TWENTY-NINE to six in favor Of

the Punahou Athletic Club was
the score at the conclusion Of the
big football game yesterday, and any
doubts which may have existed as to
the superiority of the winning team
over Others of the league We're COM
pletely swept away.
1t was memorable game in many
respects, and while the quality of the
football played was, on the whole, dis
appointing, the contest fairly bristled
with sensational incidents, and the
huge crowd of spectators certainly got
their moneys worth of entertainment.
The gathering on the campus was
perhaps the largest which has attend
ed sporting event for many years.
When the game started there must
have been 1880 people present and
at the end of the first half the attend
ance was well over the 1000 mark The
ropes were lined three deep, and be-
hind were numerous vehicles, each
creaking beneath its load. More tickets
were sold than there We're accommo-
dations provided.
1t was essentially n holiday crowd
which came to enjoy themselves. 1t
was also very demonstrative crowd
which cheered, yelled and hooted when
It thought there was the slightest
ground for such outbreaks of favor or
otherwise. The majority, probably,
would not have passed an examination
FOR an umpire's job, but this in no
wise diminished their enthusiasm
They witnessed the effort and it's sequel
OF victory or defeat; the tournament
OF brain and Drawn: the passion and
lust of the struggle, and were salts
fed.
The scene was gay one. Everyone
wore club colors. The red and white
of the Honolulus. the gold and blue
Of the Punahous, and the bizarre green
and gold of the Male llimas, all help
ed to make a spectacle which was ka-
leidoscopic in coloring and shifting
effects. The colors of the contesting
clubs were identical with those of the
two great California universities.
over night the Punahous ruled ia
vorites in the betting, but there was
quite disposition to hedge on the
field. The natives We're with the Ho-
nolulus to a man and did not hesitate
TO back their choice. Another thing
which made friends for the Honolulus
was the fact that Henry Cockett was
included in the team. His name had
been omitted from the lists furnished
to the press, and his presence was call
cuIated to greatly strengthen his side.
The best team won, and that Is about
all there is to 1t. The Punahous devel-
oped surprising strength and their OPP
p0nents equally surprising weakness.
The Honolulus were simply outplayed
at every stage of the game in the sec
ond half, while in the first half they
managed to hold their own.
The score at the end of the first
half was six all. Morse scored for
the sPunahous, and Gleason did the
trick for the Honolulus. In the sec
ond section of the game the Punahous
touched down four times, J. Marcaliino
O, .Soper, A. Marcallino and Morse
crossing the line. Goals resulted from
five of the six touchdowns, and the
kicking was remarkably accurate.
Gleason's great SO-yard run was the
feature Of the game. Punahous had
the ball on the Honolulus' 20-yard line
and as soon as it was snapped Gleason
broke through center. secured the ball
and ran the whole length Of the field
with 1t, never being headed. BlaisdelI
deserves great credit for his superb
interfering on Gleason's behalf
There was trouble galore throughout
the game. and George r. Carter, the
umpire, had his hands full from whis-
tie to whistle. When the Punahous
made their first touchdown the Homo
iulus protested on the ground that the
umpire had signalled ofY-side against
