OAHU COLLEGE, Oct. 6.-Puna-
| hou and Kan face each other in the
opening game of the 1916 season 10
morrow afternoon at ;. O'Clock on the
Kan field. r.. ~ 49,. H.. i
These long time rivals meet each
other loaded for bear" this year, and
the seasons contest between the two
elevens will be the center of athletic
interest until Thanksgiving. Both
teams are determined. Kan plays
with everything to win and nothing
to lose. while Punahou, with the rec
ord of Is consecutive championships
to her credit, must struggle to the
last ditch to keep her record clean.
Punahou recognizes Kan this year as
very formidable foe. Kan has a
very heavy line and a fast set of
backs; furthermore, nearly all Kam's
players are experienced; but Punahou
does not propose to lose this cham
pionship. Every Punahou man will
give his last ounce tomorrow. and he
will give it so that 1t counts for as
much as he can possibly make it
count. Many of Punahou's men are
green, the whole team is light, and
they will line up comparatively UNI
tried tomorrow, but there will he no
lack of fight and "Punahou spirit" in
them. - -.
Cheer Leaders Out
This is also true of the school body,
for a large delegation bearing the PEN
nants of Buff and Blue will accom-
pany the team and with song and
yells inspire them to victory. The
school has been working hard on
field songs and football yells the past
week, and the enthusiasm is high.
The following will probably be the
lineup tomorrow: Right end. Johnny
Fassoth, new man, but big and
rangy and very hard player; left
tackle. Sleepy" Baldwin, whom Kan
well remembers for his hard playing
in the 1915 season; left guard, Kee
Fook Zane, a brand new man, hard
fighter and reliable man on the de-
Tense: center, Dudley Pratt, probably
the best defensive center in the
league and an accurate passer al
ways; right guard, Mortimer Lydgate,
also untried, but big and husky and
sure to make fine lineman soon;
right tackle, Hermann Alexander,
who showed a iimitIess amount of
stuff in the first game with Kan
last year, and who has made great
Improvement since: right end. Cap
tain Harvey Hitchcock. "Hitchy
will BE there" every minute and ii is
not probable that many runs will
circle him. He is always leading his
team and encouraging them to keep
M Punahou's reputation.
MshIkoa Runs Team
Bob Mahikoa will run the team at
quarter. He is showing up as hard
running back and has the nerve. He
is also learning to use his head in the
selection of plays Kenneth Decker,
captain of the second team, is also
showing up well at quarter.
Noble Kauhane and George Haw-
kins make fine pair of halfbacks.
They both fight hard and are very
hard to get on to the ground Noble
is also place-kicking well again this
year. Fred Peterson, at fullback, is
stronger than ever. His added years
growth and experience have done
much for him and he is proving to
be good open field runner as well
as good man at passing and kick
ing.
Other men who will doubtless get a
chance in this game are: Line, Au-
lay Macaulay, strong guard; Nell
son Robinson, good at either center
or tackle; Charlie Hughes. Willie Ka-
nakanui and Sam Kahai, ends; Jim
my Rothschild.. Donald Hayselden,
Henry Pogue, Ernest Gray; backs,
Kenneth Decker and George Leal.
Donald Brown, last years end, is out
with an injured shoulder. The loss
of William Palknli, on account of
scholastic standing, will also be
serious handicap, for Paikuli is a hard
and experienced linesman.
Kamehameha. Punahou.
