FOOTBALL.
Game at FunahOu Between the
School and Town.
PunahOu Wins in Two Inning
Game-NO Bones Broken
One Young Lady Wears
the School COIOrs.

Saturday quite number of per
sons gathered at the College grounds
to witness a friendly game of foot
ball between a team captained by
George Angus and the Punahou
eleven. Only eight of the town eleven
appeared on the grounds, so Captain
Angus took three Of the College
players, thus strengthening his team,
but weakening the College eleven, as
Hapai is considered the finest half
back the College ever had. That
young gentleman has the right build
and grit to make a name for himself
as a football player, if he we're only
trained in Yale or Princeton eleven
However, there is plenty of room for
him to improve his playing in the
Punahou eleven.
A large contingent of the day
scholars were present, especially the
young ladies. The presence of the
fair sex rather stimulated the
athletes as they lined up for hard
work. One thing was noticeable,
that there was an absence of the
College colors, and there was no
oahu Ga, Oahu o." during the
game Be it said, however, that one
young lady sported a duff and blue"
gown and no one was cognizant of
the fact. Boys! where are your eyes?
Such loyalty and patriotism for your
College, should not go unrewarded!

Referee George Richards started
the game about four o'clock. The
Punahou eleven won the toss and
took the ball; Captain Angus chose
the North goal. The ball was quick
ly dribbled to j. Judd, who made
about fifteen yards before he was
downed. Then a scrimmage ensued;
Chamberlain and Judd took turns in
l,ol
went to the other team. No advance
was made in the territory of the
Punahou team. Hapai, however, car
ried the ball about twenty-five yards.
Lyman was given a trial and re-
sponded nobly, with an advance of
twenty yards. A few more short
rushes and the ball was carried
through the center across the line by
j. Judd; Ross kicked a goal, making
the score 6 to 0 in favor of Punahou.
Second half After an intermis-
sion of ten minutes play began with
the ball in the center of the field. No
gain was made by Hapai and the ball
soon went to the other team. BY a
series of short rushes and an espec-
tally good rush by Judd through the
center, the ball was carried across
the line, thus scoring another touch
down; no goal was kicked The ball
was taken out to the twenty-five
yard line. Captain Angus changed
his tactics, called Cooke to play
quarter and he began a kicking
game. The Punahou eleven were
playing one man short, so had nc
fall-back to return the kicks. BY
this manner of playing the ball was
downed by Wright within five yards
of Punahou's goal. Now came the
crisis. Captain Angus punched his
men to push the ball across the line
After several vain attempts the bal
was secured by the Punahou team
on the fourth down. This was thu
last play of the game.
A great many criticisms might bt
made on individual players and gen
eral team work. Let it be noted b!
all enemies of football that there
were no bones broken, no faces dis
figured; in fact not an accident O.
any kind occurred during the entir,
game
