haps this "huskinessk is due to the
three seasons of athletics which he
put in while attending school on the
mainland Although he has not tipped
anyone off as to what position he is
going after on the eleven, it is konwn
generally that he is being looked
upon as likely card for the back
field. Some years ago Brown was
initiated into football when he played
on the Punahou second team. ~.
Three years on rugby team
which is something Hike ordinary foot
ball only a little harder to play has
pretty well qualified Marmion Magoon
to try for a place on the Punahou mi
tial eleven. Magoops is another one
of those who is Returning to Punahou
after>nn absence - several years. He
has been attending school on the
mainland. Magoon has announced
his intention Of going out either fol
place in the backfield or an end. He
is husky youngster, with both
weight and speed to his credit.
There is another young fellow
name of Ferguson, who is making his
initial bow at Punaheu this year, and
who has been sized up as likely can
didate for the team. He is the son
of DR.. Wilbert Perry Ferguson, princi
pal of Mills school-but that has moth
ing to do with his football accom-
piishments. Young Ferguson tips
the scales at about 100 pounds, and
has had some former experience on
the gridiron. Il is understood that
he will try for a position on the line.
The all-important position of center
doubtless Is going to be a hard one to
ill this year seeing tina. George Nc
merry has left school and is now at
filiated with the lnterIsland Steam
Navigation Co. Thus far, there is
only one person who appears a likely
candidate, and that is Howard John
son, who played tackle on the second
team last year He weighs 17Q
pounds, or somewhere around there
and they say that his playing last year
was speedy and clean. He also play
ed on the academy's third team dur
ing one season. II is certain that
Johnson will go OUT either FOR the
center or a tackle position. He is
entering the academy this year, hav.
ing graduated In June from the pre-.
paratory school - p
Francis Lyman, another expert.
enced player, is expected will turn
out for the first team when the first
meeting is called. He is looked upon
as a likely candidate for guard.
This new material, with those play.
ers who are still in school, bids fair
to become moulded into fast aggre-
cation and, under the tutelage OF
Coach Midkiff, should attain the high
standard which always has been
reached by Punahou teams which
have come and gone before.
Harry Baldwin, whose spectacular
playing will be remembered by all
those who attended the games In
which Punahou participated last year,
is still in school, but it is doubtful
whether he will be able to play this
season Harry suffered blood poison.
ing in one of his arms this summer.
Gordon Brown. another player whose
heady work was a feature Of last
years games, will join the team and
probably resume his position at full.
back George Quintal, veteran of 10
cal football, is slated for quarterback
on the Punahou first team.
No definite assignments are TO be
made until meeting of the Inter.
scholastic Athletic Association is held,
at which time schedule of games for
the 1914 season will be drawn up.
From now until that time the Puma,
hou men intend to get in a lot of pre-
liminary practice-the new players to
Study the fine points of the game, and
the veterans to brush up on the grid
iron knowledge which doubtless has
become somewhat dull during the
summer vacation. III
