ing the attempt. He failed, the kick |
lacking strength, and Rice brought the

ed ten yards and the game proceeded.
The Hawais gained possession a few
minutes later but failed i'm their effort
to force their way through, being cir
cumvented at every turn. Mackenzie
made a good run on the right for the
! Puns, but the Puns were forced back
! five yards on the next down, Birdseye
getting through and making a superb
tackle The ball was taken to the
Hawaiis twenty Vineyards line by a
! long kick, but McCandless gained
! eighteen yards on a run, getting round
on the left. Then Rice had a chance
| hut lost the ball. The Puns tried
another forward pass just afterwards
| but the ball went astray and in the
scramble Rice scored but the re-
fierce brought the sphere back Hard
forceful play put the Punahous close
TO the Hawaii goal again, and the
period ended with the college of
Oahu in the ascendant, but no scores
made
TIE final period found both teams
impatient to resume the struggle. So
far matters had been fairly even, but
the manner in which the Punahous
were steadily gaining raised the
hopes of their supporters. Just after
the Hawaiis kicked out, the Punahou
rooters began to chant "Nows the
time to score, boys" and it seemed al
most prophetic, for the Strains had
hardly died away before Ran Hitch
cock was racing towards the Hawaiis
line without an opponent to head him
off The Puns had the ball about
twenty yards from the Hawaii line.
The first and second downs gained
very little, but on the third Desha
passed forward to Hitchcock, who was
well to the right of the field and clear
of all opposition. Hitchcock took the
pass well, and gathering speed with
every stride raced for the line. The
Hawaii players were spell bound and
could do nothing but watch Hitchcock
cross the line, while the Punahou
players and rooters burst into one
long loud cheer.
Hitchcock scored the touchdown
right in the corner and the ball was
punted out to Mackenzie who caught
it right in front of the Hawaii goal.
He made a very poor effort at goal,
but his failure was passed over with
very little comment, in view of the
success which attended the trick play.
The touch down counted five points,
and that was quite enough to win by.
The Punahous returned to the attack
with renewed vigor and harassed their
opponents, who had fallen away con-
siderably, finding the strain too great
1t was still hard fighting, however, but
the Punahous were rejuvenated by
their success and assailed the Hawaiis
necessarily, nipping every effort OF
their opponents in the bud. The game
ended with the ball about mid-field
The spectators who saw the game
all aver that it was a splendid eX
, hibition of football. The Hawaii team
put up a glorious struggle, but to
wards the end the Hawaii player!
were Weakening and could not holC
the heavier Punahous. 1t was some,
thing of a pity that the game SHOULD
have been won by trick play, though
2 that can hardly detract from thu
Punahous' win. Both teams tough
we'll, and to the vanquished, no les
than to the victors, all praise is due
The Punahous played at high pressure
throughout but made several fumble
? which spoilt their general play. TIT
