CANADIAN RUGBY
IS A CRUDE GAME

An American football enthusiast,
who during the past fall has been liv-
ing in ottawa, and has eagerly fol-
lowed the Canadian football games,
does not believe the game compares
with the gridiron game as played
among the colleges here. He says
the Canadians have nothing to teach
Americans about football, and thinks
the game across the border is crude
and amateurish. re also states thai,
the accidents are frequent and some
Cf them are quite s, Tious.
Daring the aftermath of the foot
ball season in Anne lea, so much has
ucen said in criticism of the game as
aged in the states. and so much in
praise of the Canadian football, as a
fit substitute for the game in America,
that a criticism Of me Canadian game
seems fitting. The writer has spen,

of team play or concerted effort of any
sort. Each player relies on his own
judgment entirely, running around and
helping wherever occasion demands
it. This is what we hear of as the
brilliant and open playing with which
the Canadian game is replete." Bril-
liant and open it certainly is, for
there are some splendid athletes play

question of harbor and channel lights.
Since the United States took hold of
the lighthouses of the Islands, many
improvements have been made. The
channel is lighted up every night and
looks like broad white way down
which no vessel should have any diff
ficulty in travelling. Red lights are on
one side and white lights on the other.
Just at the harbor end of the channel
is a lighthouse, to be replaced very
shortly by a newer and larger one,
as modern as they are now turned out
by the government. Across the har-
Dor ON an elevated position is green
rearrange light by which mariners
get their bearings for maneuvering in
side the harbor proper. In the near
future, if the lighthouse authorities
recommendations are carried out, the
rear-range light may be eliminated,
and two oscillating lights placed at the
entrance to the channel. After pass
ing Diamond Head light, a mariner
would have in view the Barber s Point
light and could easily pick out the
Honolulu light. But with the oscil-
lating lights at the entrance he would
bear down upon these and come to his
proper anchorage, or if he wished to

A Funny Incident.
When the British cruiser Cambriau
was Juggling hard at the steel hawsel
of the Logan yesterday morning in a
vain effort to drag the troopship back
to deep water, spectators ashore or on
other ships were attracted by couple
of lusty young Hawaiians who had
waded out from Summers Island to

An Army officer now proposes that
the channel lights be continued around
the harbor also. That is, the lights
which appear. on the Eva side of the
channel should be continued the same
color around the seward side of the

the Waikiki side of the channel should
be continued on around the Waikiki

recommendation may shortly be for
warded to the War Department.
