sideiines, the Punahou and Mckinley
High School elevens battled for the
| first game of the season Saturday
afternoon at Alexander Field which re-
suited in the Puns, running up score
of twenty.eight points TO their OPP
ponents nothing.
1t was a good game froE start to
finish, despite the arguments that took
place and the bad weather, and al
though the score would give one the
impression that the Puns had every
their their own way, this was not the
fact. as they found that they were up
against worthy opponents in every
stage of the game. In the first quar-
ter the Highs continually had the ball
in Punahou's territory and several
times they nearly scored, but were un-
able to break through the Puns line

the goal posts.
Every man in the Punahou team
was a star all by himself. Goney,
Liu, the Baldwin poys, Renton and
Schuman deserving special mention
for their tackling and ground gaining.
Stafford Austin, who kicked the four
goals, also comes In for his share on
account OF his good Judgment in boot

standard. The line seemed to be nc

for necessary five or seven yard
gain. With a little Improvement in.
