The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-12-05

by a forward pass which caught |
the College of Hawaii mapping, the |
final match of the series between the
college of Oahu and Hawaii was won
on Saturday afternoon, the Punahous
completely hood winking the Hawaiis
and scoring touchdown. 1t was a
spectacular ending TO a very stubborn
game. a game in which the Hawaiis
had Just as much of the play as had
the Punahous, if, indeed, the Hawaiis
had not just little better of the con
test
The game was late in starting, it
being seventeen minutes after four
when the Hawaiis kicked off and it
was Just six o'clock when the final
whistle was blown as the signal to
cease hostilities.
by that time the light had almost
entirely failed; the sun had sunk from
sight below the horizon and the even
ing shadows were deepening and eX-
tending. During the last few minutes
of the game it was difficult to keep
track Of the ball. particularly when
play was close and the ball was pass
cd from hand to hand in the ruck.
The game was worthy the name of
football During the whole of the
time that the men were on the field
they we're fighting hard, attacking
one moment. defending the next, the
only let-ups being when injuries to
the players necessitated a cessation
of play. or when the rules had to be
referred to for the purpose of decld-
ing a l,notty point or two. Several
times during the games it was neces-
sary for the referee, Glen. Akina. to
consult the book, but in view of the
many changes which have been intro
duced this season this is not to be
marvelled at.
The attendance was not large, but
il was enthusiastic. The supporters
of the Oahu College were ranged on
the mauka side, under the baton OF
Fanny" Games, and before and dur
ing the game they made the echoes
reyerberate with their calls. TO the
Eva side of them were the young
ladies roofing for the Punahous, while
on the opposite side of the field the
College of Hawaii adherents Justify
answered the challenges of the Puma
hous and urged the green CARRIED de-
tenders of Hawaii on to further effort.
The game was full of incidents.
Varying success favored first one side
and then the other, until the Puma
hous clinched victory by springing a
forward pass on the Hawaiis and
scoring a touchdown.
The game was characterized chiefly
by the number of kicks made, and
by the inability of the Punahous in
the earlier stages to hold the Hawaiis
later on the tables were reversed and
it was the Hawaiis who were called
| upon to eXpend their energies in re-
polling the aggressive attacks of the
Punahous The Punahous were fight
! ing as hard at the finish as they were
when the game started, while the
! Hawaiis had weakened considerably
| and had lost the combination which
had signalized their play in the open
ing quarter. The Punahous lasted
the better; the extra weight stood
them in good stead and in the final
stages of the game they were able
to force the Hawaiis back whereas
in the initial stages the Hawaiis had
the better of the exchanges.
There was practically no wind wher
! the game was set in motion by Birds
eye who kicked off from the Eva
end of the field for the College of Ha-
wall, and generally conditions were
ideal, except that the light failed to
wards the end, But the game was SC
protracted owing to stoppages anC
started so late that this was to be eX-
pected. Almost Immediately after the
commencement the Puns were pena.
