PUlNAHOU SPRING SURPRISE;
DEFEAT h. A. c. 10 TO S

1t is doubtful if the prophets have
yet recovered their second wind after
receiving the staggering body blow in
the football game of yesterday. It
was in the books of the experts that
weight and hammering power of the
H. A C.s would overcome the Puma
nou team that was supposed to be weak
and light The event twisted these
predictions into knot.
The Honolulus had never a chan..e to
win. from the kick-off to the call of
time, and when they rolled back the
Punahou attack, or broke through the
line, the victors came back like the
third wave the seashore piles up after
two less eager breakers have rolled
in.
The Punahous certainly sprung a
surprise and caught the husky bunch"
from the Athletic Club over-confldent.
A wonderful Improvement on the part
of the Punahous and the H. A. C.'s
not up to the standard tells the story.
The College boys relied upon an end
running game to carry them to victory
and at this game they were able to
make some splendid long runs that
fairly took the breath away from the
Athletic boys. 1t is this style OF game
that Punahou excels in. 1t would have
.been poor Judgment on the part OF the
College boys to have tried to advance
the ball by bucking as their opponents
We're far too heavy.
Punahou outpiayed the Red and
white at every department of the game
411Ia of d the
way they have gotten together since
their defeat at the hands of the Ma
lies. They showed that they have had
some valuable coaching and that good
hard ticks have installed team work
Although the H. A. C.'s outweighed
them nearly fifteen pounds to the man
they were absolutely worthless. Turn
err was the star of the day, as it was
he who skirted the H. A. C.'s right end
for the first long run of the day and
it was this run that took all the Wlnd
out of the Reds sails. With the ball
snugly tucked under his arm and aided
by good interference, quick lodging and
a good right arm little Turner sprinted
for thirty-five yards. 1t was shortly
after that he repeated the play
PUNAHoU SCORE QUICK TOUCH
DOWN.
At s:15 the whistle sounded for the
KICKOFF. H A. c., who had lost the
toss. kicked to Punahou's twenty-five
yard line, it was run in by Judd for
ten yards. Punahous were held for
downs and the H A. c. team had pos
session of the ball. They at once at
tackled the College boys right wing
and made some good gains. Punahous
took a brace and held their heavy an
tagonists 1t was at this stage OF the
game that Turner, the speedy little
thaIf made his pretty run. The finish
F6f the H. A. c. was neaI\ at hand ana
Punahou had little difficulty in chas- !
ing around the ends for good gains.
Ten minutes of the first half was hard
" over before the Punahous We're on
the H A C.'s two-yard line The ball
was passed back for a buck, but the
pigskin was fumbled, Kanae and Judd
Ieaped for it. Judd was the quicker
and by fairly falling on the ball made |
the first touchdown for his team. The
goal was kicked. Score, to O.
The ball was brought to the center |
of the field and again Kicked off to Pu-
nahou and their end running tactics |
were again put in play. They hammer
ed past the big boys for gain AFTER
gain. EnSue, OF the 6lSH SCHooi, was
put in the game by the H. A C-'s at
this stage and did some fine defensive
playing. He was all over the field max
ing good plays Pat" Gleason was
also playing a great defense After
series of line plays and end runs, Capt.
Hatch carried the ball over the line
for a second touchdown. The goal
was missed. Score. II to 0.
The H. A. C.'s We're now completely
demoraIized and there was but one man
on the team who was successful in
gaining his ground. and that was Ka-
nae. the powerful fullback. He is
great football player and time after
time he dived into the Punahou line
for good gains. Joy tried to punt but
was blocked and the play was not re-
peated the second time. Judd handled
bis kicks well and gained many a yard
sty booting the oval far down the field,
where the fast Purahou ends were
Johnny on the spot" and downed their
man in his tracks. The Punahous kept
up their short. sharp dashes around
the ends and tackles and it was rot
