.OUTPLAY kAMS
At ALL POINTS
Puns Defeat Their Opponents
in Football by Score
of ITO.

Punahou college defeated the Kane
hameha Schools at football on the coll
lege grounds yesterday afternoon by
than was seen ter days ago. The
Kams were outplayed at almost every
point but would have made much
better showing had they been able to
hold the kicks of their opponents. On
only one or two instances, and these
in the second half, did the Rams have
the ball in their enemy's territory, and
then they lost it through fumlbles and
were once more driven back to defen-
sive work.
The game was more satisfactory in
regard to officials than the previous
one, though there was still room for
Improvement. The Kan supporters
claimed they got the worst of the de-
cisions. but in any event they stood
no chance of winning the game and
from the standpoint of an outsider the
decisions were, in the main, fair The
Rabbit, was certainly justified. Pa,
the captain of the Puns, had been
tackled and thrown when the Kams
right guard rushed up and threw him
self on Pa, driving both fists in the
formers face. 1t was a palpable foul,
and ruling out of the game was GER
tainly deserved.
The sensation of the game came at
the end. Lyman kicked just before the
whistle blew and Mckenzie, who had
been playing the star game for the
Kams, fumbled, allowing Townsend to
carry the ball over for a touchdown.
The Kams protested, as they said the
whistle had blown before the touch
down had been made. 1t had, indeed,
but long after the play had been start
ed, and anyone at all familiar with
the rules of football would know that
a play once started can be completed.
Lyman was the star for the Puns,
while Mckenzie took the shonors for
the Kams Captain Oliver was very
much off color, fumbling kick after
Kick and allowing the Puns to gain
large amounts of ground in this way.
Townsend put up a fine game, as did
Jack Desha, the former showing up
well in the forward pass, which was
worked to great advantage several
times.
The Puns hammered at a hole be-
tween left guard and tackle and made
most of their gains through these po-
sitions when playing straight, hard
football The Kams seemed to have
the stronger line, but when it came TO
offensive work poor judgment was
ually, where their advantage of weight
counted for little and several times
were thrown back for severe losses.
AT times they seemed to be doing well,
but would then lose the ball on
tumble.
Lyman kicked off for the Puns,
against the wind and the Rams car
ried the ball outside at the % yard
line. They lost twenty yards on a
bad attempt at a forward pass and
were forced back to their u yard line.
The Kams then got the ball again on
a delayed forward pass, which did not
connect, and kicked to Jack Desha at
the center of the field.
Townsend gained fifteen yards on
forward pass and Lyman followed
with a substantial gain on the same
tumble a few moments later. The
