.PUNAHOUS KEEP
THEIR RECORD
STILL UNBEATEN-
DEFEAT II. A. C.'s AFTER HARD
GAME BY SCORE OF lie.

| Punahou won once more from the II.
A. C.'s after a hard fought game on
| saturday afternoon, scoring IL to ..
! The game was not marked by good
! football, but one or two brilliant plays
redeemed the almost constant rum
bling.
There was not a very large crowd
present most perhaps, thinking the is
sue a toregOne conclusion. There was
plenty of excitement, however, and
when the first half closed with the
score OF 60 in favor of the H. a. C.'s,
/ the game was interesting enough tUr
anyone. The II. a. C.'s played not on
ly to avert a double defeat, but also TO
get cnance to win second place in the
league. They imported new blood into
their lineup and played their hardest.
! Combination won the day for tne col
.legians against the much ueavIIr
weight of their opponents.
The goal obtained by the HUuululus
astonished even their own frleu.s and
left the Punahous amazed. Tuc nail
had been brought by prodigous effort
down t. the close vicinlty OF thu Puma
hou goal and John Lane, the clever
left guard for the Red and Whites,
made a dive for the line as the oall
was passed over. He went down under
the college tackles who thought him
Secure auL only rallied tnal he had
50. away when thy saw him dragged
Dy JOY and another IL. n. &. player te-
twee nthe posts and over the line. JOY
| had lugged Lane CtcLn lrOm the mess
OF tackles. JOY, eve ltually put out {!
the game with a twisted ankle, is play
ing nrst class football, and Saturday in
particular played a clean, good natured
Previous to the II. A. c. goal the col
legians had scored, and at the COM

out in grim earnest. They took the ball
fro mthe back of their own territory
and carried it up by runs and bucks.
Morse Saturday played the best indi-
Vidual game he has displayed so far.
His runs were well judged and his
lodging excellent. = ElA Il Q tn five
yard sprint which was the sta: play Of
the game. His asS,3 ing intc. ference
was not as COOL as it has G~en ami
Morse got away from lhrAe or fo@r al
tempted tackles very cleverly. Three
times he made big gains t. At lest the
bail was close to tie Lille on lae sec
ond down with about six inches more
need. The H. A. C.'s were palbably
weakening and determined rush Of
the Punahous brought the leather three
inches across the line. The goal was
kicked and the game practically ended
with four minutes of play left. The col
whistle blew with the ball twenty
yards away from the H. A. c. goal.
There was much fumbling on both
sides. At the commencement of the
second half the game looked more like
basket ball team football for a few
minutes. Blaisdell and Williamson
made some clean catches for their re-
spective sides. Hatch was too slow on
his punts and twice lost the ball by the
quickless of the II. A. 9. guards and
tackles in charging.
There was much encouragement from
the side lines. 1t is doubtful if the
coaches were actually instructing, al
though many thought so. Long plead
ed with his men in Hawaiian and what
he said was a mystery to the referee
The mounted police should however be
themselVs coached in their duties and
never under any circumstances allow a
team coach to get behind the goal line
as Long did during the struggle for q
touch down in the second half.
