yesterday!
In the first real football game of the
season the Punahou first team yester-
day defeated the Kamehameha team by
a score of to 0. 1t was a game which
was fought stubbornly and well by both
teams and Punahou may bow before
the shrine of Luck and thank the
chance which gave them their four
points. A place Kick from the field by |
Punahou gave the only score of the |
game.
Long before the gladiators of the |!
gridiron appeared the two lunches of |
rival rooters lined up on opposite sides !
of the field and began their good ma
tured banter and jollyIng of each other
across the field. Both schools We're
sure of victory and neither were at all
backward i'm saying so. Alloy Soong
led the Punahou rooters and when he
was not leading a yell he was squirting
the collegians. on to greater efforts
Kamehameha had her school chorus
out in force and instead of doing the
roofing on her side of the field she
sung her football songs and right sweet
ly they rolled out over the campus.
The Kamehameha eleven appeared
first on the field, and we're greeted with
shout from the Kamehameha con-
tingent which rent the heavens. They
lined up quickly and went through
some snappy signal practice.
Suddenly a small boys shouted Here
comes our team" and then for a mo-
ment the Punahou roOters went through
the same throes of feeling which had
so lately shook the Rams. The Puma
hOu bunch trotted out and did a few
stunts to timber themselves up.
Principal Perly L. Horne Vas on
hand to look out for the interests Of his
boys and Professor Reed attended to
the Punahou end of the argument.
After a few moments of parleying
the teams lined up and the game was
! on.
Oliver for Kamehameha played the
= star game for his team. He punted
well and he was into every play. He
| did some clever back field work also
| and his 40 yard run was a feature of
the game. Lota at right half for the
| Rams was a tower of strength to his
team Time and tilce again he would
double up the interference and get his
man. He is extremely clever on his
feet.
The Kan ends were weak and it was
here that Punahou made the most
| showing. The halves practically did
two mems work. had Kamehameha
had her four best men, forced to re-
main at Kamehameha, in the game,
Punahou would have been forced to
! al, al,
They will be in the next game and al
ready odds are being laid on their Win
ming.
Lowery made more actualgain for
his team yesterday than any Of the
others He would go into the line and
the Rams did not seem to be able to
stop him at all. His handling of the
place kick which gave Punahou her
score was a feature He was dubbed
that red devil by the Kan backs.
McDougall was there with the goods
Mac is a little slow in running and
appeared more so on account Of Puma
hou trying to work a delayed pass. A
fast man can seldom make it as the
distance is too great to cover. Mac
did his best but he would be caught
every time. In punting for Punahou
Mac did effective work. He seldom
failed to make good distance His
straightarm, which be used on a fake
kick, was timed to the second and as
sisted him materially.
Lyman was another star. His enc
runs were splendidly well made. Their
there was White, Heen Desha anC
