HIGH SCHOOL
DEFEATS PERRY
SchOOlbOyS Too Quick for the
Sailors, Who Lose Game
by II to 0.

The High School lads were too quick
and well-trained for the boys from the
Perry yesterday afternoon at Punahou
field and beat them in football game
by two goals and one try, seventeen
points to nil.
The sailors were quite a little the
heavier team but the school boys had
the signals and end work down to a
fine point and literally ran all r, und
their opponents.
| Bill Rice scored two of the touch
downs and Kuwamoto, the clever little
Japanese, scored the third one in the
second half. Austin White made his
first appearance in a football game and
did very well at center, kicking the
two goals very neatly and coolly.
The first score was made within two
minutes after the kick off. Bill Rice
took possession and romped down the
field with exceptionally poor interfer-
ence to guard him, but he was so quick
and clever at lodging that the sailors
were unable to tackle him and he went
over the line and placed between the
goal posts.
Austin White converted and the sides
changed end The scholars took posses
sion soon after this and took the ball
well into Perry territory but were un-
able to score. The sailors buckel up
when they at last got the ball and
went well back towards the school goal
but lost there and the High School once
more had the ball.
From signal for an end run Ku-
wamot6 took the sphere and made a
fine run of forty yards only to be
downed by a clever tackle by Davis.
Then Rice was called on for run and
he lodged round the end, again almost
without interference and romped over.
White again kicked the goal and the
score was 10 to 0 in favor of the home
team.
The first half lasted fifteen minutes
and the second was cut down to ten
owing to the lack Of training of the
sailors. After the kick the Perry team
took possession and then ensued mag
nifcent series of line bucks which seem
ed as though they must surely end in
score for the water dogs
Every signal called for a mass forma-
ton and the husky destroyers made
gain after gain until they were bare
ten yards from the other goal line.
Here they made the big mistake Of the
day. Instead of calling for another line
buck, they tried an end run, Fox
fumbled and school boy fell on the
bali so the sailors lost possession.
Andrews stood we'll back of the line,
/ caught the ball cleverly from the pass
back and punted way up into Perry
land. Then he punted again and Ku-
wamoto caught or bounce and romped
almost with nobody to stop him. White
stayed out the second half so Andrews
took the kick but failed and the score
stood II to 0.
Time was nearly up by this time and
there was no more scoring, although
Davis made a grand run that looked
bad for the school. The Perry team
showed decided signs of class but they
lacked practise and their weight was
not sufficient to overcome the sprightli-
ness of the boys they were playing
against.
The High School team is by no means
in championship form yet. Rice, An
drews, Chillingworth and KuwamotO
all played a good game, but the team
was ragged to say the least. The in
reference was so bad that one might
almost say there was none. Before
the boys line up against Punahou they
will have to get together and shake
into team work.
The High School passing was good,
and there was little fumbling. They
tried no forward passing at all, 80
their capabilities in this direction were
not shown.
a match is being arranged between
the Oahu College team and one from
the Colorado, to take place probably
next wednesday Inc uHauou Joy
lined the field and rooted for the sail
ors. but their encouragement was Of
no avail and the lighter team won all
the way.
