CHAMPIONSHIP
WON BY 0, c,
THE SECOND GAME OF FOOTBALL
GOES TO THE PUNAHOU BOYS
AFTER HARD GAME.


Hawaii for the season of 1906 has been
won. 1t was won after two good gamei
of ball and by the best team, that of
oahu College.
1t was on last Saturday that the de-
Gliding game was played and the
Oahuans won by a decisive score of IL
to 0. The first game of the series was
won also by the Oahuans, their APP
ponents being the eleven from the Ka-
mehameha schools.
The Kamehameha boys are game
losers. They played hard and as well
as they knew, They played an indi-
vidual game and that awaited them
nothing against the superior team work
of the Oahu boys. The Oahu team
showed very plainly the effects of long
and hard training and coaching. Coach
Reed is to be complimented on the
showing that his bunch of players
made.
The individual work of the Kan boys
was splendid. Their game was re-
plete with spectacular plays by their
men but some how they did not hold
together. Lota and Kaapana repeatedly
broke through the Punahou line but
while it showed the stuff that they had
in them it failed to gain much for the
Kams The day of the individual in
football is past. 1t must now be either
teamwork or defeat
Saturday was a bad day for ball and
the two teams did surprisingly good
work considering the condition that the
field was in. The afternoon weather
was splendid for football but the heavy
rains of the morning left the field in
very poor condition. Time and time
again the men slipped on either side
and fell where ordinarily they would
have made three or four more yards
at the least However both teams
We're equal in slipping and that had no
difference in the outcome of the game.
Shortly after three o'clock the crowds
began to gather at the field and by
the time had arrived for the game to
commence both sides of the field were
crowded with spectators. There were
of course all of the young folk of the
two colleges as well as students from
other institutions of the city And then
here and there were men who rank
foremost in the life of the city. Bust
ness men, many of whom with iron
gray hair, but still not too old to en-
joy the great American game.
The spectators presented masses of
color bright and in accordance with
the traditions of the game. And the
old yells and songs We're there to pro-
fusion.
The PunahOu warriors appeared first.
They were greeted with a mighty shout
by the Oahu contingent as they lined
up and went through some preliminary
work. Soon after the Kamehameha
boys trotted out and were given a
great send off.
There was a flaw in the machine-like
precision of the Oahu men and that
flaw was soon detected to be at right
half back where Cooper replaced Low
rey. Cooper was not to blame for he
had not had any practice at that posi-
ton for it was only during the morn
ing that Lowrey, granted to be the
best player in the Oahu squad was
told by the doctors that he could not
play on account of his physical con-
dition. So Lowrey stayed out and
Cooper was put in his place. Had
Lowrey gone in and played his usual |
steady, heady game the score would |
probably have been larger.
Punahou kicked off and soon obtained |
the ball. Then by a series of forward |
passes she sent Lyman over the line
for the first touch down. McDougau
had just wee bit too much mud on
his shoes and the ball missed the up |
rights. Punahou had obtained her |
first points.
Kan then kicked off and the ball !
was well run in by Lyman. Here |
Cooper was given the ball but he did !
not seem to be able to go into the line |
and he lost ground. Punahou's line |
seemed weak at this stage of the game |
Lota and Kaapana getting through |
Punahou was penalized |
several times for off side plays her
men being a bit too eager to get
through. Campbell played a much bet
ter game for Rams than he did on the
second team. The first half came to a
close with the ball on Kams 50 yard
line.
The second half was played back
