PUNAHOU CHAMPIONS
Continued from Page L.

{ Tn 10 this time, with the exception of
her ends, Males had played a brilliant
game. but in the second half they fell
!. down. Their line held we'll but plays
around the end usually resulted in great
gains for the Punahous. James kicked
off to Anderson who fumbled and a Ma
lie man downed the ball. James adj
| yanced the ball two yards. There were
| a few minor gains following until Maile
| funbled the ball and Armstrong took it.
then Morse got a clear field and went
out for a twenty-five yard run around
Males right end. Anderson followed
this UP with twenty-five yard run
around Males left end. The ball was
4 then fumbled but Armstrong dropped
on it again. Punahous then punted to
Clark who advanced the ball ten yards.
At the third down with four and half
yards to gain Males drew their ends
back for a punt but got in a quarter
back trick. This however failed to gain
the ground needed and Punahous took
the ball, sending Morse around Males
right end for ten yards. Hatch took it
through for two yards and Rycroft for
one and failing to gain enough the Ma
lies again took the leather. Males fail
ed against both line and ends and
Hatch blocking a punt left the ball
eleven yards from Punahou's goal in
Punahou hands. Morse then went
around Males weak right end and got
the touchdown The ball was punted in
but no one catching it Punahous lost
the goal. Score: Males, 6; Puma
hous, 5.
Males then kicked off to Rycroft who
advanced the ball fifteen yards Morse
took it around Males right end for
forty-five yards and deposited it across
the line but Referee Brooks declared
that Morse had stepped outside the
bounds while being carried along with
his interference, and made the Puma
hous bring the ball back to the center
of the field. The Punahous made a big
kick but made up for their loss a mo-
nlent later. Rycroft made very fine
run of forty yards and was followed by
splspdid. run by Morse for fifteen
yards and touchdown, around Males
right end. Punahou failed to kick goal
Score: Punahou. 10; Males, s.
BY this time Morse was all played
out and Robinson took his place. The
Males kicked to Armstrong and Robin |
son at once got around Males right
end for twenty yards. The Males then
took James and Mannis out of the
game and put in Alameda and Desha.
Rycroft took the ball for twenty yards
around Males right end and in trying
1T second time ran up against
Benny Clark who broke the whole
Punahou interference and stopped Ry-
croft from making a touchdown. The
Males got the ball at a time when it
was dangerously near their goal and :
there was some lively playing. Rich
ardson was sent from the field for pick
ing up a Punahou man and hurting him
to the ground. Males tried hard to
get in a play but time was called, Ieav-
ing the honors with Punahou by
score of ten to six.
While there was plenty of high feel
ing during the game, last evening the
Males seemed to be content to permit
the decision of the officials to stand I'M
though some seemed con-.
WINGED that only through the decision
of Elston did they lose the match.
During the final minutes of the play
the Males seemed to lose cohesiveness
until their last rally on the ten-yard
line, when the line was like a wall. It
was at this point that the first exhibit
ton of smuggling that has marked the
contests was given, and it
must NC dClIiputeu 10 the excitement
which imbued players, and onlookers
with strong sympathies as well. There
was deal of coaching from the crowd
and the noise was deafening at times.
The spectators were at loss some
times as to who had the ball. owing to
a lack of distinctive coloring, either in
jerseys or stockings, the men not wear
ing any uniform throughout.
F. NJ. Brooks, the coach of the H. A.
c. team, who acted as the referee, said
last evening that the game was perhaps
the best football that he has seen in
The victory laid with the
team in the best condition, as the Ma I
lies preceptibly weakened toward the
close of the match.
