UMPIRES ALSO HAVE LEARNED
RULES AND YESTERDAY SAW
GOOD TIE GAME.

The football game yesterday after
noon between Punahou and the High
School second teams on the Punahou
field was one of the best games that
have been played here, the score at
the end being to 0. The players
showed great improvement over last
game.
Long before three-tnIrty the stu
dents of both schools and their friends
began to arrive, and by the time the
game was started, the field was well
filled. The Punahou admirers chose
the mauka side of the field while the
High School followers held forth on
the makai side.
Punahou won the toss and choose
the Waikiki goal Williams kicked OFT
for Punahou, the ball being caught by
Rice, who advanced it fifteen yards
before he was downed. The High
School team by steady line bucking
and few end runs, advanced the ball
to Punahou's twenty-yard line. The
Puns took a decided brace and shortly
got the Oall on downs. They soon
found out that the High School line
was like a stone wall and Williams
had to kick.
The ball was caught by Andrews
who advanced it to Punahou's thirty
yard line Andrews laid back for a
place-kick, but the ball went wild
Punahou kicked out of danger and for
few minutes it looked as if the EN-
ma street boys would score.
During the entire game when it was
necessary to kick Andrews was ready
and his kicking deserves a good deal
of credit, as it has been seldom that
such kicking has been seen here Rice,
Chillingworth and Andrews played the
star game for the High School, while
Williams was the star for the Puns.
The half ended with the ball in the
High Schools possession in close
proximity to the Punahou goal; in
fact during the entire game the ball
was in Punahou territory, while the
High School goal was never in dan
ger.
The second half started by Andrews
making a good gain on the kick off.
Four times he laid back for try at a
field goal but the wind carried the ball
away from the coveted cross-bar. Each
time he kicked, the ball rolled over
the Punahou goal line, and was kick
ed off again by Williams. The Puma
hous fumbled the ball several times
during the half, where a good gain
might have been made by the Puma
hou backs.
Only once was time taken out dur
ing the entire game, and that was in
the last five minutes of playing when
Capt. Turner of the Highs was tackled
hard and had the wind knocked out
Of him. The two officials, Col. Sam
Johnson and Dick Oliver of the Rams
officated in a way that deserves a lot
of credit. The game went along with
snap and vim which has been sadly
lacking in the other games this year
The rule book which has been so much
in evidence in the other games this
fall was conspicuous in Yesterdays
game by its absence.
The final game between the two
elevens will probably be played next
Wednesday for the championship.
Johnnie Winters, The Boy Wonder
OF the Plains" arrived this morning

ed what he was going to do here, re-
piled: Il am going to win if it is pos
