That football Games will be PLAYED
at Moihili park following the close. Of
the baseball series in the middle OF
this month is the late announcement
of William Miles, manager OF the park,
For long tine the matter was con
, Sidered and now the way seems clear
for them to arrange the field for this
sport
The Mckinley high school and the
town team, in the intCrsCholastic ser.
les, will make this their home field &C.
cording to Mr. Miles, and consequently
several games between high school
teams will be played there instead OF
on Alexander or KamChameha fields.
At present the town team and Nc.
kinley are practising on Makiki field,
but since il does not possess the pro-
per facilities it cannot be used for
games. The result is that these two
teams virtually have no home ground,
and are forced to play on the home
ground OF their opponents, giviRg
them this advantage in all games.
! May Have Other Teams.
Although prospects tor tho Orgariza-
| ton of a series Of football games
among teams composed of men OF the
! city are not bright at present. there
will undoubtedly be one local eleven
! to play the soldier teams which are
HOW being put into shape. Many Of
/ tie men who played football IN the big
games last year are now at Schofield
in the reserve Officers training camp
A rookie team may be organized II
! time allows. II not, members of tho
camp will be used on other teams. As
yet no national guard team has been
| formed, the chief reason being the un-
! certainty surrounding the future
movements of the guard There is
ample material in the guard for a good
team, and practise can be arranged
so that it does not interfere with drill.
There has been talk of organizing
another town team to be composed OF
! cid stars like Tnman, Schuman, Coney,
Moore and Machado, but ii has not ma
| terialized as yet.
The 32nd Infantry began practise
last week and other company teams
are working for the coming season.
Soldier teams will play among them
selves if no town teams can be found
to meet them.

NEW WATER EQUIPMENT

Two horses are among the new
pieces of swimming equipment which

Still another raft will later be placed

Besides the diving pier there are
now two RATS at Waikiki. The one
farthest out has a spring board and
the latest to be put in has a diving
stand and a trapeze, until it was
sawed off after the first day. The
third raft is being built.
The horses are no more than two
heavy barrels appropriately painted
and weighted down with lead in or

will always remain upright. The
trick is to try to ride them and up to
date David Kahanamoku, the Out,

to stay on them any length of time

mckinley TEAM
? HARD HIT BY
LATE INJURIES
Black and Gold GriddiStS Are
Plugging Hard for First
Game on Saturday

Mckinley seems to be UP against
an early season hoOdoo this year.
In the College OF Hawaii practise
game last week, Ctomatsu Tsuki-
yama. the speedy little ground-gaineT
from the backIield, was taken out
with twisted knee. Wickander
cracked his collar bone in practise
scrimmage the day following, and
a. Coach Whitcomb has had to make a
Shift in the lineup to fill his place.
Ii is hard to tell just when Tsuki-
wanna will get into the game again,
but with proper care his injury should
not keep him out for more than 10
DAYS. The other casualty, of, course,
is serious, and will mean the end OF
football for this year so far as Wick
, ander9is concerned. He was d conner,
and his loss will be felt in the Nc
Kinley line.
Other men are working hard and
seem TO be going much faster than at
the opening of the practise season.
They showed a good firm line in the
first conflict with the College of Ha-
wall, which augUrs we'll for the Kan
game on Saturday. Kan always has
a heavy line and if the Makikt boys
can hold against it, half of the bat
tie is won.
a But the backfield is problem, for
WITH "Tsuky" gone. and a fullback
position still vacant, the team is not
much of a ground-gaining machine.
Nua has been. tried at full, and may
start In the Kan game.
Chang and Akana Ready
In the event of Thompson being
laid out, Peter Chang and Walter
Akana are ready to step into his
place. They are running neck and
neck for his job, neither man having
a shade the better of it, Akana has
overcome a lack of snap in calling
the signals, and it looks like even
money as to which will be called into
the play should Thompson be forced
to retire. But there is little posi-
bility of this happening with such an
experienced man receiving the ball as
Thompson.
Tokioka is continuing to show the
class in getting away with the ball
that he displayed in the first days OF
practise. He will make fine running
mate for Tsukiyama by the end OF
the season, but is at present on the
second. string learning the fine points
Of The game. 49,.
Another man worth watching in the
game with the College of Hawaii will
be Chiffon Jones. Although a young.
ster he is going fast, and with q little
more football feel" trained into his
hands and feet will become the nat
ural player that he promises to be
) He gets away with the ball we'll
enough, and the only thing he lacks is
a little drilling. .@ ~.
Whitcomb is thorough, and giving
the boys all they want of steady grind,
in order to perfect them in the impor-
tant plays. In another week he will
be ready for the opening game OF the
season with Kamehameha. II is to
be granted that Kamehameha has the
ekgantage in heavy and experienced
men, and the Mckinley gridders will
have to fight like Indians to hold up
their end anywhere near evenly.
