WAS BEST ISLAND GAME
An Enthusiastic Crow of 1000.
Hard Battling Local Men
Failed to Mark.

Yesterday was a historic period in
the foot ball annals OF Honolulu. The
games with the Pennsylvania boys
were won by very small margin and
few runs were made OF any conse-
quence. II was ping. ping. ping. one
yard, two yards. until a score was
made.
But the game yesterday With the
Iowas was a revelation To most OF the
followers OF the sport who had not
seen the game outside OF the Islands.
The guards. back interference. the
thrilling runs around the ends by the
Iowa half-backs. the place kick goals
from the field. the burning enthusiasm
among the Iowa ''rooteTs,' the alb
sence OF all pickering and the gentle
manly conduct OF players and regi-
ment men-aII these introduced Il new
picture of the attractions and possi-
bilities OF this game. which has won
such place in the hearts OF every
schoolboy and college man.
To the Iowa mon belongs the great
credit OF exhibiting the finest and
cleancst game ever seen in the Ha-
waiian Islands, and the lovers OF good
sport gladly take off their hats in gen
uine admiration for the players who
represented their regiment on the grid
iron yesterday and congratulate the
officers and men OF the Iowa regiment
on their splendid loyalty to the eleven.

ness the game. many of whom were
ladies. "Rooters' from Iowa were
lined up on either side and with voice.

shouting for their own team. but gave
Punabou an ovation when they took
the field for practice. and during the
game when they made some OF their
brilliant plays.

played against
