the Many Spectators.

Three to%uchdowns, each with a little
tinge of the yellow about them, tell the
story of the result of the opening game
of the football season Saturday. OF the
three the P%unahous got w and the
Males one, and from each the goal was
kicked handily, making the ina score:
Punahous twelve, Males six. 1t was a
and before a crowd of nearly 1000 peo-
pie, who displayed their interest in the
gam by roofing for their teams in the
most approved style and giving the vic
tors a rousing sendoff hen they won.
The game despite the fumbling and
offside features which marked it gave
a decided line on the game of which
the contesting teams is competent.
The men showed up in good form, the
,Punahous put into the game their
known skill and ability and handled
themselves like veterans, losing two
t~ouchdowns by unfortunate misplays
while right on the enemy's line, and
disclosing that in Anderson they have
and end who will make the games of
the season all the more enjoyable by
his excellent tackling and fast work in
general.
On the part of the Males there was
not the team work that he practice
play gave the friends of the Zebras a
right to expect. In their training play
the striped legged men ave run as a
team, but in the work against a strong
team like the collegians, the men seem
ed to be unable to move into their
formations and especially to get their
interference going, which latter was
thought to be the strongest point OF
Benson's coaching. They appeared to
be slow and more often than otherwise
the ends and tackles could not get u
of the way of the backs.
There were sensational eatures and
to spare. Clark pulled off two of these,
one a run of sixty-ive yards and again
a clear run of eighty-two yards for a
touchdown. Morse, troubled with a

managed with some fine interference
to scratch off forty-five yards and
Hatch, through a hole made by Iaukea
and Warehouse, ran fifty yards to be
stopped by Clark. The failure of Clark

watch his pursuers and he was caught
by Marcallino who put up a fine stern
chase. Had the quarterback run

On the line the Punahous seemed to
be the better team, though the Males
at their own goal line twice stood firm
and got the ball on downs. Wright and
James played the principal game be-
hind the line for the stripped Legged
lads, Johnson showing well when he had
the ball, but in defense not giving his
center the best support. For the COL
legians Hatch was the star, Morse do
ing finely until laid out and Marcallino
and Mark Robinson getting into the
game every time. Fuller was a host on
the line and Armstrong divided the run
ming honors with Anderson.

Morse was given the ball and circled
the Male right end for forty-five yards,

none of the Males could catch either

had to punt. Hatch punted after two
bucks which awaited little, and, the ball
