punahou Wins at Football.

from being beaten yesterday afternoon
even worse than when they bucked
up against the H. a c. team. AS it
was the soldier boys werer beaten $50,

the HonoIuius rolled up against them.
] Coach Benson is certainly playing in
hard luck, for although he has good
and capable men. SO far the soldiers
have been badly beaten in the town

heavy as the Punahou line. but the
latter team as whole is infinitely
quicker.
/ The soldiers tried end runs yester-
day TO a considerable extent but failed
TO make any material gains through

were unable 20 stop the Punahou team

Although the price OF admission was
lowered yesterday, the crowd which
turned out was probably the worst of

have done everything in their power
to furnish good sport to the crowds.
