The organization of a town team
consisting Of the cream of former
football players of the islands fell
int the hands of Bill Inman, and fol-
lowing a general survey Of the situa-
ton he picked a group of men which
will be almost unequaled in the num-
Der who are really former stars. They
will begin practising as soon as con-
ditions allow and will pick games
with other local teams and soldier
teams, probably in big series to take
place following the interscholastic
series Or to be run at the same time
so that it will. not interfere with it,.
Inman has played a prominent part
in all branches of local athletics for
long time and promises to continue
to do so. He was once captain of
the Punahou academy football, held
island records for the shot put, and
made tours with the leading bali
teams of the territory. His athletic
ability extends to practically every
branch of sport except golf and polo.

Among the men playing with Puma
hou this year SLEEPY" Baldwin is
rated with those who will figure prom
inently in bringing home the inter
scholastic football championship to
that school. He will play at one tack
lie in the game with the College of
Hawaii on Saturday while Herman
Alexander will play at the other
tackle
Sleepy Baldwin has the distinction
of being the fourth brother Of his
family to bear the unusual nickname
by which he is known. Two of his
older brothers were once prominent
athletes at Punahou academy, and es-
pecially the second, Harry, who was
considered an unusually fast half
back
There has been some talk of putting
Baldwin on the back field this year,
but unless an emergency arises he
will probably be used at tackle where
he serves the team valuably.

PUNAHOU TEAM
IS SUFFERING
REVERSES NOW
Strong lntersChoIaStiC Bunch
Declines; Pratt Injured
in SCrimmage

Punahou is approaching the coming
game with the College of Hawaii with
more apprehension than has been
voiced heretofore.
In the first place the college is
said to have one Of the best, il not
the best team it has ever had. II
the line Is even a medium line. Brash
and Bromley are apt to be very dan
gerous men with the ball
And in the Punahou camp there is
fear that is born OF the assurance
with which the old men began plac-
tise. With seven 20" men in the
game, it seemed as if practise were
rot necessary, or at least that it were
a mere form. The team has not had
its customary stock Of PunahoG Pep
and fight as yet. 1t may be necessary
for the college to take fall out of
these lads in order to wake them up.
Capt. bud" Pratt suffered an injury
last night in scrimmage, when he
broke open a still unhealed wound
which he had received from an OPP
Grafton during the summer This
gives him a very lame hand and it
is doubtful as to whether he will be
able to pass Saturday.
Owing to the very hot weather of
late, the team has become somewhat
stale and subject to injuries. In the
scrimmages of the past two days
bruised shoulders, Charley horses
and strained joints have developed
enormously. But, all in all, the team
should put up a good frst-of-the-sea-
son scrap Saturday.
Punahou's lineup will probably be
as follows: Johnny Fassoth, lie;
SLEEPY" Baldwin, 1t; Mortimer Lyg-
date, lg; Dudley Pratt, c; Nelson Rob-
inson, re-; Herman Alexander, II; Will
Akana, re; Bob Mahikoa. OBJ; Noble
Kauhane, III; Fred Peterson, fb;
Henry Pogne, rh.
Others who are likely 10 get in the
game are Kee Fook Zane, Charlie
Hughes and Donald Hampton, as line
rteR; Everett Hoimes, Newton PECK
and Curtis Turner, as ends, Kenny
Decker and Ernest Gray, as backs

was not played because the Il own

CRETE is HAVEN FOR EXILES
Fugitives From Many Lands in Canea
Where No Extradition Treaties
Are in Force.

Canea is in Crete, and is most
disreputably picturesque and interest
ing place. Crete is a land Of troubled
politics, a strategic point on which
four or five states had had their eyes
for the last decade, and until recently
it was garisoned by the troops Of
five nations. Canea is seaport on the
busiest Mediterranean ruOte, where
no extradition treaties are in force. All
of which is another way of saying that
Canea is a poor place to display roll
of banknotes and then go home alone
by a dark street. There is always po-
litical trouble Of one sort or another
on foot. and there are always numer-
Gus gentlemen of elastic morals from
Europe, Asia and Africa hanging about
the cafes, writes traveller.
They are an interesting crew, these
exiles from three continents. They
range all the way from polished SOL
diers Of fortune who have organized
and led revolutions of their own brew
ing, to ragged Egyptian donkey boys
fleeing from justice for heaven knows
what petty crime. One and all, they
have travelled considerably; they have
the sophisticated polish Of men Of the
world, whether they are in rags or
broadcloth.
Conspicuous is the use Of many
tongues among this doubtful element
of the population; they shift from Ian
guage to language and dialect to dia-
lect without effort and apparently
without thought. A Greek and an AL
gerian may be quarreling in their ma
tive idioms, and the alteration is fol-
lowed with amused Indifference by
Turks, Egyptians, English, French,
Arabs, Italians. A very cosmopolitan
circle, the half-world of Canea.

New York.-Uncle Sans new army
must have the best aviatOrs in the
world. This is the order that has
come from Washington, and the army
schools throughout the country are
striving to carry it out.
There are many obstacles and dis
couragements, fast scout planes are
almost non-existent this side of
the Atlantic, but the standard already
reached means as vast advance.
A trip out to the big government

Scores of students and mecha-

wrench, making tests and seeking the
slightest flaw, for every flying ma
chine must always be in the top notch
of condition.
Pick of the Land There.
War will probably soon change the
conditions here in many ways-indeed,
some differences are already noticeable
from peace days. But most of the stu
dents are still paying their way-and
not small price either. After pass
ing his flying test student must turn
over $500 tuition fee and $500 more
is due on final examination. The stu

FOOD SHORTAGE MENACES THE ALLIES

"More and more serious trials are
coming" says the paper. ''We appeal
to our readers to regard it as a sacred
duty to cut down the consumption of
all commodities to the last ounce and
pennyworth."
A new set of restrictions has become
effective, which requires proprietors
of eating places to keep record of all
meals served. They must not serve
more than a specified amount each
week. The following is the scale of
allowances per meal:
Breakfast-Meat, ounces: sugar,
81 ounces; bread, 2 ounces; flour, 1
ounce.
Luncheon-Meat, ounces; sugar,
2.7 ounces; bread, 2 ounces; flour, 1
ounce.
Dinner-Meat, ounces; sugar, 2.7
ounces; bread, 2 ounces flour 1 ounce.
No meat or flour is allowed in place
of tea or sugar. Tuesday is designated
as meatless day in London, Wednes-
day in the provinces.
Lloyd Georges Appeal.
"We may have to feed our army and
navy, as we'll as ourselves, on home
grown food" said Premier Lloyd
George in letter which was read at
meeting tonight of the Norwich (Nor-
fOlk) Agricultural committee. The let
ter was addressed: "TO all workers on
land" and appealed to them to do their
utmost to help raise all food possible.
"The line which the British empire
holds against the Germans" the letter
continues, "is held at home as we'll as
abroad. If it breaks at any point, it
breaks everywhere. In the face of the
enemy the seamen of our royal naval
and mercantile marine and the SOL
diers gathered from every part of our
empire hold our line firstly. You
workers on land must hold your part
of our line as strongly.
"Every full days labor you do helps
to shorten the struggle and bring us
nearer victory. Every idle day, all loi-
tering, lengthens the struggle and
makes defeat more possible. Therefore,
in the nations honor, heed: Acquit
yourselves like men, and as workers
on land do your duty with all your
