Now comes football to take it's
place among the sports Of Maui. The
Waikiki field Saturday afternoon, the
opening game will be played between
the elevens of Waikiki and Paia the
referees whistle to blow for the
kickoff at 4 o'clock sharp.
OF all games that enjoy popularity
on the mainland there is hone that
stirs the blood and sends it tingling
through the veins, none lore replete
with excitement and thrills than foot
ball. none that requires more intense
concentration from the players, none
that demands such team work and
precision. Football is a game of
strategy and tactics which in science
Of attack and defense approaches the
science of q military campaign. 1t
is a mans game for strong youth and
that is the reason that college foot
ball draws cut attendance which ever
q worlds championship baseball
game cannot equal.
And now the game is to be intro
duced on Maui.
Teams Well Matched
Preliminary dope on the Saturday
game is hat the teams are evenly
matched and a battle royal should
result. Paia claims to have a line
that will hold like a stone wall and
Coleman, who is holding down back
position is looked upon to show the
form that made him a star of Kan
school eleven just a short time back.
For Waikiki, Captain Pogue, form
eT PunahOu and Davis College, Cali
fornia star is expected to be in the
thick of the melee, ably supported by
E. c. Morris, formerly with the Ma
rines team at Mare Island, Cal, DR..
Ting, \. ?. Low, A. H. Char and
Dick Penhallow, who have played the
game before. All of these are back
ed up by an able string of newcomers
at the game who have gone into game
showing that they will acquit them
selves favOrably when the test comes.
Others who make up the Waikiki
squad are: Ralph Baldwin, Ogden
Cummings, Harvey Cornwell, Herman
Scholtz, Frank Bal, Eugene Bal, Jack
HiOna. Yeck Man, H. J. Laa, Tenn
COckett and Frank Lawrence. James
Euos, Charlie Waiwaiole and Eddie
Thompson are on the injured list at
present but it is hoped that they will
be in good condition for the second
game of the series.
Rally Friday Evening
Wailuku fans are asked to get back
OF their team because they are worthy
OF the best support that can be given
a team. There is nothing that is bet
ter in backing up a team than good
hearty, poppy cheering, and with that
in view a lively rally will be staged
at the ball park at 1880 sharp next
Friday evening. There will be a
bonfire, speeches, yells, and songs and
the boys who will defend the honor
of Waikiki will be there, too.
Reserved seats for Saturdays game
as well as series tickets for all games
are now on sale at the Maui Sporting
Goods Company and a call for tele-
phone, Waikiki 272, will assure a
first class seat. 1t is also possible to
make reservation for parking space
for cars on the sidelines where one
can enjoy the game.
BleaChers are now being installed
on both sides of the field and ample
arrangements are being completed to
care for any crowd however large.
The field is in good condition and
there is very indication that the open
ing game will be a hummer.
