Willis Britt is dead. Not a very
great loss, SO many Will say, but yet
a keen loss to the sporting world in
many ways. He was always open heart
ed and ready to help a friend, keen in
business and never unfair. He had to
do with the other half of the world
that most people know little about, the
under half. But he was bright all the
time, even when suffering from the
pains of the lung disease, mich finally
carried him off by a violen, hemorrhage,
yesterday in San Francisco
Willis was the brother Of the fam
Gus Jimmie Britt, at. one time light
weight champion of the world, who Wis
tied these Islands with a baseball team
some eighteen months ago. He was
manager for Stanley Ketchel and a
power in politics in San Francisco At
one time he was in the ring himself
and made a good showing but found
1t better to me a manager. The rosy
path was always the easiest one for him
and he travelled it consistently. A great
American character, and one possible in
no other country, has gone to his last
account

LAST NIGHTS PRELIMINARIES

The first preliminary was class Of no
mean order. Limey Richards and Jim
Coyle, even weight, even height, e> en-
reach and even determination, hammer
ed each othr mereilessly and not I'M
clverly for four rounds. 1t was a
crackerjack go and was properly called
a draw by Refeeee Jack Scully. Jack
wore an Irish green tie and smile most
of the time. Everybody was ioshing
him, but he made much better referee
than some that could be named. Even
though he did look nervous when he
had to part the contestants
The second preliminary was between
Kid Terry and Kid Franklin. The lat.
ter far outelassed Terry as boxer but
he was pitifully out of condition. For
several months he has been living on
beer that anybody would buy him and
free lunch counters. He looked as
though he had not had a square meal
for years.
Terry was rugged and fit as a fiddle.
He waded into Franklin and soon had
him going. In the third round poor old
Franklin went down and out He got
one on the jaw that closed the gap
between his cerebrum and cerebellum
and faded away into the land of dreams.
Terry was excited and made threaten
ing gestures with his foot. This did not
please the crowd, but the Kid was
SORRY the minute afterwards and made
a point of apologizing to Franklin. His
offense, while nspOrtsmanlihe. may
well be put down to the natural ex-
citement of the moment The Kid is
not naturally that kind
The house was well filed and the
canvas covering effecluaIly kept out
the rain and the view of the rubber
necks. The free gallery on the new
theater was out Of business, and the
fence top was screened from the stage
by overlapping canvas The rubber
necks We're very. very sore. but they
had to see the scrap and so ponied up
their four-bits like little men.
There were many prominent people
present. The bar Of both varieties
was well represented. as also the other
professions. Monty Montgomery came
in late and had 10 wedge himself in
between the knees, Of several front-row
spectators and the edge of the ring.
Mike Patton was an excellent referee.
the crowd was large. the bouts were Of
the very best, and it was one of the
pleasantest and best managed fstic
events that has been produced here.

This afternoon will bring forth the
first appearance of those terrible heavy

age some two tons apiece, more or less,
and have been training vigorously for
several weeks. Against them is a team
picked up from round-town with by no
means all the best players in it.
But the Townies are not scared of
weight and huskiness. They have some
thing of both kinds themselves and they
also have keen determination to beat
the Marines. There will certainly be
one grand game and well-worth going
to see.
The lineups will be about like this:

Jones Talks to Them.

During the interval Austin Jones. an
expert in the game, talked to the col
lege team. 1t was a great talk and
gives some idea of that scorehing de-
livery that is always attributed to
coaches by the magazine writers. 1t
was sweet and pure United States talk
with no bones being made. Only the
ancestors of the twelfth generation
back of each player were left out of it.
This bucked the college team up con-
siderably, as good talking to at half
time always does buck up team. Mr.
Jones gave them some rafting good adj
vice and they went in to carry it out.
College Bucks Up.
1t looked very much as though Mr.
Jones "With your extra weight you
can easily score twenty points on these
kids, If you play together and mind
your signals' was going to take effect,
But the Punahou boys were too well
practised to allow anything of that sort
Clark took the ball from the kickoff
and reached the thirty-yard line before
he was downed. The college tried for
ward pass but it was fumbled and thew
were set back five yards. Then they
tried another forward pass which went
pro bono publico and Blue Jay got it
for twenty-fve-yard gain But the
next attempt was tumble and the col
lege was again set back for FIVE after
the most brilliant playing they showed
during the game.
Punahou then began to bore in for
a series of straight gains and Mckenzie
scored the last touchdown through

It was onesided but keen football
that was played at Alexander field be
tween the Punahou and College of Ha-
waii teams The Punahou team had
the better of it at all stages of the
game and it was merely flashes of bril-
liant play by the college and various
penalties for overeag erness by the
Punahous. that enabled the former to
ever get near the PHnahou line.
The PGnahou team was a team IN
every sense Of the word and its inter
ference was great The college players
were keen and plucky and some of them
showed great head work, but as a team
they were ragged and failed to take
advantage of their greater weight.
Blue Jay Fraser, Clark and Che Bui
all did themselves proud but, when any
one of them happened to get away,
they were not well backed up and were
nearly always downed after they had
made a few yards
Mckenzie was the star for Punahou
OF the twenty-three points scored he
was directly responsible for eighteen of
them. He crossed the college line three
times and kicked three goals. He was in
wonderful condition and showed re
markable speed all the way through
the game.
Will Desba, at quarter back for the
Punahous was remarkably brilliant,
runs were made by him and he more
than upheld his reputation as a fast
and heady player.
hn IS,n ba,, ~ Jotf h
a great straight buck for the second
score. 1t was so strong and true that
some of the spectators thought it was
a hurdle. Norton was not hurdled but
was literally forced through the college
line until he fell over the line and
scored.
Penalties for Punahou.
Punahou kicked off and downed the
college back before he had made many
yards. For the next five minutes moth
ing could be told about the Punahou
possibilities as they were penaized five
times in succession for off-side. This |
kept on for so long that the college |
team was well within the Punahou terri |
tory when Akina made a skin tackle |
run that cleared the line from danger. |
Following this play, with a series of |
puHtS ana skin tackle plays, Cne runs |!
began to forge up the field. With first |
down and Punahou ball called fifteen |
yards in front of the college goal, Nc
Kenzie took the ball for left-end run |
and romped over the line with perfect !
interference to prevent his being tackled. |
He failed to convert his own touch |
down and the score was to in favor |
OF Punahou.
Norton Scores Second.
After the kickoff, Punahou threaten !
ed again. The college side could not |
hold the ball very long and, while they !
made a courageous defense, the Puns
seemed to make it every time and the |
cry of ''First down, Punahou BALI |
was heard far too often for the peace |
of mind of the college supporters.
Finally Akina got the ball from
tumble bang in front of the college |
goal aud then it was that Norton buck
ed straight through to the second score. |
Mckenzie kicked a neat goal and the |
score was IL to 0.

A Series of Cross Bucks.

Then followed a series of cross bucks
and skin tackle plays with an occasional
end run, just for luck and Punahou made
gain after gain. Twenty-Five yards away
from the college goal, Mckenzie was
signaled to an end run. His inter
ference was magnificent and, after wrig-
Cling past Che Bui, who nearly tackled
him, Mckenzie rOmped over and placed
the ball exactly between the goal posts.
He kicked the goal himself and made
the score II to O.
The kickoff was mizzled twice by the
leather going outside the lines and the
kick was given to the college. There
was some punting after this and a good
forward pass by Blue Jay to De Bret
teville. Half time was whistled with
the latter having just made good gain
from the pass.
