will also
be on the gridiron and will take the
other tackle position. Here is a hard
combination to beat and Sam Saffery,
Laeha & Co. will be up against diddings
of some variety. But they will find the
most good-natured couple to buck. It
has been said that the Kuhns could
tackle a man and floor him with a
manner that would make him think that

LONDON, July H-Further details are

the modern Arab population as III kasr' or

of the Euphrates, has been found the
palace Of NebuchadnezSar.
