OUTPLAY M'KlNLEY
Captain Austin Stars For CoIIeg
ians and Victory Over High
Is Decisive One


With good, clean and straight foot
ball, the College Of Hawaii defeated
Mckinley High School yesterday after
noon at Moiliili baseball park by
score of II to 0. The high school did
not lose on account of poor playing,
but the real superiority of the
college team was responsible for
its downfall. The defense of the Ha-
waii team was very strong, especially
when it came to forward passing, the
colleges secondary defense intercepted
those thrown by Mckinley time and
again. The offensive of the college
team was often irrepressable, and good
interference made large gains possible.
The line, too, showed up better than it
has in former games, and holes were
opened when needed for line plunges.
Scored In Second Period
The scoring was done in the second
period as the result of a series of line
plunges netting a touchdown, and a
beautiful run of fifty yards by Austin,
who ran through a broken field for
touchdown. In the fourth quarter,
Brown made a pretty drop kick from
the thirty -five-yard line. In the first
few minutes of play Mckinley had her
only opportunity to score when they
brought the ball up to Hawaii s ten
yard line, but poor pass from the
center spoiled their chances. At no
other time in the game were they
really dangerously near Hawaii 8 goal.
The heat which beat down on the
Moiliili field was enough to make any
game slow, but despite sweltering
weather the game was fairly fast, and
the men were on the jump all the time.

yellow with their yells.
Hawaii Played Well
Technically Hawaii showed that they
had mastered the rudiments of the
game, and therein lies their victory.
They fumbled only once, while the
high school lost the ball many times
in this way. Mckinley gained only a
few yards from well executed forward
passes, and had too many of them in
tercepted. High schools interference
was rugged and spasm0dic. When the
men did get together they made good
gains. A beautiful forward pass, Brash
to Lee, brought the ball within seven
yards of McKinley's goal, and the
timekeeper S whistle only stopped a
ended. There were other plays and
passes to show that Hawaii is learn
ing the open game, now so popular on
the.mainland.
