Rainbow Fall Camp
Star-BulletinThe lights were on at Cooke Field last night, but only the special teams were home for the University of Hawaii football team.
Third-year head coach Fred vonAppen changed his mind and decided to hold one last practice before today's final fall camp workouts. He had planned a scrimmage for this morning, but that also has been scrapped.
"We've got enough film on these guys," vonAppen said last night. "We just have too many guys sidelined to hold a scrimmage."
Come Monday, the Rainbows will have a two-deep chart in place and will primarily use those players on it as they prepare for their Sept. 3 opener with the University of Arizona.
"We've got to start narrowing our focus and begin preparing a little harder for the Wildcats," vonAppen said. "We believe we've given everybody a good look and a chance to play.
"Now, we've got to decide as coaches, who we think can help us right away. There aren't that many days left and we still have a ton of work to do."
Arizona also held a scrimmage last night for similar reasons. Like vonAppen, Wildcats head coach Dick Tomey is looking for a definitive depth chart. His team is ranked No. 24 in the nation in The Associated Press preseason poll, something vonAppen doesn't want fans to forget.
"We have a chance to be a better football team, but it's tough opening against an established opponent like Arizona," vonAppen said. "You would like your guys to open with Sacramento State, but it doesn't always work that way."
The most intriguing areas for the Rainbows can be found up front on offense and in the secondary. Questions may have been answered in the defensive backfield, but the offensive line is still a major area of concern.
UH defensive coordinator Tom Williams believes the newcomers made such a good impression, that several may challenge the veterans for starting jobs.
Safety Phil Austin, and cornerbacks Quincy LeJay and James Polk have made steady progress in only two weeks of work. The top corners are Celnell Bobbitt and Donnell Williams. Daniel Ho-Ching and Anthony Smith are the No. 1 safeties.
"The only thing the new guys lack is game experience," UH secondary coach Mickey Pruitt said. "Once they get that, they have as much chance to play as anybody."
Things along the offensive front aren't as quite as comforting. VonAppen has said several times this week that he is unhappy with that group's overall progress.
"I think I get angry with those guys at least once or twice a day," vonAppen said. "We just aren't coming together as quickly as I would have liked."
Don't be surprised if freshman Chris Smith wins the starting job at center. Once Andy Phillips heals from a shoulder injury, offensive line coach Greg Olejack figures he'll start at right guard.
Right tackle Kaulana Noa also is bothered by a slight ankle sprain, so continuity up front remains a problem. If Smith wins the starting job at center, look for Keith Tomomitsu to slip over from center to left guard and Vincent Street will start at left tackle.
"It's still too early to say what we're going to do up front, but we've got to get it together and soon," vonAppen said. "I believe once the line figures out what we're trying to do, we could become a force on offense."
Tight ends Adrian Klemm and freshman James Bessard should also provide some solid blocking. Bessard has the better hands, but Klemm's footwork is stellar by comparison.Quarterback is still up in the air. VonAppen said the top three are Josh Skinner, Dan Robinson and Bronson Liana, but conceded Shawn Withy-Allen isn't that far off the lead.
"It's going to be a situational kind of thing," vonAppen said. "Depending on what we're trying to get done, any of those guys could see some playing time."
University of Hawaii offensive lineman Kynan Forney arrived from Texas yesterday and attended last night's practice at rain-swept Cooke Field. Rainbow Football Digest
"It's good we finally got him in," UH head coach Fred vonAppen said. "He'll have to sit three days before he can put on the pads, but considering the health of our other offensive linemen, we're glad he's with us."
Forney got his grades in from Trinity Valley (Texas) Community College. The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder was an all-conference selection on a team that finished 12-0 en route to winning a junior college national championship.
"We'll probably look at him as a tackle," vonAppen said. "He's way behind, but he still has some time to learn some things over the next 10 days."
INJURY UPDATE: If the Rainbows were to step on the field tomorrow, the only two who couldn't play are offensive lineman Andy Phillips (shoulder) and outside linebacker Rinda Brooks (pulled hamstring).
Hawaii still has several players banged up. Quarterback Josh Skinner has yet to have contact on his hip pointer, and safety Daniel Ho-Ching and outside linebacker Yaphet Warren are slowed with muscle pulls.
"That's one reason we won't have a scrimmage (today)," vonAppen said. "We just have too many guys nicked up.
TICKETS ON SALE: Individual tickets for Hawaii football go on sale to the general public beginning Aug. 25 at the Aloha Stadium box office.
The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Tickets are also available for purchase by calling the stadium charge line at 484-1122. The toll free number on neighbor islands is 1-800-291-3999. Season tickets for UH students, faculty and staff remain on sale at the UH campus center box office, but will end on Aug. 26.
Tickets for student super rooter begin Aug. 31 at the campus ticket office. Tickets for eight home games in that section will cost $65. Prices for students in other sections for eight games is $77. It's $101 for faculty and staff, and $117 for a guest of students, faculty and staff.
Individual game prices are $16 for sideline and $14 for end zone. There will be a $9 charge for individual tickets for students (4 through high school) in the north end zone and for senior citizens (65 and older). Unreserved tickets for super rooters and their guests are $9. There are also various fees for handling charges.
Hawaii's home games are Arizona on Sept. 3, Arkansas State on Sept. 26, SMU on Oct. 3, BYU on Oct. 17, New Mexico on Oct. 24, San Jose State on Nov. 7, Northwestern on Nov. 21 and Michigan on Nov. 28.
GAME RESCHEDULED: The Hawaii-San Diego State football game originally scheduled for Oct. 10 in Qualcomm Stadium has been moved up a day to avoid any potential conflict with the San Diego Padres' postseason schedule. The Hawaii-San Diego State game now is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 9, at 7:05 p.m. PDT.
It's likely the Padres will be playing in the National League championship series at Qualcomm on Oct. 10. This possibility was originally reported in the Star-Bulletin a month ago. UH athletic department officials weren't aware of it until reading that story.
San Diego State athletic director Rick Bay was upset about the scheduling conflict and addressed it yesterday in a press release.
"This is the fifth time in a span of 14 home games that we have had to make an adjustment in our schedule due to a stadium conflict with the Padres," Bay said. "It really points to this city's need for a new ballpark, in that the three major tenants can't effectively schedule in Qualcomm Stadium.
"The moves we've had to make have caused tremendous inconvenience to our fans and have made our marketing efforts extremely difficult. It has easily cost our program more than $500,000 in lost revenues over the past three seasons."

Match play the best way
By Bill Kwon, Star-Bulletin
for Grand SlamI'VE always been a proponent for match play in golf, especially in one of the majors. The PGA Championship used to be played in that format before switching to stroke play in 1948.
So it was nice to know that the PGA Grand Slam featuring Tiger Woods, Mark O'Meara, Lee Janzen and Vijay Singh on Nov. 17-18 at the Poipu Bay Resort on Kauai will be match-play competition.
Since the $1 million Grand Slam involving winners of golf's four majors began in 1991, it had been 36 holes of stroke play with the winner getting $400,000 and the runner-up $250,000. Third place is worth $200,000, fourth $150,000. The money breakdown will remain the same.
For those who don't know the difference between a birdie and a bogey, match play is a hole-by-hole format, while stroke play is the total score for 18 holes.
Match play's more exciting, more of a mental game. You can forget a bad hole, which you can't in stroke play. A golfer wins, loses or ties a hole based on his score and that of his opponent.
Example: Tiger posts a 3 on the opening hole to Janzen's 4. Tiger is 1 up. Tiger can get a 10 on No. 2 to Janzen's 3 and the match is only even. In stroke play, Tiger's chasing six strokes after two holes. That would never happen. Tiger would pick up and concede the hole.
All 18 holes are required in stroke play. In match play, 12 holes will suffice, if someone wins, 7 and 6. That is, he has won 7 up with 6 to play.
By the way, Woods will be playing Janzen and O'Meara will take on Singh in the other match on the first day. The winners will meet for the title with the losers playing for third place the following day.
The pairings were based on the World Rankings, according to PGA of America spokesman Julius Mason.
THAT'S why Tiger is topseeded even though he's the alternate in the event. The others in the foursome got there by winning the majors -- O'Meara the Masters and British Open, Janzen the U.S. Open and Singh the PGA Championship.
Woods got the nod as first alternate under a point system involving the finishes in this year's majors by former winners. Nick Price was second with Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Davis Love III and Jose Maria Olazabal finishing in that order.
Tiger hasn't exactly said yes yet. But there's no doubt he will return to Kauai.
"We're under the impression that he enjoyed himself last year," said Mason. "Besides, he's got his good friend Mark O'Meara there."
What a final-day match that would be on national TV if Woods meets O'Meara mano a mano -- which is what match play is all about.
Interestingly, the previous Grand Slam champions would have been the same under either format except the year that Ben Crenshaw won, according to Michael Castillo, Poipu Bay's head golf professional.
CRENSHAW chipped in for an eagle at the par-5 18th hole to win by one stroke over Steve Elkington and Corey Pavin in 1995.
"Crenshaw would have been closed out on the 16th hole in match play, while Elkington and Pavin would have gone extra holes," said Castillo after studying their scorecards.
"It'll definitely be different and, in a lot of ways, more exciting. Especially if it works out that O'Meara plays Tiger," Castillo said.
Castillo did have a couple of reservations about the match-play format.
"I don't know how the spectators will respond to the third-place match," he said. A spectator would have to decide which match to follow.
Also, added Castillo, "Our dramatic finishing holes (Nos. 16 through 18 overlooking the Pacific) may not be viewed on television."
But it's a small price to pay for a slam-dunk change.

romp over Farrington
Star-BulletinKamehameha and Farrington, the goliaths of Kalihi, slammed into each other in the nightcap of a doubleheader last night at Aloha Stadium.
The result was an impressive offensive and defensive showing by the Warriors who routed the Governors, 34-6.
Senior running back Chad Mahoe ran for three touchdowns (5, 3 and 2 yards) and had 110 total yards (37 rushing) to lead the team predicted to be St. Louis' top rival in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu this coming season.
Mahoe and junior Everett Hesia (43 yards on the ground) combined to look like they will be able to fill the void left by two-time all-state rusher Jacob Ordenstein.
In addition, the Warriors saw two quarterbacks -- senior Ekolu Smith (72) and Dennis DuPont (147) -- combine for 219 aerial yards. The passing game was highlighted by a 77-yard DuPont-to-David Ellis play that scored late in the first half.
Defensively, the Warriors were aggressive and made the job of Farrington quarterback Nicholas Tiqui nearly impossible.
With linemen Houston Ala and David Kapololu pressuring Tiqui all night, defensive back Jon Mikimiki Souza picked him off twice in the second half and stripped him of the ball on a bootleg in the late in the game.
The critical Kamehameha defensive play came at the end of a 12-play Farrington drive that saw the Governors' Mark Paleafei fumble the football at the Governors' nine to sophomore Trevor Meyers.
"A big swing for us," said Souza.
If the Governors had scored on this march, it would've made it a 14-7 game.
Instead, the turnover resulted in a 77-yard touchdown pass play to David Ellis that made it, 21-0.
"We were lucky more than good," said Kamehameha head coach Kanani Souza, playing down the early win.
Asked if he thinks he has enough to talent o both sides of the ball to contend with the 12-time defending Prep Bowl champion Crusaders this year, he said, "That's an awful long way down the road, and St. Louis looked awfully good last night."
St. Louis rolled past Kansai, a Japanese prep team, 46-0, Thursday night in its first game of the year at the stadium.
Farrington committed several mistakes with the football, including three fumbles lost and the two inteceptions.
"We made a lot of mistakes," said Farrington head coach Skippa Diaz. "But Kamehameha has a pretty good running game and a solid defense that shut us down pretty good."

Star-BulletinChief executive officer Lenny Klompus said last night that University of Montana standouts Brian Ah Yat and Raul Pacheco, and Tennessee-Chattanooga lineman Kolumane Fainuulelei had received invitations.
"In fact, Kolumane has already said he will play in the game," Klompus said of the former Farrington High standout. "We're always happy to get players from here into this game."
Fainuulelei went to Arizona Western Junior College before deciding to go to Tennessee-Chattanooga in February of 1997. He also thought about coming to the University of Hawaii.
As for Ah Yat and Pacheco, the two former Iolani School standouts have yet to send back their invitations, but both are expected to say yes.
Ah Yat finished the regular season in 1997 with 2,691 yards passing and 21 touchdowns. In 1996, Ah Yat threw for 3,615 yards and 42 touchdowns.
His favorite target is Pacheco. Pacheco had 705 receiving yards last year. He has 1,919 in three years with Montana.
Klompus said he must talk with UH head coach Fred vonAppen before announcing what Hawaii players will be considered for the team. Last year, the Rainbows had center Shane Oliveira, and defensive backs Chris Shinnick and Eddie Klaneski.
The leading candidates for the Rainbows are linebackers Stephen Gonzales, Rinda Brooks and Kamuela Cobb-Adams, and wide receiver Eleu Kane.

Waimea 13, Leilehua 6: At Leilehua, the Menehunes from Kauai took a 13-0 lead on Rocky Aviguetero's 50-yard touchdown pass to Chaz Barba and a 4-yard scoring run by Brandon Perreira, then held off the Mules' fourth-quarter comeback bid.
Darius Boulton scored for Leilehua on a 4-yard run in the final period.

leaves for BYU
Star-BulletinShe will transfer to Brigham Young University according to here father, Panesi.
"We argued about this for a long time because you don't throw something like this (a full scholarship) away," her father said. "When she accepted the scholarship we were very grateful for that.
"It was nothing about the coaches, her teammates, the school or Hawaii. It was mainly that she comes from a strong religious background. She is a member of the Mormon Church and had always desired to go to a church school and be in that type of surrounding.
"Her decision showed me she had the courage to stand up for what she believed in."
According to her father, Afualo made the decision knowing that it might mean she would not play basketball again. He said she would try out at BYU.
"Our program isn't for everybody," UH head coach Vince Goo said. "She told us she liked everything about the program, but her religion was the reason she was leaving.
"She has been granted her release. Academically, she had no problems. She's a good kid and a good student. I hope she does well where ever she goes."
Afualo was one of three redshirts last season along with forward Karena Greeny and guard Kii Spencer-Vasconcellos.

Plucky Ballard wins surf heat
On her first wave of the quarterfinal heat, Ballard paddled into a double-up wave and was sucked over the falls right after taking off. When she finally surfaced in the white water, her board had been shattered.
Five minutes later, with a back-up board her husband Bill rushed to the water's edge, Ballard was back in the line-up, playing catch-up to Menczer. She finally grabbed the lead with just three minutes left in the 25-minute heat.
In the completion of Round 2 of the men's event, Hawaii's Kaipo Jaquias, Ross Williams, Kalani Robb and John Shimooka stayed alive with victories but Derek Ho was eliminated. Shane Dorian, Shawn Sutton and Andy Irons of Hawaii had advanced earlier to Round 3.
