laid plans for the coming football cam
Hpaign.
Representatives from all the clubs
that figured in the league last year
were on hand last night. the meeting
taking place in the rooms of the Scot.
sish Thistle Club. in the Young Hotel.
Up to the time of the meeting there
was some doubt as to whether the
Males would have an eleven In the
field this year, but reassuring state
ments were made last night, and al.
though 1t may be hard work to raise
"a team, the males will be there with
some sort of an organization when
the whistle blows.
There Is talk of still another team
entering the race, ]. II. Ffdes. being
the promoter OF the idea. When first
suggested this was to be an All-Scotch
team, but it is unlikely that Fides will
be able to find enough unattached
Scots Ito fill all the positions. Moth.
ing definite was decided, and the mat
ter was,left open until November 5,
when the league will hold another
meeting to fix the schedule.
AS it stands now, the teams that
are certain to figure are the five that
made up the league last season High
Schools, Kams. Punahous. Healanis
and Males.
The following officers we're elected
for the coming year:
President, ]. F. Soper; vice presi-
dent, e. B. Blanchard; secretary, H.
