ferred to the cadets. Harry Baldwin
is probably the fastest halfback in the
history of the game in these Islands,
and the way he is able to pick his
holes is surprising. AT the same time,
he is one of the lightest men to hold
down this position, weighing about one
hundred and thirty.fve pounds.
Ralph Gray Of Oahu College played

up the Rams plays behind the line.
Gray also did good work for his team
in recovering fumbles and several
times when Kan fumbled, he got the
pigskin for Punahou by his quick
action.
Cockett on the Kamehameha line
played good game for the cadets, and
he got through and broke up Puma.

others.
One of the best players on Kane

afternoon when he was shifted to half.
back. AT this position, he showed up
well, and made many long gains
around end.
Captain Manoha who shifted places
with Napihaa, played a good game at
quarterback, not only in calling the
signals, but also in running with the
ball.
On the Punahou line, Jimmy Hind at
center, played especially well and ne
covered the space between right and
left tackle on his opponents line. BY
playing back little, he was able to
size up the plays and time and again
he blocked the ball before it got to
the halfback.
Correa S punting was a feature of
the game, and it is surprising how
this man has improved in his toe work.
In the first of the season this was
weak point in Kamehamehas playing
but now, Correa is able to hold his own
with any pigskin kicker on the field.
A great deal of credit is due Coach
Brewer for the good showing that his
team has made during this year. lie
has worked faithfully with the boys
and the result of his work has almost
exceeded his expectations.
For Oahu COiiege, Quintal did some
good puntng, and he also showed good
head work in calling off the plays
from quarter.
Coach Midkiff of Punahou stated
Saturday evening that in his opinion,
the tolege team played the hardest
game they have yet played, against
the cadets. He felt satisfied that they
were unable to run up "A larger score
because of the good playing on the
part of Kamehamoha rather than on
account of Indifferent playing by his
men.

If there is anything that will kill foot

football field who is not perfectly
