GREEN AND GOLD
BLUE AND BUFF

The 1904 Male team, which viii
struggle today with the Punahou team
is the finest one that has represented
the green and gold for many a year
There has never been a game between
these two teams harder fought than
this promises to be.
The Male team trained to the hour
1 expect to pull out victory, but they
all feel the score will be so close that
the result will be in doubt until the
referees whistle sounds the close of
the second half.
Never have the Males sent a team
on the field in such perfect condition.
There Is not a bruised muscle or a
strained ligament, nor a weak ankle.
If condition is to play an important
part in today's game the Males should
stand a fine chance.
WILL PLAY FAST GAME
The Males will rely on straight, fast
football to win the victory. expecting
the heavy back formations to make the
most gains. On their heavy playing
rests the hope of victory. Then. too,
there are nine veterans on the Male
team, and these men should prove
tower of strength. There are very few
positions filed by new men. The two
ends. Modlin and Freeth, are new to
Of
many old players III this team lessons
the chance of being fooled by trick
plays and being scored on during the
confnsion With the exception of
center, Males line is equal to that of
the Punahou. Chiffon and Ellis are
both aggressive guards.
TACKLES WORKING WE'LL.
Jarrett and Coulter tackles, should
outplay their Punahou opponents, as
both are nearly perfect on defense and
are both good ground gamers when
carrying tie ball
Captain Ben Clark is probably the
best quarter on the coast. He has had
four years experience, but best Of all 5
he has a wonderful faculty of running
a team.
BENSON'S TIRELESS EFFORTS.
The greatest help of all is Percy
Benson. Males tireless coach. WORK
ing with ceaseless energy, Benson has
made a strong team out of fair mate

have no hope, but his successful eff
forts have brought forth a well round
ed. aggressive team, one that has an
even chance TO win
PUNAHOU CONFIDENT.
The Punahou team has not lost
game for years and they claim that
today will be no exception to the rule
Fuller and Walker, the coaches. have
taught the men team work, and in the
art of installing ability to move as
machine walker is conceded to be
past master. His work has been to-
ward that end and the results have
vastly pleased him. Each man has
had il drilled into him that victory
will be his if all work together, each
for the team and the team for each
man. The polishing-off process mas
been well done and each man on the
eleven that will sally out on the new
field at the Baseball Park this after
noon will be fit. There will be no talk
at Punahou about men being out OF
condition.
Captain Hatch rates his men as SIX
points better than the Males. Hatch
does not talk much. His words count
for good deal when he does give !
them out.
PUNAHoU's BACK FIELD.
The men in the Punahou back field !
should prove more consistent ground ,
gamers than the Males backs. Judd,
at quarter. is a heavy man and under
stands the game perfectly. He is fast |
and encourages the team. SpilValo, ,
johnson. De Hart, Dickson and Pa are
all fast men when running with the
ball and are great line-buckers. cap
tain Hatch of the Punahou team mas
had MUCH football experience at the J
of California. He Is strong
defensive player and understands the q
game perfectly He will make an ideal
man to run the team
The Punahou team have some new
pIavs that they promise to spring on
their opponents in today's game ana
some surprises are looked for.
There should be a record-break1ng c
crowd in attendance to enjoy the usual h
day football. The au- t
tomobiles will be there in oody. 9
Society will be on hand bedecked with I
the coIors of their favorites and in all v
