SATURDAYS contest was long and
drawn out. In the first half, hardly
three plays we're run on without some
-one causing time to be taken out.
Near the end of the game 1t began
to get dark and it was about two
hours between the time the first whis-
tie blew and the final blast
There is no doubt that the Town
men have faster and heavier team
than Punahou and that they won the
game through superior playing. They
had the advantage Of lot of extra
weight and muscle IN their line.
A large part Of the credit that goes
to the yictofs belongs to Schuman. It
was largely through his coaching and
leadership that the ToWnies made
such q good showing. He has kept
his men practicing hard and there has
hardly been an afternoon during the
last two weeks that the Town team
has not beeh seen out on the Held.
Coach F. e. Midkif worked hard
with the 0ahuans and had them
trained down to fine point but
they lacked the weight and expert
ence which their opponents had.
For the Town team, e Searle played
q star game at guard. This is his firts
year at football and he Still has many
things to learn. Nevertheless, he was
under more plays and made q nicer
lot Of tackles than the majority OF
the men on the Town line. +;
When It comes to kicking, Elisha
Andrews, who played with the Town
team lis superior to all others on the

r Stanford Austin, who played an end
for Punahou, made more tackles and

than any other man on the o. G. team
The BALDWIN brothers did we'll for
Punal1ou and tried hard to score, but
were not able to get past the strong
defense OF the IoWn team. Harry
went through the line and around the
ends more than once. netting the Ga.
huans good gain each time.
Bill" Inman, Punahou captain, made
some good gains for his teams. This
was his first game at halfback.
Candy, Bond, the smallest man on
Punahou's team, was right on his job
at guard. He held Searle In great
shape, the latter getting at the plays
only by going back and around.
Claude King played well at guard
for Oahu. O'Dowda took his place in
the second quarter
Harry Melin (Hfgh School BaIf'
'Melin1 formerly played quarter for
Mckinley and when the ToWnies got
the bali Saturday. he was so pleased
that he forgot he was playing for the.
Town team and not M. H. 8. His
work at end was good.
Bill. Patty was right there for the
Town team and lived up to his repu.
tation as a good man at tackles.
e. Moore AN old Punahou man, held
down his place at tackle In good
style.
McInerny played a hard battle at
center for Panahou. Many expected
that he would not play, but things
were arranged favorably and he was
back in the game.
Jimmy Hand held down one end for
Punahou. HIS fast work broke up a
number of the Town teams plays.
The Punahou rooters were out in
full force and under the leadership
Of Claussen Emory they did some

a marked improvement over the noise
at the last game and the result of
Emory's work was plainly seen.
The talk Of the Town team having
a roofing squad did not result in any
noise on the part of its supporters,
The lower side Of the field was very
