Hawaii 10, Punahou Is

from the PunahOu Academy team yes
terday afternoon in the last five min
utes Of play by n beautiful forward
pass caught by Lee just over the goal
line. From the spectators standpoint
. better game has not been seen on
Alexander Field for long time. Their
were thrills galore, and enough straight
football and more open and modern
playing to make the game interesting
during every minute of the four pc
RODS, What the College Of Hawai-
could not do against the smooth run
ing and well trained football machine
OF the Academy was compensated by
her wonderful execution of the for
ward pass. Hawaiiss first and second
touchdowns were made by passes. Tn"
first, Brash to Starratt and the second,
Brash to Lee. They with a safety Sc
cured in the second period gave the
eollegians the gamea
Was a Great Comeback
ALT was a great comeback for the
Academy men when In the beginning
Of the second half the score stood 8
To 0 against them, and before the third
period they had piled up two touch
downs making the score IL to 9 in
their favor.
1.-The College of Hawaii can well pat
themselves on the back for beating the
Punahou eleven. Hawan's captain,
Austin, seemed to be in every play.
II there was one star of the game it
was he. If it was end-running line
phlnging or defensive work, his red ier
sey was conspicuous in the middle of
the pile. Correa for Punahou played
extremely well. His end runs were a
feature of the game, and both of Pu-
nahou's touehdowns were made by him.
AS fullbaek he was the mainstay of
the secondary defense.
Not Up to Standard
Brash' offensive game was not up
to his standard, but he more than made
up for it by his well executed forward
passes, which virtually won the game
for Hawaii. Hicks for the College
proved his worth at center. His pass
ing was excellent and his defensive
playing above criticism. II. Pratt and
John Clifford playing tackle for" the
College and Academy respectively were
two of the best line men in the game,
and II was nip and tuck between them
during the whole game. Gordon Brown
was as usually strong on the defensive
and made many good gains through the
line. ...
Hipa, Punahou's quarterback played
the game of his life and ran his team
without hitch. His individual work
was above par, especially on the de-
fensiye. Sanders at guard for the Col
lege was steady and proved himself
football player despite his inexpe-
rienee.
Lee Proved Hero
Lee, at end, was the hero of the
game when he caught the last forward
pass resulting in a touchdown. He
repeatedly broke up the PunahOu plays
that came his way.
This was the cleanest game of foot
ball played on a local gridirOn for a
long time. The absence Of high and
rough tackling, and the keen, but good
natured rivalry displayed was a credit
to the two institutions represented. All
games in the future could we'll be
modelled from the one played yesterday
on Alexander Field.
No game is without its eff that had
not happened" 1t is only fair to say
that chance favored both teams yester-
day. Punahou was without the services
OF Napihaa for most of the game
Would the score have been different
if this star was in the backfield for
Pnahouf If the referee had not de-
cided that Austin pushed his man in
stead of making Interference, which he
thought he was doing; would Hawaii
have gained another touchdown If
the ball had not gone over COrrea 3
head, would there have been n safety
or a tie secret However Hawaii did
not win by hukes; il, was her superior
ity in using the forward pass that
brought victory to the Green and White.
