HIGHS BEAT
THE PUNAHOUS
cFrom saturdays Advertiser.)

(rrOm saturdays AdVertlSer.1
Outplayed from start to finish, the
Punahou II lost the first game of the
interscholastic series to the second
team Of the High School. The game
was fast throughout, and, despite the
fact that neither of the teams are as
yet down to the fine points of the
game, some fine plays were made by
both sides.
The only thing which tended to mar
the enjoyment of the day, was deci-
sion made by Referee Lowrey, deci-
sion which was in no way intended to
show Partially to the Punahous, and
which was modified as soon as enough
proof was shown the referee, thereby
giving the Highs the benefit of one Of
the prettiest runs made in the history
Of interscholastic football, and which
has only been equaled by a run made
last year by Achieu, a High School
back.
AS usual, the game was pulled off
later than scheduled time, thing to
be wondered at as both teams were on
Neither of the teams were in full
uniform, though the Punahous had the
nearest approach to it. The Highs were
content to wear any old thing and
many kinds of sweaters were in evil
dence.
The season was started by a kick
by Rice of the Highs. The Highs have
a particularly light team while the
Puns have one which is nearly double
the weight of their opponents, and
many of the wise ones predicted
humiliating defeat for the wearers OF
the Black and Gold. But the Highs
are speedy and their superior training
at the hands of their coach, who is
Harvard man, stood them in good
stead as the rs score attests.
During the first half, the Highs kept
the ball within their territory and had
the advantage over their opponents.
The spectacular play in this half was
a safety by Rice. Chillingworth for
the Highs tried a goal kick but miss
ed. The ball was caught by Magoon of
the Puns who was Immediately
caught by Rice of the Highs, and
which resulted in giving the Highs the
only two points which were made in
that half
At the beginning of the second half
things again looked dark for the
Highs. Those who had predicted a
walkova for the Puns and who had
changed their tune when Rice made
his spectacular play, again nodded
their heads and said it was all up. 1t
did look like it for a While as the
Highs, tired out from their strenuous
efforts in bucking through the heavy
Punahou line, were visibly weaker.
The Puns cut through their opponents
line ike a sharp knife through but
ter.
It was in this half that the referees
decision was questioned. Punahou
missed the ball, which slipped to the
ground, thus becoming a free ball.
Rice caught it up, and with the speed
of a 50-yard dasher, which he is, he
ran, making a clear field.
"Off Sides" called the referee when
the cheering let up.
Then a storm of protest rose. The !
Highs clamored loudly and things |
looked serious for the referee. Proof
was submitted, but Lowrey refused to
change his decision. Doc" Monsarrat |
took the part of the Highs and show
ed to the satisfaction of the referee,
that the ball belonged to anyone who |
caught it. Rice's run stood. 1t was |
in no case, as some remarked, that |
Lowrey was showing himself to be
partisan. The spectators crowded over
the side lines, thus preventing the
referee seeing what had become of the
ball.
on the whole, the game was interest
ing, and being the first of the series
the various little faults of the players
could very well be overlooked.
