TsuHyama's knee was again dam
aged. and he Is also kept out OF pra
elise by his duties as sergeant in the
company which is guarding the Nuua
nu water supply.
Shake-up
With the loss of these men comes
a complete shake.up in the line. A
second string center will have to re-
place Ching, and another end will step
into Akana's shoes until his ankle has
fnended. Akana was also the second
best bet for quarterback that Dick
whitcomb had to boast, and he must
rely upon Chun TO run the team in
the next game If Capt. Thompson is
put out Of action.
The rest of the squad looks tired
and not very poppy after the strenu'
Gus Punahou game, but a light
workout is planned by Whitcomb to
rest the men a bit. Kondo and Hem
niger will take care OF the ends. either
OF them being a good substitute for
Akana. The linesmen are all reliable,
and the fact that the Buff and Blue
went through Il all at will is no proof
Of its weakness. bkt simply OF its in.
ferior weight Jacobson, McTaggart
and Gehring are all good tackles, while
oliviera has played a year longer than
any of them.
Strong Point
The center OF the line was the
strongest point in weight before the
PInahou game, but with the loss OF
Ching II becomes a problem TO rebuild
this portion of the Makiki defense,
Chang will serve for one side. having
played last season, and possibly Nua
will flank the other side at left guard
The boys are putting implicit faith
In Dick Whitcomb to reorganize the
team, and Il is quite likely that the
result will be unexpected to football
fans when they see the team play the
College OF Hawaii. =+..
The way Jones got his punts away
was most encouraging to his coach
Saturday. He had six or eight chances
and registered IS or 40 yards every
time, not having a punt blocked by
the Punahou defense. His left hooi
Is a puzzling factor to the other team
and peculiarly hard to get near fol
one accustomed to right-footed kick
ers. As a freshman Jones did ex
ceptionally we'll, and IL is hoped that
be will continue to learn under Whit's
tutelage.
Fast 6aekfieId
1t Is quite plain that Tsukiyama car
no longer be relied on for a full game
on account OF his old trouble with
the knee, and Sato may have to be
pulled out OF the line and placed al
halfback. With Hall on one side and
Sato on the other Jones will find good
support. Thompson lasting through
the game, this quartet makes fasi
backfield which should be able Il
solve the difficulties OF the college
defense. Whitcomb is not going Il
risk any more men in this game
though, and there will be constantly
shifting lineup against the rah-raf
boys Saturday afternoon. The game
viii be played on the gridiron OF The
college, starting earlier than usual
1850. H. M. Blowers will referee
while Lieut.. Donald Laid. U. S. r.
will hold the umpires whistle. Al
head linesman Sgt. Zimmerman o.
De RussS will officiate. while another
reserve officer will act as field judge
Lieut.. F. p. Rawson. He comes dowI
from the training CAMP at Schofielt
Barracks with Ladd to officiate at the
