that a player with this fault cannot

Tennis IS NEXT
ON PUNAHOU
PROGRAM
Oahu College viii Fill in Big
Court Event While the Other
Schools of the InterschoIast;c
League Are Playing, Soccer

School work has again begun at
OAhu College, and the holidays are
now only remembrance instead OF
a reality but along with the studies
has come an exceedingly attractive
athletic schedule, and one which the
PuhahoU students lOok forward .
with great pleasure and anticipation.
The first thing on the program at
Punahou this term is a tennis touMa-
ment which is TO commence some
time this weeR, Great preparations
have been made flor the court meet
and it Is expected to DE quite an
affair. .4ese5s- =
A call for entries has Deen posted
and the list IS rapidly increasing,
The tournament is open only to the
boys, but the girls are to have meet
later on. The; contests are for the
purpose, of deciding the champions
for both singles and doubles and
y many sharp fights are expected, as
Punahou can boast of number Of
good players. The tournament will
last for two weeks, and possibly
longer.
The tournament really has two pur-
poses: to decide the champions and
give the students something to do I'M
til the interseholastic schedule be-
gins again, which Punahou is now
ont of. Punahou does not put out a
soccer team, but the other schools in
the league--McKinley, Kamehameha
and st. Louis--do, and at present they
are in the midst OF practice and other
work, and Punahou would be idle
as far as athletics are concerned I'M
less she took up something of her
own. .. t. -....
The tennis tournament is certainly
happy way out. of the predicament
which faces those in charge of the
athletics, for IL is, one of the best
in which nearly every student can
compete. Az ~ - - -
Track Follows
About the time the tennis is over,
all the schools will be, ready to be-
gin work upon the track, which is
the big feature of the term. The other
schools will have practically com
pleted their soccer schedule, and SO
they can all begin work at once. The
cross-country run comes off before
the main meet, and # is a prelimi-
nary to It Last year all honors. in
thek cross-countfy went to Kameha-
pe1a, but this year the other schools
are going in hard, and Kan will
have to look to her laurels. Punahou
has some good cross-country material.
and she intends to use it to the
best advantage and put one over on
kamehameha If possible. The
other schools fully share the desire
and altogether the cross-country looks
as though 1t viii be a bigger affair
this year than usual.
Besides the tennis, cross-country
and track, the schools in the league
are trying to work in a swimming
meet this term. Nothing has been
definitely decided but it is very prob
able that the scheme will be put
through and II will certainly be a
great thing If 1t is. =

FANS SPECULATE
ON COMING
" BOUT

Interest in the Madison Bauersock
bout, scheduled for next Saturday
night at Schofield Barracks, is stead
lily on the increase, and as the date
for the fourth meeting of the two
middleweights approaches, ring fans
are busy specializing as to the out
come.
Seeing that the men have met
three times before, ut would seem easy
to forecast the exact form that both
would show in the ring, but the fact
Is that the addition of another five
rounds to the contest puts an entirely
different aspect on it. The first fight
between the two men, at the Asah1
theater, ended unsatisfactory in the
second round, when Referee Mike
Patton AWARDED it to Bauersock on a
foul; both the other fights went the
full fifteen rounds the second being
a draw and the third decision for
Madison. In the last two meetings
there has been a vast difference of
opinion as TO the merits of the
referee ruling, and the general cry
has been, IF they'd only had an
other five rounds to go it would have
been settled"
Now out at the army post the men
are going to get that extra five
rounds. The mill has been scheduled
as a 20-rounc affair, and, whether it
goes the limit or is ended by the k. O.
route, it's likely that the much-dis-
puted question of supremacy between

MORAN
BOUT AFARCE

Gunboat. Smith of San Francisco
and Frank Moran of Pittsburg fought
in San Francisco December q in
what was termed before the bout a
white hope elimination contest"
Moran was highly touted, and the
sport scribes figured that the winner
of the fight ought to be given a
chance at the winner of the MeCarty-
Palzer engagement.
F The fight, however. turned out to be
one long, agonizing farce, according
to newspaper accounts. Smith won
on points in the twentieth round. when
he should have knocked his man out
in the first six, so wretched was the
showing of the Pittsburg man
The San Francisco sporting writer's
didn't hesitate to pan the fight as II
evidently deserved to be PANIED. The
following is a portion of the tribute
paid to the men by Spike" Slattery
of the San Francisco Call:
Many a sickening, disgusting ring
exhibition has been pulled on the long
suffering fans of San Francisco since
the Queensbury game took life here,
but the one that Gunboat Smith and
Frank Moran inflicted last evening at
Dreamland figures as the blue ribbon
event for fierceness. Smith won the
decision. although Moran entered the
ring a 10 to 6 faVorite. Had the battle
taken place in the days when the vigi-
lance committee ruled the town, Nor
an would now be taking ride back to
Pittsburg on pole.
Never was there a more disap-
pointed crowd gathered in any hall in
this city. Never were there more
boots, misses and catcalls from gallery
and main floor. Half the spectators
walked out after the fifteenth round.
The others fingered just to have the
satisfaction of roasting the two big
burly stiffs.
"As an elimination contest it was 4
pronounced success. Both men are
now eliminated from the ranks of the
white hopes. For the good of the
game it is to be sincerely hoped that
no California promoter will even men
ton their names in the presence of
respectable patrons of the boxing
game. Let US try to forget that they
were ever permitted to enter our fair
city
1T is practically impossible to de-
scribe the clownlike tactics of Moran.
And Smith did not have much on his
opponent, at that. Although he won
in every round, still he displayed that
Oid-time fear and timidity. He should
have knocked out that poor, unfortu-
nate, helpless being from the Smoky
City in half a dozen rounds, but, much
to the disgust of the multitude, he al
lowed him to go the whole route. The
rounds became worse as they were
licked off. Smith appeared to be
afraid, and the other fellow did not
know any better"
