KAMEHAMEHA AND
M'KINLEY fight:
TO TIE OF SO
Lack of Spirit Said to Be Cause
of Uninteresting Gridiron
Contest Saturday

One of the sloweSt games OF the sea
son was played on Kamehameha field
Saturday afternoon by Mckinley and
Kamehameha. The score was 3-3
tie.
However, the game was notably
clean throughout.
The players, school supporters and
fans plainly showed a relapse from
the over-zeal of previous games. The
plays were run off slowly and with no
drive; there was no fight nor determ-
ination in either team; the cheering
section were listless and the spec
tators apathetic.
At times Kan would rush the ball
across the field by force of weight only
to surrender it after weak attempt
to pile up the necessary yard or two
yards near the goal. Sometimes Nc
Kinley would brace up and put over
long gain by a trick play or from
their split formation. But although
Kan constantly wasted opportunities
by her backs cutting in too close and
Mckinley wasted her strength on
plunges into Kam's heavy line, the err
rors of football judgment were not to
be compared with the lack of football
spirit. At any time either team could
have had a touchdown by working for
it.
Mckinley braced up in the last quar-
ter and by recovering her own punt
that went out of bounds after touch
ing a Kan man, worked her open
plans up to Kam's 30-yard line, where
Kauhane made a nice place kick, q
duplicate Of Kam's place kick made: in
the second quarter.
At the beginning of the game Capt.
Lionel Brash won the toss for McKin-
ley and chose to receive the ball at the
Waikiki koal. He, caught the ball on
his 20-yard line and ran it back Is
yards. Kan then held Mckinley for
downs, took the ball and, on second
down, tried quick kick. Bush re-
covered the ball on his 10-yard line.
After Brash had made four yards on
line. plunge he faxed for a forward
pass, but Belim, coming around from
right end, took the ball from his hand
and ,circled for IA yards and first
down Again Mckinley was forced to
punt. For 10 fninAtes the .play-wasi
so close to McKinley's goal that Kan
tried two unsuccessful place kicks.
After this Mckinley took the ball on
long forward passes and wide-open
plays down to Kam's 20-yard line, when
the quarter ended.
At the beginning. of the second quar-.
ter Mckinley made try at goal from
placement, which missed by inches.
Then Kan came 70 life, carried the
ball the full length of the field and
made a successful place kick. The
play was seesaw across the 50-yard
line until the last minute of the hall, |
when Melim made long punt which
Kan missed and which he recovered
back of his ten-yard line. The half
ended here.
The second half Kan chose to kick |
to Mckinley. Mckinley started back
with some pep, but lost the ball on a
tumble. Kan took another chance at
a place kick but failed. The rest Of
the quarter was spent In seesawing
back and forth behind McKinley's 35- |
yard line. =
In the fourth quarter Kan made |
several good gains that placed her on
30-yard line. Here a for
ward pass placed the. ball IL yards
further down and after three downs
Kan tried another forward pass. Had
Kan driven wide plays with bit of
she would have made q
easily. But Hawkins inter.
cepted the forward pass and Kam's
chance to score was pau. Brash made
a beautiful punt and the Kan backsI
juggled it. Hawkins, following the ball
we'll, fell on 1t and then Mckinley
walked down to Kam's 30-yard line by /
using open plays and forward passes.
c. Melim was called back to hold for a
place kick and Noble Kauhafe drove
the ball cleanly between the bars, tie
ing the score, with a place kick for
each side. Score, 3-3.
The game ended in few moments
after Mckinley had made another kick
off to Kamehameth.
