Punahou IL, one touchdown, one goaL
College Of Hawaii, 0.
Even though the College Of Hawaii
was deeisively beaten yesterday after
noon on Alexander field by the Puma
hon team. they showed a great improve
meut over their form of last time. 1t
was really a very close game and
throughout, the college players showed
great individual courage and tackiing
powers, although they lacked the expert
team work of the Punahous.
In certain features of the game the
college team showed really good form.
In the first half they instituted a series
OF left and right skin tackle plays that
took them for gain after gain nearly
the whole length of the field.
But the Punahon team was stronger
in some positions and speedier IN nearly
every position. Perhaps the most effee-
tive work for the winners was done by
Akina. the captain, who broke up the
opposing interference time and time
again.
Akina has a way of getting down low
and butting interference out of the way
two at a time. On many occasions
when Will Desha or Mckenzie got
away, the way was opened for them by
Akina.
This big man was also as effective
in acting as interference as he was in
breaking it up. He is very fast on his
feet and powerful and, once he got
away with a runner carrying the ball
behind him, the pair of them were al
ways good for a long run.
Blue Jay Was There.
Blue jay Fraser, Farmer Clark and
De Bretteville shone brightly for the
losers Clark was responsible for many
Of the gains made and Blues punting
was always cool and well calculated.
De Bretteville, with strangely hued
baseball shirt over his armor, was al
was conspicuous figure and did some
exceptionally clever work.
Unfortunately for the Punahou team,
10th Oscar Hind and Rex Hitchcock
we're unable to appear on account OF
indisposition. For this reason the back
line was a trifle impaired, but the boys
who took their places more than made
good.
1t is an example of what good coach
ing will do to team, when It IS notice
that every one of the backs on the
Punahou team are new men, none OF
them having played for their college
before this year.
Desha's Spectacular Play.
The most spectacular play of the at
ternoon was made by VIII Desha irs tn
second half He tried quarterback
punt but the ball was blocked and wen
frnndling mp the field towards the Pu
nahou goal. Like flash bunch o
college PLAYERS swooped on it. But Viii
was too fast for them. He scooped tn
ball on the run and then, veering from
the direction toward his own goal line
in which he was running. he swerve'
and lodged, gathering interference a
he went and actually brought the bal
back to the same line where he ha'
previously kicked it.
Very Warm Weather.
The weather was uncomfortabl,
warm. It was very trying for the play
ers who must have suffered considerable
from the heat. There were many call
for time out on account for players be
ing out of it, but these were pr0babl
aore due TO an earnest desire to hav
a rest and get some breath, than to an
severe damage. No real injury wa
done during the game and both side
played very clean game.
The roofing by the PuTGahoH girls wa
again a feature of the afternoon. The

and kept the welSin busy with eolleg
songs and some nicely concerted yell
