MALES MEET DEFEAT AT
: THE HANDS OF PUNAHOl)

The mighty have fallen. The victori-
Fous career of the Male lima foot
ballers has received a terrible and I'M
expected check.
Last season the Males swept the
local gridiron of every honor and until
their performance of a year ago. The
Punahous proved their undoing, how
ever; the despised Punahous.
The Males had already met and de-
from Camp Mckinley and they We're
strong favorites for yesterdays game
Were not the Punahous in the league
merely to help out the sport and with
but forlorn hope of annexing a game,
let alone winning the championship?
Did not the Males outweigh them
and, from every appearance, outplay
them as we'll?
The sure-thing brigade received an
awful shock and many a head is busy
today trying to figure out the reasons
for the Males defeat
1t was a grand day for football, as
ever dawns in Hawaii. The crowd was
eminently satisfactory in point of size
and two more such should put the
league management on the best of
terms with themselves.
The Punahou contingent, headed by
nfarcad nv A
large delegation from Camp McKin-
ley, arrayed themselves on the Waikiki
side of the ground. The Male admir-
ers claimed the grandstand side of the
field for their own.
Fayors were very freely worn and
the green and gold ran a neck and
neck race with the buff and blue as
far as popular taste was concerned.
The game was stubbornly contested
and a trif1e slow from a spectators
standpoint, the prevailing tactics
adopted by both sides being of the
close order and comparatively little
kicking being attempted
There were no unpleasant incidents
throughout the game, which was OF
commercially clean nature. Hard
knocks and stiff tumbles there un-
doubtedIy were and so there always
will be as long as football is played.
When properly trained men engage in
the game, knocks and tumbles don't
count.
The score at the finish was. Puma
hous. IL: Males, 6. The figures should
have read, IL to o. The Male touch
down was due to as big piece of luck
as has ever been witnessed on foot
ball field.
Less than two minutes from the start
of the game Piunkett dashed round an
end and before the Punahous seemed
to be aware that the ball was in play,
was speeding from the very center OF
the field to the Punahous' goal-line
which he succeeded in crossing.
successful kick made the score points
in the Males favor.
The Punahous settled down into their
stride very quickly and it was soon

seen that the Males had their work
before them. They closed the first half
with a touchdown to their credit and
growing stronger where their oppon-
ents were rapidly weakening.
In the second half the Punahous put
up a magnificent fight, every man of
the team playing to the last ounce that
was in him. They played the Males at
their own game, ne-bucking, and best
ed them at it. A second touchdown was
scored by sheer bulldog grit and game
ness and when the goal was kicked,
making the score II to in favor of
the p. A. c., the enthusiasm of the
crowd broke forth in loud and sustain
ed applause.
The Males made a desperate effort
to rally, but they were all in as a team
and their line was broken. A few min
utes more of play would have seen a
yet bigger deficit chalked up against
them.
After the Males touchdown there
was really nothing to it, but the Puma
hous. They had all the best of the
play until the final whistle blew.

in the Male lineup and these the Pu-
nahous were not slow to discover and

was pound, pound pound away, unmer-
cifully. Something had to give in the
face of these tactics and something did
give
The Males played as if the team
was stale The big, heavy men seem
ed to be trained too fine. Their snap
had been sacrificed in the conditioning
process. The Punahou were a lighter
team but there was as much vim be-
hind every pound of beef on the team
as intelligent training could squeeze
behind it.
Coach Benson undoubtedly did his
best with the men he has had in hand
but it seems to have been a case of
an eye to weight and if speed and
headwork go with it, so much the bet
ter.
The Punahous showed that their
coaching has been conducted in accord
ance with very recent football ideas
and this was mainly instrumental in
winning the game. Coach Reed. who
played on the eleven got all out of his
men that could be got out. He is as
good as a twelfth man on the side. Par
ticularly effective were his revolving
plays which proved to be great ground
gamers almost every time they were
attempted.
For the winners Kanae at full back
was tower of strength and his ter
rife work was particularly noticeable
in the first half. Mark Robinson at
right end played dashing game and
showed all his old-time form. Ben
Clarke at quarter was there with his
speed and well-known headwork. Ralph
tombstone played a sound game at right
guard, and Fish" Alexander did splen-
did work at right tackle. Chiffon
played center in his old reliable way.
OF the Males, Duisenberg played
grandly at right guard. Buckles work
at center was all that could be desired
Joy played the hardest game of any
member of the team, and F'reeth cap
tanned the team and held down quar-
ter's position right well. Plunkett, as
usual, shone whenever he had chance,
and James did as well as indisposition
permitted him to.
OF the substitutes, Sherwood more

than made good for the Punahous, and
a similar remark applies to Joe Pa.
Interest in the championship struggle
is intensified by the result of yester-
days game. The Males viii make
tremendous efforts to retain the cham
pionship, which they can do by win
ming the final game of the season
against the winners of next Saturdays
contest.
The Punahous, on the other hand,
will make assurance doubly sure by
putting in some special practice licks
from now on and the game next Sat
Trday with the Infantry win keep their
feet in.
The 10th Infantry eleven may be ex-
pected to make a much improved show
ing next Saturday, for the team IS
said to have benefited by the recent adj
dition to the garrison at Camp Nc
Kinley.

THE GAME.
First Half.
The Males came out first and were
applauded Several minutes later the
Punahous appeared.
Joy kicked off for the Males from the
makai end, Charge running back with
the ball to the 20-yard line.
A kick placed the ball in the center
of the field. Plunkett doing some nice
retrieving work.
Plunkett rounded right end and ran
the length of half the field without a
hand being laid on him. The Puma
hous were very evidently caught nap
ping and the unexpected touchdown
taught them a lesson which they did
not again forget. Plunkett received
excellent assistance from Freeth who
not only pushed his man through, but
held him up until the goal-line was
safely crossed.
Joy kicked goal and the score was:

Reed flew round right end to the IS
yard line, carrying the ball far enough,
but in a resultless direction. to score
touchdown, ordinarily
1t looked like a touchdown for the
Puns. Seven and then four yards div
ided the ball from the fateful line.
Would the Males hold their adverse
ries? They held and in the very nick
of time the Males secured the ball
and Joy succeeded in clearing after
a very close shave of being scored
against.
Clarke brought the ball back to the
Males 25yard line. There We're six
minutes of the half left to play.
Punahou bucked five yards nearer a
touchdown, the Male line being hit
hard on the left side where it was
weakest.
! Nothing could stop the Puns. They
forced yard by yard until the goal
line was reached and Kanae was sent
over for the required five points, with
two and three-uuarter minutes of the
half unexpired.
Robinson took the kick amid breath
less silence The ball went a few
inches to the left of the goal-post and
the Male supporters drew a long
breath. Score.
MALES, 6: PUNAHOUS, 5.
The kick was downed on the Males
20-yard line and Joy returned the COM
pliment, the sphere being deposited on
the Punahous' 35-yard line. Half-time

Plunkett circled left end for fifteen
yards.

first time by the Males. Melted five

the ball and. packing a bunch of men
with him, reached the center of the
field.
Punahou secured the ball on Plum
kett fumDle.
The Males seemed to be getting &C
ton on themselves and their stock just
about now took an upward shoot.
Joy bucked the line for ten yards and
then James tore off a piece of terri
tory the Punahou line being borne
steadily back. Several Punahou men
wore signals of distress. while SO far

out on his account.
The ball went to the Puns on their
40-yard line
Sherwood gained fifteen yards and
would have scored had he not been
tackled by Joy just as he was leaving
his Dursuers behind.
Reed followed up Sherwood's good
work by skirting the left end for ten
yards, Immediately adding another five
yards to the ground gained.
Pa went through the line for few
more yards and then the whole eleven
seemed to take turns at galloping over
the doomed Males. The Males weak
ness now seemed to lie between left
guard and tackle.
Little by little the Males goal-line
was approached and after a fierce at
tack and a stubborn defence. Sherwood
did the trick from two yards, amid in
tense excitement.
Robinson took the kick and he made

The part which a cavalry horse
takes in battle can never be filled by
any machine. no matter what its capa-
bilities. The horse seems, in the hour
of battle at least, to take on character
istics which belong only to being
endowed with reason. He partakes of
the hopes and fears of the conflict, the
same as his rider If he has been six
months in the service he knows every

AS he moves out he will either try to
get on faster or bolt. The lines will
carry him forward, and after min

can feel his sudden resolve to brave
the worst and have done with it as
soon as possible.
