Is Every Player Made Good.
One feature Of the game was that
every single player made good. Cap
tains and coaches will easily find
minor criticisms Of taekling too high,
not passing quickly enough and not
interfering, but from a general stand.
point, the playing of everybody was
well up to standard.
There was a large crowd present to
watch the game. Both side lines were
rows four and FIVE deep. But the pc.
Icing again was excellent and there
was no eneroaching on the field of
play.
The First Half.
Punahou kicked off KawamOto
made a poor catch, dropped the ball,
and Punah0u took possession of the
twenty-fve-yard line. Punahou then
took a kick and Rice caught on the
run. He looked as though he would
get away. but was forced out of play.
High School had the ball on the con-
sequent lineup and tried for an end
run but King fumbled and there would
have been a disaster if Rice had not
picked up and forged through center, |
this with such force that he made eight
yards High School then signalIed for
a kick but White threw too high and
Andrews had to reach for it. The kick
went no more than twenty yards where
Lota was downed.
Punahou kept the ball for three tries
but failed and then the school took pos
session. Twice in succession the ball |
was given to Richard and each time he |
made splendid gains clear through the |
center and the High School rooters went |
up in the air. But the gains were not |
enough and again Punahou took the |
ball. Richard again distinguished him |
self by breaking through center and |
downing Lyman before he could get |
started. actually bearing him back and |
recording a loss of five yards for Pu- |
nahou.

by Punahou which took them nearer
and nearer to the school goal line. A
touchdown seemed sure but an offside
play gave the ball to the school two
yards from the line. Rice stood well
back for the only possible play, kick,
and the Punahou catcher was downed
twenty-five yards from the line. Puma
hons took the bah and Fraser bucked
four yards but the last try was ineffee-
tive and again the school took posses
sion close to their own line.
Rice kicked forty yards this time and
Punahou gained ten yards on quar-
terback kick, retaining possession
Then the college made two gains by
bucks and again they were right on top
of the line. Fraser made four yard
gain, Lyman made a right end run for
five yards and then Lota took the ball
and literally bored through the school
players and dropped over the line for
the first touchdown after fourteen min
utes of play, Lyman took the kick and
neatly so the score stood
to 0 Punahou.
High School Bucks UP.
About this time the High School be-
gan to buck up. Rice ran fifteen yards
after the catch before he was downed
and then made another five yards on
an end run. But there were still five
yards to go and Andrews kicked to l
Fraser who was downed in his tracks s
by Henry Chillingworth before he had /
run two yards.
