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

Numerous injuries have been snS'
tanned by members OF the Punahou
academy football squad since their
game with the College OF Hawaii last
Saturday to cast a gloom over the
outlook for their first game to be
played for the interscholastic cham
pionship with their old rivals, the
Mckinley high school, on Saturday az
ternoon on Alexander field.
In a fierce scrimmage on Tuesday
afternoon Peterson hurt his thlgh
while learning to take out" the end
while Alexander at tackle was badly
bumped. Neither of the men were out
for practise yesterday afternoon and
il is very possible that they Will be
unable To play on Saturday.
Coach Midkiff was rather pessimls'
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 a genera!
state of debility.
The Mckinley team is going better
now than it has at any time during
the season. Since the kamehameha
game last Saturday, they have been
much more on the jump than they
were before. The prospects are that
several more good. players VIII rein
force the team in the game Win Fu'
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 ground-gainer
when he receives the ball.
Heminger, who was ont of the game
last week.. will again officiate 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 a substitute. Kondo is the second
string man who will be ready to NIL
the shoes of Heminger, should he
again fail to, play.
At Tackle
At tackle will be found Jacobson.
At the other Mackle 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 pCnts 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, a 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 at Moiiiill
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 day or two
ahead of time.
The game will be started by Capt
Britton at $3.50, and his assistants will
be jackson, umpire, and Sgt. thinner
man, head linesman.
Punahou has been working very hard
during the FIRST days Of this week to
overcome some OF the errors of last
Saturdays game.
In the first place it mas been ncces-
sary to inject very forcibly a irt of
old time Punahou pep" into tho
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
a considerably slower team, it is prob.
able that the eleven will show more OF
