HONOLULU LADS PLAY . IN THEIR BARE FEET

When a large number of the members of the Kamehameha school football squad at Honolulu turned out to their practice in bare feet And kicked the pigskin about as freely as though they were shod in brogans, C. G. Langenstein, the school’s new football coach from Northwestern university, Illinois, opened his eyes and shut his mouth in dumb amazement. Further, be saw that most of the boys wore nothing more than a shirt and a pair of overalls, instead of the armorlike pads of the mainland footballers. He expressed the opinion that hardihood in football players is not confined to the continental United States.
