HIGH SCHOOL AND PUNAHOu
SECOND TEAMS PLAY DRAW
CFrom saturdays Advertiser,

so blatant that it would force itself
on the notice of any outsider. That
was the deplorable tendency of the
partisans of either team to impute evil
motives and unsportsmanlike conduct
to the other side. In this respect the
High School rooters were the worst
offenders.
This spirit can not be too severely
deprecated It hurts the game, it
hurts the players, it hurts the i'm
puters themselves, and, above all, it
hurts the Islands. When two teams
get out on the field to play the Anglo
Saxon game of football, they are there
to have jolly good tussle and a trial
of strength and nerve in the open air.
Each side is anxious very anxious, to
win. But the game is one of sport,
not of winning at any cost. Those
who play the game know this and they
act accordingly. The stirring up of
any adverse sentiment or any talk
about nnsportsmanlike work is detest-
able and caddish.
! The minute football begins. to stir
up evil feelings it loses all benef-
cence. The great beauty of the game
is that it teaches players to be sports.
men; to take no mean advantage, to
keep cool when excitement and phys
zeal pain are urging the brain to wild
action-and the man who can keep
cool under these circumstances has
learned lesson that will last him
through life. The part of man OF
boy who stands on the sidelines and
tries to stir up i'll feeling by such re-
marks as were heard yesterday after
noon is the part of one who will never
be sportsman
Recommendations to "Kill them"
are not exactly sportsmanlike, If fair
ly venial on account of excitement.
But imputations that Charlie Lyman,
for instance, would favor his own side
when acting as referee are all the
more wicked for being SO absurdly
false.
Story of the Game.
There was little waiting around be-
fore the two sides lined out on the
field and the spectators were ordered
back of the sidelines, where, under the
excellent policing of the Punahou boys,
they stayed. Henry Chillingworth and
Watson Ballentyne took the tape,
Charlie Lyman the whistle, and Bill

downed. Punahou made couple of
gains and then signaled for a forward
pass, but the ball was fumbled and
