PLAY To
ANOTHER
TIE GAME
Good Football by
PunahouS and
Males.
LUCK SAVED THE
GREEN AND GOLD
Honors We're Even in the First
Half But Punahous Had the
Best in the Second.

Another great crowd witnessed the
second tie football game of the sea-
son at Punahou on Saturday, there be-
ing when the game was at its height
at least 1,5CO people present. The day
was an ideal one for the spectators.

preciated by the participants in the
game
The general opinion was that the Pu
nahou Athletics would defeat the Male
Ilimas somewhat easily, this estimate
of the result being based upon the Sc
TO defeat Of the Artillery by the Pu-
nahous and the tie played by the Males
and the Honoiulus a week ago.
The game ended in a tie, neither side
scoring. In the first half neither had ap-.
probably the best of it, but during the
latter section of the game. the Punahous
practically camped in their opponents
territory, and it was only lie phenome-
nal luck which perched on the green and
gold banner which averted signal de-
feat.
The Males played a greatly improved
and fairly heady game, while the Puma
hous as a rule relied on the weight be-
hind their rushes and were handicapped
TO some extent in the matter of speed by
said weight They husbanded their
strength in the first half by repeated
punts, and these tactics stood them in
good stead in the second half, when, at
times, they fairly ran over their oppon-
ents.

two sensational runs of the day, gaining

ers went through the wall of men like

by Morse, who ran up behind him, in
time to save a touchdown. There must
have been a nice large hole in the Puma
hou's line on both these occasions.
From whistle to whistle there was
enough excitement to glut the most fas-
tidious han<erer after action. In the
first half the Punahous played a kicking
game, the gains made by which, the
Males offset by an exhibition of football
which was fast, clever and in the main,
correct. In the second term the Puma
hous relied on weight and mass plays.
Time and time again they forced the
Males toward their own goal, and more
than once IL looked as IL nothing short OF
"a miracle could prevent them scoring.
The Males however, played with an
energy born of despair. They played TO
the last ounce that was left in them.
