OAHU COLLEGE
DEFEATS RAMS

Yesterday afternoon on the Punahou
grounds Oahu College retrieved her de-
feat of the ninth instant by defeating
the Kamehamehas by score OF 20
O. The game brought out large pro-
portion of the students of both col
leges, male and female, and number
of townspeople also managed to make
it point to be there. Yesterday Ca
hu College eleven had all the best or
the scoring, and most of the best OF
the playing as well. The Rams play
| ed snappy ball. and exhibited their
usual prowess at all points Of the field,
but the Punahou boys had developed
much better team work since the last
game, their back division was particu-
larly strong, and their forwards play
ed with headlong energy that would
not be denied.
| The first half opened promisingly Tor
the Rams. They were kicking down
field with the wind, and many times
they brought the ball down in danger
GUS proximity to the Oahu goal only
to break on the rock wall defense put
UP by the Oahu full backs, Captain
Davis and L. wilmington, or carried by
their own impetuosity and aided by
the wind, the ball would be sent over
the goal line before they could pass 1t
in to the center. A few PUSHES like
this, and the Oahu College boys be-
gan to stiffen up, and carried the ball
to the other end. Until half time the
shuttelcock of events moved up and
i down the field from end to end with
out either side scoring, or gaining any
perceptible advantage.
! The second half started with thu
: Kams again the aggressors, and be

they had secured and kicked two cor

I well, however, and they gained moth
}. ing from them. Indeed. both side
Z need a little practise in this kind q
. place shooting. Then Oahu began i
J. get in her fine work, and the bal
back division of the Kams where
skirmish occurred directly in front g
the Kan goal. The ball edged grad
ually out and up the field, but agai

q he got near the goal, however, an
kicked too quickly. Puaoi kicked
If out, but it came right back. Pua.
ing it out He did the same trick ha
"a minute later, but it wouldn't sta
~ away, and a swift side kick by
Dodge sent it spinning between tt
"A poles.
Then the Rams gritted their tee
and went at it. Time and time aga
they took the ball into Punahou teri
le tory, but the Oahu goal keeper,
u Fraser, was dandy. and he scoops
r the balls out as fast as they came
w The ball got started down the fe
again, and nobody seemed able to ST
al lit. Every Kan who kicked at it seer
n ed to miss, or barely changed its
al rection 1t was fate, and no one w
ae surprised when Lo On kicked in anot
- er goal. The Kams took it right ba
UP the field again in their plucky fas
- ion but heavy kicking brought 1t ba
to the middle of the field. Then the
. was a long pass from center field c
to Lyman, center forward. and he r
1t between the posts for the third a
last goal scored during the game. T.
last was a very pretty piece of pla
ing.
