GOOD BALI.
IS PLAYED
Highs and Y. WIS Will
Play Off Basket
ball Tie.

The Y. VS.. and the Highs took a
step to the front yesterday in the bas-
ketball championship race. These two
teams qualify for the finals and will
fight it out at a future date. When
they meet there is sure to be a fiercely
contested game.
Yesterdays games were full Of snap
and the girls went into some lively
mix ups. At times the game resembled
a football match, girls in their eager
ness Riling Hp in heaps The last
game, between the Y. WIS. and the
Punahous proved so exciting that a
great many of the fair spectators for
got their chairs and those behind
them-they thought the proper place
was on their toes. The applause when
either team scored was very enthu-
siastic.
In the frst game the Normals as
was expected, were out-classed and the
High Schools came on the field in the
second half and played SO fast that
the young school mans had a hard
time trying to find the ball.
NORMALS VS.. HIGH SCHOOL.
For the first half of this game the
Normals led and out-played the nim-
BILE girls in black and gold. The Nor
mails again showed that they are of
the improving kind and if the series
was of longer duration they would still
have a chance.
When the whistle blew calling time
at the end of the first half the score |
stood 6-5 in favor of the Normals. AS
soon as they came together for the |
second period the Highs, encouraged |
by the shouts of their fellow students, |
went at the young school teachers as /
if they would sweep them off the court. !
The bali flew around so fast that the |
Norma1s gave up all hope and were
unable to score a single point in this |
half. When time was finally called the
Highs counted 16, the Normals 6.
The lineup was as follows:
High School-H. Smith, Crewes, for
wards; Robertson, E. Smith, centers;
Akau, Stone, guards.
Normals-Akea, Akau, forwards;
Jones, Saffries, centers; Kawainui,
Peplowski, guards.
PUNAHOU VS.. Y. w. C. A.
This was the real game of the day
and the interest of the crowd was
sentered in it's outcome. Both teams
together with the High School were
tied for first place and this game was
to decide who should play the Highs
for the championship.
The game was of the exciting vari-
ETY. with the score first in favor of one
and then the other. There is no doubt
that the better team won and that the
Y. WIS. can certainly handle the pig
skin Miss Schaefer did much toward .
gaining a victory for her team. She
threw some hard goals and received :
much applause for her brilliant work.
Due credit must be given her team
mates for the way in which they kept
the sphere in the Punahou territory.
Miss Dowsett played a clever guard
and with Violet Makee in the center
they proved very strong cohDlla-
ton.
Miss Taylor and Miss Roth also play
ed we'll together and scored often for
their team. The game ended with the
close score of 1915. {
They faced each other as follows s
Punahou-Taylor. Roth. forwards; {
Damon, Fisher, centers; Goodale, Wal {
Ter. guards
Y. w. c. A.-Schaefer, Crews, for )

n action every second.
