country by another system of bucks
After only one loss they were within
ten yards of the line, going strong,
and it looked very much like a score
for the school.
James Nearly Scores.
Marcallino called for forward pass
around left end and the school line
broke round for the follow-up James
was the nearests to the ball and he al
most caught it, but the ball dropped.
Like fash Pail was after it and,
before he could be brought to earth
was over the Oahu line
Some of the school supporters
thought it was score, but there is
rule that says the catcher who fun
bles must be the one to recover on a
forward pass; and so the ball was
brought into play and given to the
Punahous.
This was a bitter disappointment TO
the High School, but they kept at it.
However, the near reverse had put
life into the Punahous and they forced
their opponents back beyond the half
way line. There was another ofside
which sent the ball fifteen yards back
towards Oahu, this time, and shortly
the ball ten yards beyond the half
way line in High School territory.
The Second Half.
There were several changes made IN
both lineups after half time. The
High School had quite little the bet
ter of the first half, as the ball was
not in High School land for more than
FIVE minutes of the twenty, and the
Punahous went on with a determine
ton to change the aspect of affairs.
The second half lasted only fifteen
minutes, and for eight of these the
Punahous were threatening. 1t was
about this time that Taylor began to
get in his good work Right-end runs
were the order of signaling on the Pu-
nahou side. and time after time Taylor
got the pigskin tucked under his arm
and circled the end for gains. He
made one gain of fifteen yards, most
of which was covered with three High
School boys freezing onto him and
vainly trying to down him.
The High School took possession
six minutes before time was called,
about twenty yards inside their own
country. Then began a magnificent
series of bucks that seemed as though
they would never fail. Town the field
went their line, apparently invincible.
Each signal had the same meaning,
EsGet the ball in the center and 60
through And they did go through.
First one half back and then the other
would take the ball, and, with a mass
of husky fellow players behind him,
would literally pillow through the Pu-
nahous for gain after gain.
All good things come to an end,
however, and the school lost the ball
five yards from the line and one min
ute before time. Punahou bucked
twice and then called for forward
pass on right end. AS the ball spun
forwards Taylor was running full tilt
and he caught the ball squarely at full |
speed.
Taylor Gets Away.
For a moment it seemed as though |
and the full were opposing him. The /
former he swept to one side and began
to sprint down the sidelines. But !
norton was waiting LOT MN, anu With
a magnificent leg tackle sbrOught him
to earth. Then the whistle blew and |
the game was over without score for !,
either side.
The interference of the Punahous !
was great. The High School s inter
ference was non est. The High |
School s bucking was strong and well |
combined. The Punahou bucking lack |
ed mass. The defense on both sides
was above criticism The forward |
passing was not good on either side.
These salient facts sum up the game
and state plainly why neither side
scored.
The following was the lineup, the
second man in each case being played
