the High School their contention TO
keep postgraduates II athletics was
not well founded. as has since been
shown bg-. Rex Hitchcock ard Billy
Hogs going to Harvard this year upon

admission into the big university.
Bucked Same Bunch
Before these eligibility rules were
adopted we had TO 60 up against the
same bunch Of Pung for SIX and seven
years. When some Of them did 60
away they didn I stay and besides that
they rang IN the rankest kind Of out
sIders. Three years ago Johnnie VIII
liams, who was a ST. Louis student,
suddenly appeared at Punahou N the
spring OF the year. He received a
scholarship. The Hams had a strong
baseball team that year and would
have won the pennant If Williams
hadn I helped the Puns out. He was
ridden around in automobiles and treat
ed royally until be made failure a.
football the following fall and then he
was pau.
Three wears ago Joe Pa came 10 the
Puns rescue n the field and track
meet. Pa was an old Kan man, but
he had finished school and gone TO the
Coast. He came down on a sailing yes
sci and arrived too late for some Of the
sports. bur the Puns rung him N for
the field and track meet and he broke
the record IN the hurdles. Il 0idn {
count. however, because he kicked off
the last hurdle. As soon as these sports
were over Pa beat il back TO the Coast.
Lota, who PLAYED fullback on the Puma
hou football team last year. pitched a
fine game on the kamehameha alumni
baseball team q few years ago against
the Diamond Heads in the big league.
He worked for the gas company and
studied bookkeeping IN Punahou.
- In 1909 kahibaum, who was then tax
collector on Kauai. came back 70 his
old school 10 help them win out IN the
field and track meet. He won the shot
put. came second in the high jump, and
captured al least nine points. He ap-
peared about three weeks before the
meet and left right after. Monk Dodge.
former Punahou athlete, returned TO
ms stamping ground after spending
three years over on Kauai. Alan low
rev took a twovear postgraduate course
and PLAYED on the Oahu College baseball
team SIX wears. leaving to go to Har-
ward in 1909. Jack pesha took two
wear postgraduate course. Charlie
LYMAN took a commercial course al
Punahou for while. and then he
changed his mind and prepared for col
lege. When we drafted the eligibility
rules last year and sent them mp to
Punahou for approval. the rule we in
corporated required that student must
be up in three regular studies, exclusive
OF English. and the Puns themselves
raised ii TO four Then when Akina
was made captain of the football team
we went up to Oahu College to inquire
if he was eligible under the rules.
Asked what four studies he was taking,
the Puns replied with considerable hest
tation that Akina was studying type
writing. shorthand, English and fresh
man history.
Last wear il happened that Oahu
College had good bunch Of athletes
who were bona fde students Of the
