ALL -FOUR TEAMS
LOOK VERY GOOD
Soccer Season viii Open Tomor-
row Afternoon at League
Grounds.

Inc soccer SedSUn Will start I0mOr-
row afternoon at the league grounds
The first game, Males vs.. Honolulu
Iron Works. will start at two O'Clock
sharp. and the second game. Punahou
vs.. High School, at a quarter past
three.
There is every appearance that the
Males will have no cinch this year.
Both the Puns and Highs have excel
lent teams, and the iron workers. while
more or less of an unknown quantity,
seem to have an equal chance with
any of them.
The headstocks have some good old
timers with them. There is John
Macaulay, the John Macaulay, not the
other John Macaulay who plays for
the Puns; McDougal, Wyllie and one
or two others who used to play for the
Males
With this groundwork of old play
ers. the template kids have a good
superstructure of new and lively
youngsters. They have been practis-
ing hard and have one great advan-
tage, in that nearly every member of
their team is working with his mus
cles all day long, and so keeps in ex-
celIent condition. Everybody hopes to
see the good rivet-tops make it hard
for the mere Males.
Males Very Strong.
But the Males are there with an
even stronger team than they had last
year Bob Anderson will fill the goal
for them. This veteran Scottish play
er is there with the clever head and
hands at all stages of the game. and
it will be a nifty team indeed that
shoots past him.
For fullbacks they will have the old
reliable McGill and probably Mullen,
the young Irish traveller who is stay
ing here will take the other fullback
position. Mr. Mullen has been out for
practise and showed decidedly good
form, lacking only in wind. But this
last is easily improved with a little
training.
In the forward line the Males
should be very strong. They have the
two Baileys, Fred and Harry, and they
may play together on left wing. For
center they have new man, Nc
Nichol, who is said to be very fast,
and Carl Oss, the old reliable center
er, will be at outside right.
Puns Also There.
The Puns also look pretty strong.
Patey, he who made such great saves
last year, will be in goal for them.
Another man who may be looked for
to do good work is Gray. He played
a famous game against the Bedford,
and erred only on the side of being
too energetic. When he slips into his
place and stays there, Mr.. Gray will
certainly be one of the star Honolulu
backs.
Broderick, from Aliiolani college will
also be out for the Puns. He has al
ways played a steady and conscientious,
sometimes very brillian game and will
be great addition to the team The
Puns have crackerjack half back line.
Macconel, Jameson and Farmer Clark.
All three are heady and steady players
and feed their forwards as well as they
protect their backs. This should be
great asset to the Punahou team.
For their forward line the Puns will
have J. B. Walker, newcomer last
year who made great impression by
his speedy forward work; Jock Cation,
always speedy and reliable; Sinclair,
Sing Chong and the other Macaulay.
High Has Youngsters.
The High School should make as good
a showing as any of them. They have
the younger and faster players with
them as well as some older heads to
direct matters. Henry Chillingworth,
the most accurate back perhaps ever
seen here, his brother Bob in goal, who
made almost as good an impression on
the spectators as Scholey, the famous
Bedford goal-keeper, Dwight, Bill Rice
and many others.
They are all training faithfully and
practising hard and great exhibition
of that foot-billiards game is certain
to be the result.
