t1Bu SCHOOL U.
One team against an aggregation of
good players who played well but had
not the required teamwork, that is all
there was to the Pun victory over High
School on Alexander field yesterday aft
ernoon-that and Mckenzie.
Eyeryman was far and away the best
player on the Punahou team. He gave
the signals, made several fine runs
through guard and tackle, sent off the
forward passes, received the forward
passes without fumbling, held the line
when the other side had the ball, did
all the best taekling, scored all the
Gouchdowns and kicked all the goals,
in fact played really star game. Yes,
Everyman was "It'' on the field yes
terday for Punahou.
The above conceit, borrowed from
Billydoux and Streteher, or whoever
those ancient and balmy playwrights
were, just about describes the way the
L ubGHou team pldyeu.
1t was only natural that certain play
ers should show up as stars, for it was
they who did the open work and APP
parently made the gains. But, really,
it was the team doing it all the time
Mckenzie played magnificent game,
but he was backed up perfectly by the
rest of the team. When the signal call
ed for Mckenzie to take the leather,
all the other players fitted right into
their respective notches and the play
went off for gain every time.
One Great Play.
There was one piece of individual
play, not in the schedule of any signal,
that was worth going out to see Ne
Kenzie was the man with the headwork
who did it. Akina punted high and
Henry Chillingworth failed in his grab
at the ball. Mckenzie came up at full
speed, caught the ball on the bounce
and romped away from the Mckinley
ties for touchdown. 1t was one of the
prettiest pieces of straight open play
ever seen on football field.
The High School lads played an ex-
eellent individual game but they lacked
the wonderful teamwork that Coach
Reed has instilled into the college play
ers. Short, at right end, was the star
for the losers. He played real foot
ball game. just enough of buffoonery
to be effective and keep the other play.

that kept him going all the time. He

casions when ne was needed and he
used his cerebrum all the time.
Short not only did some excellent
tackling but put through great piece
of work in the second half when he fol-
lowed the ball while the Punahou backs
were fumbling punt from Henry Chill
lingworth. and fell on the leather just
at the right minute to keep the ball for
High School and make the greatest gain.
The latter was some forty yards.
High Tackled High.
The fault with the High School team
seemed to be lack of interference and
taekling too high. Even in the lineups
they did not appear to get as near the
ground as they might and the conse-
guence was that were bowled over
whenever the Puns started a straight
buck.

capture of the ball after punt and a
6ve-yard penalty for offside, the High
team was bang in front of the Punahou
goal. The signal was given for punt
at goal and Henry caught the ball and
punted. 1t scared apparently above the
bar and everybody though that it would
cross for score, but an interfering
gust of wind carried it to one side and
