| a placement in the game between
Kamehameha and Oahu College or
Alexander Field yesterday afternoon
made when but four minutes were
left to play, won the contest for the
former aggregation by a score of
to 0. 1t was the one real feature oil
the game, for the cadets, by series
of stiff line plunges, worked the bal
to their opponents 10-yard line and
failing to gain an inch through the
fast collegians on three downs, sent
Manoha back to boot the leather be-
tween the uprights for the only score
of the game.
The game stamped Kamehameha as
the best school team of the year, for
while Oahu has two victories to Kan s
one, and therefore claims the cham.
pionship, the game yesterday was the
real test, and Oahu's championship
title an empty one.
Perhaps one of the biggest crowds
ever seen on a local gridiron was as
sembled at Punahou yesterday, and
not one unsatisfed spectator left the
grounds. The fact that Kamehameha
won does not give her the champion
ship, for 1t must be remembered that
already Punahou has heated the cad
cts twice. The game was a fitting
closing to an almost perfect season,
and that 1t was the cleanest, most in
teresting contest seen here this year
was the opinion of those who were
present on the side lines. The mem
bers of both elevens, evenly matched,
came onto the field in perfect trim,
and there were very few changes
made in the line-ups during the con-
test. That the game was hard fought
may be seen from the fact that not
once, except in the last few moments
Of play, was the ball near either
teams danger zone Captain Manoha
OF Kanehameha did some excellent
work, and was ably assisted by his
backfeldj although on one or two &C.
casions the interference proved
weak. The. one weak spot in the cad
cts team was their work or the Of
Tense. and the eleven was forced to
punt on nearly every fourth down.
Correa of Kamehameha outpunted
Quintal of Punahou by several yards,
but was unable to equal the long
boots Of Captain bill" Inman. Oahu's
backfield, composed of George Quin-
tai, Stafford Austin, Harry Baldwin
and Gordon Brown worked like a ma
chine but, like qKamehameha, the
team was weak on the offense. The
Buff and Blue line showedNup remark
ably strong on the defense, and time
after time forced the cadets to kick
on the fourth down. All in all, every
man on each team played for all that
was in him, and each is deserving of
stellar honers.
The first quarter was all Punahou's,
and for a time it looked as if she
would carry the ball over the line ana
score the first touchdown The be-
lief did not materialize, however, for
after the acollegians had taken the
leather to the Kam's 40-yard line in
the first few plays, Captain Manoha
caught a pass from QuintaI and the
ball went over. zCorrea kicked and
the ball was blocked by Harry Bald
win anGt the runs took the ball on
the 40 Punahou took the ball as far
as the 35.yard. line and it changed
hands twice in this territory until a
pass was received by Manoha. who
carried the ball to Punahou's 45-yard
line after pretty run. At this point
the Punahou line held like a stone
wall against the heavy kamehameha
players. The fourth down saw a pass
taken by Napihaa, who carried it to
the coliegians' 30-yard line, and the
quarter came to a close with the ball
on this line in possession of Kane
no score having been made
by either side
At the opening of the second pc
rod, the cadets lost the ball on downs,
and on "Punahou's first down Harry
Baldwin broke away for a gain of 35
Tards, carrying the ball to Kamehame-
la's 35-yard line. The bali changed
hands here through Punahou failing
% make her yardage, and punt from
Iorrea started booting contest which !
aSted for at least a dozen downs, both
teams gaining but little by the expert |
nent. Then Punahou fell back to
;crimmage and a good run by Bald |
win took the ball to the center of the |
field, the ball having changed hands |
when COrrea of Kamehameha failed |
ma drop kick for goal. The Puma
lous rushed the ball to Kamehamehas |
SS-yahd line, where they lost it on |
downs. Correa punted and the ball !
vas received by Austin on the 25-
Yard line. Inman also booted on the |
irst down and the ball was taken by |
\apihaa in the center of the field |
