more than filed the grand stand ana |
carriages were lined up on the side of
the gridiron.
The game was "A disappointment 10
many From the very beginning 1t
was all one sided and in favor .ef the
big Town team. The RegimefH and
Punahou lads were lacking in team
work, several players were altogether
too light for the contest and lack of
science and force throughout the en-
tire team were the principal reasons
why they were shut out.
And then the Townies seemed to be
in the very pink of condition and their
good team work proved that they had
trained for the event.
The game opened shortly after $3.50
o'clock. Previous to this time the
Government band had entertained the
crowd of people with several choice
selections.
Angus made the kickoff for the
Town. Cornwell, Prince Cupid and
Chsis Holt made good gains for the
I Town team before the first touchdown
was made by Angus. Cornwell failed
in his attempt to kick goal.
Cunha kicked the pigskin almost 20
the Town teams goal. Angus caugh:
the ball and by steady gains the = ,wn
boys scored touchdown, Chris Holt

to do So Cornwell failed to kick goal
this time also.

the kickoff for the combination team.

down the field with a half dozen men
on the opposing team tugging at his

good game. Chris Holt and John Lane
both strong, active and wiry, did very
