/ WAS A TOWN|E Day.
Concluded from Page Five.)

abe. Inc lunanOu lduS were ulldItu
at the cleverness of their opponents.
Cunha, the big burly right guard of
the punahous, who found no trouble
in breaking through the Regiments
gard, met his Waterloo yesterday. Sew
eral times he was in possession of the
ball, and almost simultaneously some
one of the Town Team was in posses
sion of him.. The Regiment lads in
variably tackled Cunha about the legs
but this was not so yesterday. He was
caught about the arms and was hurled
back to the ground, the Punahou team
losing almost without exception, Cum
has measurement on the ground.
Conrad, Carlo Long, Cocl<ett and
Damon were the stars in the Town
Team. The work done by them was
exceedingly clever. Conrad scored two
touchdowns, one of which was not al
lowed. His interference and tacllling
were very good.
Damon distinguished himself at div
ers times during the progress of the
game. 1t was a"Hurrah for Damon"
continually. Near the close of the
second half the Punahous had the ball
and had passed it to Parker to kick
into the Honolulu territory. Damon,
with the quickness of a cat, was at
Parlter's feet, stopped the ball and
was down on it.
w. IL. Cornwell. Jr., as right half,
did some fine work for the Town
Team. He was handicapped several
times on account of the slippery field.
George Waterhouse, the quarterback,
was active and always on hand. Chris
Hollis tackling was one of the strong
points of the Town Teams game.
Long, as center, Cocbett, Cupid, Chill
! lingworth, Tuft and Lane, all did good
work.
The reputation of the heretofore
victorious punahous is not injured in
the slightest in the estimat ton of many
hundreds who saw yesterdays eXhi-
bition. The score was as close as t
could possibly be and not be tie
That it was won by dint of the most
stubborn fighting and bringing into
use of every bit of science in this ma
tional game no one realizes better
than the Town Boys themselves. The
Oahu College Faculty and admirers of
the Punahou eleven, may well be
proud of such an aggregation of skill
full players.
Professor ingalls,, as captain and
left half did noble work for his side.
The sudden retirement of Capt. Bah
bitt made it doubly hard on Professor
ingalls, and could not help but work
to the disadvantage of the team. In
gals tacltling and interference was
some of the best work done on the
gridiron yesterday.
Professor Howard was the same rs
usual. He always plays good and he
did so yesterday. No one kicked the
pigskin as well as Parker Ella Long
and Antonio Long were conspicuous
in every good play Armstrong as d
runner was admired by everyone
Kluegel got ratified once or twice in
the beginning of the game, but he re
deemed himself in fine style. Rawlins
was very active. Judd, Cunha and
Greenwich did strong playing.
Lane, of the Town Team, was sent
off the field by the umpire for violat
ing one of the rules. David Koii sue
ceeded him and did excellent work fol
his side. Willie Damon, a brother o.
Fred Damon, took Professor ingalls,
position as quarterback during the
second half.
One happy feature of the Thanks
giving foot ball game was that Their,
were no serious accidents, though
dozen of the players are nursing
bruises.
