- NAL arrangements for the 1871
football series OF the Oahu Foot
y ball league were completed at
meeting at Schofield Barracks last
night. Representatives from the
9TH Cavalry, the Town Team, the

Kamehameha and the Y. II. c. A.
drew up the schedule, completed all
financial arrangements for the games,
approved list Of officials and settled
other matters vital to the success or
the league.
Just as the football in the training
camps in the States will eclipse all
civilian football il looks as though
the Oahu league would surpass any
thing ever seen here in local foot
ball. Old college stars, veteran
teams, experienced coaching and good
playing dates all combine to give the
league a big start.

lulu and Schofield barracks. Two

cause. but will play their games just
the same.

cept in case of tie for second place,

TO the list later. A standard rate OF
pay for officials was agreed on. The
pay OF the umpire was made the
same as that OF the referee. Where
real money is paid for officiating
there has always been a slight differ
ence in Eae compensation Of the ref

league, where receipts do not justify
paying all that the job is worth, it
was felt that difference was unnec-
essary.

men were selected on account OF
their central location. Those present
