The Oahu College football eleven has
wrested the series championship from
the Kamehameha Schools team after
three exceedingly hard-fought and in
teresting games. Before yesterdays
game each team had a win to its
credit. AS a result of the third en-
counter the blue and gold banner will
wave triumphant over the Kameha-
n,eha blue and white until the season
for football comes round again.
There will of course always be a
question as to which team really holds
the junior championship, for st. Louis
College and the High School elected to
iiock by themselves this season. On
yesterdays showing, however, Oahu
College stands superior to any of the
other junior elevens.
The game yesterday was an excep-
tionally good one and was replete with
interest and sensational plays through
out. Up to the last five minutes the
issue was in doubt, first one side hav-
ing the lead in points and then the
other.
Oahu College played a snappy and
much improved game from the start
and until the very end of the first half
contestants. The call of half time I'M
doubtedly robbed the Kams of a touch
down.
In the second period the scoring was
opened by Puma ou registering a sue
cessful place kick. Then the Rams scored
a touchdown and were successful in
converting it into a. goal, making the
score read Kams, 6; Oahu College, 4.
With the game looking as good as
won by the Hams, the Oahus played
up marvellously and a couple of sue
cessful end runs took the ball to the
enemy's five-yard line, where it was
squeezed over for five points A sue
cessful kick switched the figures round
to read: Oahu, 10; Kams, 6. The last
touchdown was made in the last few
minutes of play.
The game was clean one throughout
and the officials gave all round satisfac-
ton. Playing was of an exceptionally
fast nature but the men were in eX-
cellent condition and stood the strain
remarkably well.
The juniors have now done with foot
ball for this year, with the exception
of few stellar performers who may
be acquired by either the Punahou Ath-
letic Club or the Male Ilimas.
The field yesterday was in splendid
shape, the recent rain having greened
the enclosure agreeably. An occasion
al whitening of the lines would facili-
tate the work of the officials consider
ably, however.
Considering that the game was play
ed on Monday the crowd was large
one The Kamehameha delegation was
much in evidence, as was bevy of
Oahu College girls who ornamented the
bleachers and cheered their favoriteS
on with a series of ditties and Shriekss,
which earned for the fair utterers the
name of 1.-The screech owl chorus"
The Kams seemd to be the favorites
on the field. People argued that their
superior beef would W ear down their
lighter opponents and win the game
for them, unless the Punahous made
good with trick plays.
THE GAME.
The Oahus kicked off from the ma
kai end and the ball was brought back
to the Kams' 25-yardi line. After suf-
fering a five-yard penalty for being
off-side. the Rams kicked and the ball
was returned to the center of the field
and then Pa scooted round the left end
with the ball, which was downed on
the Kams' 30-yardt line.
Pa circled the end for five yards and
a buck netted couple more yards.
The ball went to the Rams on fun
BILE and a series of line BUCKS resulted
in no appreciable gain being made.
The Hams kicked to the center of
the field and several give and take
