! THE PUNAH0Us
First Game of lntersch0lastic
i Football Played at
PunahOu.

! Oulp:ayed from START 70 AhLSh' Xix
iPunahou II lost the first game of the
linterscholastic 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 a deci-
sion made by Referee Lowrey, a 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 prettiesJ 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, a thing to
: be wondered at as both teams We're on
go field before time was called.
a. Neither of the teams were in full
uniform, though the Punahous had the
nearest approach to it. The Highs We're
content 70 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
walkover for the Puns and who had
lchanged their tune when Rice made
his spectacular play, again nodded
aneir heads and said it was all up. 1t
lid look like it for a while as the
Highs, tired out from their strenuous
.efforts in oucking through the heavy
Punahou line, were visibly weaker.
The Puns cut through their opponents
lI.& liAe a sharp knife through but
ter.
1t 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 we'll be overlooked.
