KAMEHAMEHA To
HAVE FAST Team
OUT THIS SEASON

Secret practise has been the order
at Kamehaneha the past few days,
and a number Of cadets have kept
watch that no spies from Punahou,
Mills or Mckinley watched the team
work out. Scrintmage work has been
started and the team is well along in
their formations, and signal practise.
Last week the squad was out for two
hours each evening booting the ball
and going through different forma-
lions. There were three teams out at
one time and all were working hard,
as no man is certain of place on
the squad as yet. -. -. -. r.. ~
When asked as to the prospects for
the season Capt. Booth said: I'VE
expect to make a good showing this
year. We have a number of men out,
and despite the fact that only three
veterans are left we hope to be strong
contenders for the championship. We
will have fast team, not a heavy
ene.". That he will have fast team
under his wing is not denied. They
shifted back and forth last week in
true football fashion, and with further
signal practise should go through the
formations much faster. The ends
look light, but they are fast in getting
started and look like players who
would be able to get to the man on long
punts. Two of the candidates for
end positions will not weigh over 125
pounds. FL
Scrimmage Work.
Coaches Booth and Borden had their
hands full last week looking after the
three squads. Here and there man
started after the play was called, and
they had to try again. The center
failed to pass the ball back for place
kick In the right manner, and that was
remedied. Gradually the edges are
the boys should learn more football.
Coach Booth has uncovered d likely
looking place kicker In Hussey, who
stood back to the 35-yard line on
Thursday and Brickleyed a few over
the posts. If Hussey can duplicate
lis work under fire he should be a
mighty valuable addition to the squad.
There are three men trying out at
present for the quarterback job. and
il the coaches could combine the good
qualities Of each into one, then Ka-
mehameha would have mighty sweet
looking back this season.
Hot Fight For Quarter.
Anahu, De la Nux and Hussey are
trying for the job at quarter, and it
will be a hard fight for the place.
Anahu has the weight to back him up
and some experience; De la Nux has
plenty of pep" and is a good field
general, while Hussey's principal forte
is pl5.,e kicking Only one man Of last
year is back in the backfleld, that be-
ing G. Bertelmann, who has been
working out in the fullback position in
scrimmages.
Weston Dover and Crabbe held
down the end positions Thursday
night on the first squad. and both
looked good from the side lines IN get
ting into the plays around their ends
Dover is one of the fastest men on
the local gridirOn. having won out in
the hurdles and 300 in the last inter
scholastic meet. Crabbe is also q
shlfty runner, and has developed into
a good drop kicker in the early work
outs. Richmond, Hobbs and Palama
are another trio of ends who are out
for places on the first squad.
Kamehameha will have a light back
field this year, if the present candi-
dates are taken IS criterion. The
