Honolulu Record, August 26, 1948, vol. 1 no. 4, p. 1
With the first football game of the Hawaiian Senior League scheduled for Sept. 1, at 8 p.m., the Oahu Democratic county committee which is sponsoring the grid contest met last Thursday night to get reports of ticket sales and to push the attendance at the game.
After listening to reports from various members of precinct clubs, Jack Burns, chairman of the Oahu County Committee, said that sale of tickets was progressing encouragingly. However, he stressed that within the next two weeks, members must go all out to have a record crowd for the first game. Proceeds from the game will go into the coming political campaign fund.
Phillip Minn, member on the football committee, reported that a lively program is being lined up for the half-time session.
Practice sessions by the Moiliili Cardinals under Coach Johnny MacColgan, and the scrimmages held by the Hawaiian Islanders, tutored by Chin Do Kim, indicate a hard fought battle for the league opener.
Many prep school stars who played for Saint Louis, Kaimuki, Iolani, McKinley and Roosevelt will be playing their first Senior League Game.
