r. Carter Mixes it Up With Ruled
off Players.

The Thanksgiving match between the
Punahou Athletics and the Honolulu
Athletic Club attracted some two thou
sand people to the oahu college campus
yesterday afternoon The match was
an interesting one resulting in the de-
feat of the Honolulu's by score Of
twenty nine to six after forty-five min
utes play.
Considerable friction occurred con-
corning the umpire and his decisions
early in the game between that official
and the Honolulu Athletic Team. Sew
eral incidents, starting with the first
touchdown. the eviction of Vida from
the field and finally the falling of Kim
ball on Baisdell's head tended to make
the Honolulu's think that the decisions
were preiudiced. The Kimball- Blaisdell
incident was undoubtedly an accident
Kimball invariably playing a clean and
excellent game. Cunha was retired for
the same offence as Vida, smuggling. The
losing of the Yale man at center greatly
weaken the Honolulus which was taken
every advantage of by their opponents
in the second half Twice the Homo
| lulus were on the point of quitting for
alleged favoritism on the part of UNI
| pire Carter but wiser counsels prevailed
| and the game went on. In the second
| half, the game being temporarily sus-
| pended during a discussion between the
umpire, refree and captain, after a gen
eral kick by the Honolulu Athletic
team. Cunha in entire violation of
the rules walked into the field and
| vas Immediately ordered off by Carter
| under penalty of the game being for
feited if he did not obey. Cunha after
some unsportsmanlike resistance re-
| tired behind the ropes. In a later
| squabble between the umpire and the
| H. A. G. players, Cunha again advanced
into the field. Carter ordered the po-
lice to remove him. Lieutenant Leslie
and Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth rode
up and Carter called upon them to en-
| force his orders. Cunha retired beyond
| the side lines but refused to go behind
| the ropes and questioned Carters au-
| thority to make him retreat further OF
forfeit the game to the Punahous on ac-
count of his refusal to go behind the
ropes. Carter called again on the Off.
GERS. Chillingworth dismounted as Car
ter lost his temper and made rush fol
the big center. High Sheriff Brown
came up and Cunha went behind the
ropes under threatened penalty of ar.
rest
Umpire Carter based his ruling on
the following rule of the game. Cunha
by his words and actions being clearly
engaged in coaching
| Whenever the umpire notices or is
Informed by the referee or linesman
that a substitute or any other person
not participating in the game is coach
ling, he shall Immediately exclude the
offender for tho remainder of the game
from the neighborhood of the field OF
play: i. e.. send the offender behind the
ropes or fence surrounding the field OF
play
The consensus of opinion seems to bC
that not only was Carter thoroughly
justified by the rules in all orders ht
made but that his decisions We're clear
cut and impartial.
