FOOTBALL IS
GOING STRONG
Town Team Already Practising
Fifth Cavalry Wanted in
League.

The football season is on US. Look
out. Hold tight and sit fast. It is
going to be the most enthusiastic foot
er season ever seen here. All signs
point that way and there is no elf
anybody cannot read ask the black
smith" about it. No, sir. Not by a
long shot.
In the first place the Marines are
out for blood. They make no bones
about it. They have grand bunch
of heavyweights and some sprinters
that win do deadly work when it
comes to the latest Interpretation of
the forward pass. They are out for
practise nearly every day and they
have coach who has studied out the
practical and theoretical side of the
latest tactics on paper and on the
field.
Meanwhile the town boys have been
getting together. Quietly, it is true,
but none the less efficaciously (and
that is a good word). Stunning pub
licity until the eagle eye of passing
reporter got wise to the fact, they
have been out three times a week for
practise.
But the best of the whole biznai is
that it is the well-known pigskin
artists who are getting out. There will
be no slackness in turning out for
practise among the bunch. The reason
is that town footer has been dead for
so long a time that the kamaainas are
Just about crazy to get back in armor
again.
No names are to be mentioned at

The game can see Eddie Fernandez
about it and they will find themselves
in no mean company when they show
ND on the field The word was given
yesterday to let 'er go and everybody
who likes to play the grand old game
had better get in early and turn out
for work
Fifth Cavalry Wanted.
Fort Shafter will have a team and
it is earnestly hoped that the good
White Knights will come in. There IS
a grand bunch of material up where the
pineapples grow at Leilehua and the
four-leggers can certainly put out a
team that can make it hard for any
body.
With four live teams in the league
there should be great season. Foot
ball is the one game that appeals to
everybody. 1t is always worth watch
ing no matter what its brand. Inter
INV nf
kind is always full of interest. But,
oh, you great American game.
Gridiron Fixed UP.
The Athletic Park has made arrange
ments to fix up craekerjack grldlron
for the new league. All that is left to
be done now is for the teams to get
together and hold meeting. They
can then arrange all details, elect of
ficers and a manager and get right to
work The nominal charge at the gates
should bring in plenty to pay all eN-
penses.
Football is an even more expensive
game than baseball. A baseball suit
and bat NAV be obtained for a few
dollars, but a gridiron warriors suit
of armor, the footballs, marking of the
ground ana 0tner expenses dhouHC "
a whole lot more With live league
organized and a fine cup put up for the
winner, the patronage of the public
Will easily be enough to cover all ex-
penses and leave something over in the
league funds for next season.
Everybody who is interested in the
revival of this grand game is request
ed to communicat with Eddie Fernan-
DEE. His telephone number is 1892.
