PUNAHOU Team
SUFFERING FROM
LATE INJURIES
Mckinley, However, viii Have
in Game Saturday Men Not
in First Contest

Numerous injuries have been sus
tanned by members of the Punaho'
academy football squad since thell
game with the College of Hawaii las
Saturday to cast gloom over INT
outlook for their first game to bt
played for the interscholastic cham
pionship with their old rivals, th'
Mckinley high school, on Saturday at
ternoon on Alexander field. -.-:
In a fierce scrimmage on Tuesday
afternoon Peterson hurt his thigh
while learning TO take out" the enc
while Alexander at tackle was badly
bumped. Neither of the men were oul
for practise yesterday afternoon anc
it is very possible that they viii be
unable to play on Saturday.
Coach Midkiff was rather pessimis
tic on the manner in which the team
appeared yesterday afternoon. Sew
eral men who had been hurt In
the scrimmage of the day before were
unable to be out at all and those who
did practise appeared in, general
state of debility.
The Mckinley team is going better
now than II has at any time during
the season. Since the Kamehameha
game last Saturday, they have been
much more on the jump than they
we're before. The prospects are that
several more good players will rein.
force the team in the game with Pu'
nahou next Saturday.
Tsukiyama, who was missed In the
conflict with Kan, has almost fully
recovered and will be seen at right
half. The team relies on his end
running to a great extent for its yard,
age, for he is sure a ground-galner
when he receives the ball.
Heminger, who was out of the game
last week, will again offlciate at end.
At the other end Akana, who also
can run the team at quarter, will
try to stop the Punahou drive. II he
fails. Sato will be ready to run in
as substitute. Kondo is the second
string man who will be ready to fill
the shoes of Heminger should he
again fail to play.
At Tackle
At tackle will be found Jacobson.
At the other tackle position is Nc.
Taggart or Gehring, either of whom is
first team material.
The central position Of the Makiki
line is ably filed by Ching. His pass
ing for pInts and forward passes have
been one of the most consistent points
of the Mckinley team.
Among the candidates for quarter
Capt. Thompson is the mainstay OF
the team. Should he be lost, how.
ever, two nightly good men stand
on the sidelines ready for the emer.
gency. These are Chang, slightly
built second year man, and Chun, who
has been running the second team
since Akana was drafted for the end
position on the first squad.
Chun looks like the logical success
sor for Thompson next year, and on
this basis Whitcomb is endeavoring
to build up the 1918 squad. using
such men as the sub-quarter daily on
the second team.
The Game az Moiliili
The game Saturday with Punahou
will. be played on Alexander field in.
stead of Moiliili, as was first the in.
tention. This is due to the fact that
the baseball game will require the
field to be prepared q day or two
ahead Of time.
The game will be started by Capt
Brftton at $3.50, and his assistants will
be Jackson, umpire, and Sgt. thinner.
man, head linesman.
: Punahou has been working very hard
during the f1rst days of this week to
overcome some Of the errors of last
Saturdays game.
In the first place IL mas been ncces-
sary to inject very forcibly ict of
old time Punahou pep" into the
Squad. II any man fails to get into
the game this coming Saturday, it
will be from no fault of easy coach
ing. The line has been charging,
the ends have been learning to drive
in, and the backs are trying to get
together for Mckinley Saturday.
Baldwin Shifted
The lineup will be changed from
that of last Saturday. The inter-
scholastic league ruling prevents the
use Of Kauhane and Decker, who have
been attending high school four years.
Sleepy" Baldwin has been shifted to
the back field. He is running at
right half and Henry Pogue has been
set over to left half. Mortimer LYd-
gate has been moved to left tackle
and Lydgate's old place at left guard
is being filled by Kee Fook Zane.
Whereas this shift pulls men out
of their logical positions and makes
considerably slower team, it is prob
able that the eleyen-will show more of
