YALE STILL UNDECIDED
ON VITAL QUESTION OF
INTERCOLLEGIATE PLAY

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. AL.
though it may be a couple of weeks
before Yale decides whether to hold
this fall, two large squads of athletes
have already begun training. Since
the fall term OF the university began
a large number Of freshman football
and rowing aspirants have been put Ia
work. The gridiron men are under the
general direction of Tad Jones, the
head football coach, and of DR.. Arthur
Brides, his line coach, and the oarsmen
under the direction Of Professor Matt
er Abbott, who has been assistant
crew coach for two seasons.
The views and wishes of the new
military instructor, Captain Winfield
Overton, will be regarded as strict law
by the athletic board of control of the
university, and he stated upon his ar
rival that much rowing was not desir-
able because it occupied too much
time. Football he regarded more fav-
orably because the gridiron season
lasted only few weeks. He has pro
posed tentatively, that the military
drill Of the undergraduates be given on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays,
and that the afternoons of Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday be allotted for
athletics for the present. He also as
serted that all athletic activity should
be regarded as under the strict control
Of the military work and conditions,
and that, If any athletic contests are
arranged, they should be ready for in.

SUNDAY MAY BE FINAL
GO IN SECOND SERIES

The final scheduled game of the
second series of the Pacific League
will be staged on Sunday afternoon at
1880 o'clock at Moiliili Field between
the St Louis team and the Braves.
The battle will be crucial one in all
respects. II the Braves come through
with a victory the honors will go 10
them, but should they tumble the
crown and the Saints triumph it VIII
mean a short series between the
Braves, Hawaii and Filipinos for the
second series title. Should the
Braves win the second series theyTwill
play the Saints, winners of the first
series, for the championship of the
islands. s..
The Saints are not quite as strong
now as they were during the first Sc
ries and the betting appears to favor
the Braves, who are playing high
grade Of ball. A large crowd of
rooters for both sides should be on
hand to witness the mix Sunday.

THE big grid battle of the season
so far will be staged by Punahou
and kamehameha next Saturday.
These two old.time rivals will clash
on the Kan field at $50 p. IN.
All football fans are anxiOusly
awaiting this contest for 1t is the
last game of the first half of the In
terschelastic League series. Punahou
has tied the College OF Hawaii and
beaten Mckinley; Kan has beaten Nc
kinley and just barely lost by one
point-a missed easy goal-to College
of Hawaii. According to all dope Kan
has great team. Those who have
watched them play, say that Kam's
line is a wonder this year. From the
progress made by both teams il looks
as If they were very good for so early
in the season. and very evenly
matched.
Big Crowd
The game is sure to draw big
crowds. Kan has been steadily i'm
proving this season, and like Puma.
hou, Kan had a bunch of old-timers
to use on its squad-10 old men back
and big bunch Of last years second
team stuff.
Punahou put up better quality OF
play last Saturday than when they
played College of Hawaii. In the
game with the college the Punahou
men were overconfident, slow, and had
no fight or drive. But week later
the Buff and Blue showed that it could
play football If sufficiently shamed
into it.

HOW MISTLETOE CAME
TO MEAN KISSING

We decorate our homes with sprays
of mistletoe at Christmas time, but
few of us know the history of it as a
Yuletide symbol Pretty girls are
kissed under it and a great deal of
fun and nonsense are carried on
apropos of it, but no one stops to
think of how ancient decoration it
is or how sacred it was once thought
to be. The ancient Celts in their
Druidical religion had two great fes-
tivals, one in June and the other in
December, the latter being equiva-
lent to our Christmas. In both these
great festivals the gathering of the
mistletoe was a sacred rite.
The Druids believed that a potion
prepared from mistletoe would in
crease their flocks and that the plant
was remedy against all poison. 1t
was believed to be a curative for
many ills, and this belief is still to be
found in many remote places in Eu-
rope. In Lacaune, France, for ex-
ample, it is always administered by
the native dwellers as an antidote
for poison.
In the northeast of Scotland people
used to cut withes of mistletoe at the
March full moon; these they bent in
circles and kept for year to cure
hectic fevers and other troubles. In
Sweden on midsummer eve mistletoe
is diligently sought after, the people
believing it to be possessed of many
mystic qualities, and that if a sprig
of it is attached to the ceiling of the
dwelling house, the horses stall or
the cows crib, the trolls will then be
powerless to injure either man
or beast.
