great weight as one man. This Male
team shaped up entirely different from
the team that was formerly defeated
by the Blue and Buff. With quick
changing defense and a ramming ham

rivals line almost at will and had they
been faster in their execution there
would have been a sad story for the
Puns to relate.
Luck was always against the wear

seemed to hover over the Punahou

yesterdays game 1t certainly played
into the hands of Punahou.
Poor goal kicking can be chalked up
to both sides for the loss of the game.
Both Robinson and Joy missed easy
chances to bring victory to their team
by converting the touchdown into a
goal. Again when Sumner booted the
oval between the goal posts from the
25.yafd line the Male team was unfor-
tunate in having one Of their players
transgress the rules by holding an op.

Punahou.
