PUNAHOUS AHEAD
Glorious Game Of Football Last
Saturday.
ONLY TWO MEN WERE INJURED
Prof. Howard Received a
Jolt in the Stomach.
PunahOuS Clearly OutpIayed the
Regiment Team-Preparing
for Thanksgiving.

Just now the championship in foot
ball for the season of 1896 lies between
the Town and the Punahou teams for
the soldier boys were beaten badly
Saturday afternoon by the jolly stud
ents From observations made in the
game between the Town and Regiment
teams, as we'll as the one of Saturday,
the Thanksgiving game will be worth
ness and determination on both sides,
and added to this there is a great
amount of good, sound head work and
skill. The Regiment team had about
the same men Saturday as they did in
the game against the Town team, but
they were beaten much worse by the
Punahous. While this gives the stud
ents the appearance of being better
than the Town team, yet it is safe to
say that either side will have a hard
fight before winning.
Long before the game began on Sat
urday, the grounds were dotted here
colors of their respective favorites, and
in carriages outside the division rail
were the fair ones whose interest was
none the less, even though they were
seated, when perhaps they wished they
might have been jumping up and down
as close to the gridiron as the police Of
ficers would allow, and blowing tin
horns, just to stave off some of the
excitement.
The teams lined up as follows, with
George r. Carter as umpire and John
Waterhouse as referee:

The game was called at 4 o'clock,
with the Regiment team in possession
of the ball. A long kickoff by Austin
put the Punahous in possession The
ball was advanced to the center of the
field. After some sharp fighting back
and forth Elias Long was given the ball
for the Punahous and went around the
right for a touchdown Babbitt failed
to kick goal.
Score: Punahou, 4: Regiment, o.
The ball went back to the center of
the field for another kickoff, aud again
the sharp fighting began, with the
pushing the ball steadily tc-
ward the enemy's goal. Armstrong
took the ball, and before anyone was
fully aware of the situation, had i: over
the line. Parker failed to kick goal.
Score: Punahou, 6; Regiment, @.
1t was again the Regiments kick
off, and the ball rolled under PunaLou's
goal. Antonio Long took it, and by
splendid interference made clean run
across the field for a touchdown. This
was not allowed on account of a fail
ure to observe the rules, and the score
