uo tcdtu anu WOU the fuIefSc1OIaSIlC
championship on Alexander field last
Saturday by a score Of 6 to 0. From
many angles the contest appeared to
be brilliant one. but looking at the
play from the Kan standpoint the
game was loosely played. There was
q large crowd present and the roofing
was the best OF the year, but the head
work displayed by Kan stuck out like
a sore thumb. II was objectionable.
Had Kan used all the possibilities
that they could have made from their
plays IL might have been q different
story. Their work In forward pass
ing was the worst of the year. They
tried to pass when some other play
was the thing. and when they did try
II they never threw the ball anywhere
near Kan player. Seven times the
Punahou players grabbed the ball II
was really pitiful to watch the Kan
players use this play.
The Punahou Spirit.
Taken team for team there is no
one who watched the game on Sat
urday that will say that Kan is not
as good as Punahou. The Punahou
players Will admit that Playing the
right plays and lighting for the goal
they possibly might have a shade on
the Buff and Blue, but Punahou had
the difference. They got all that was
possible out Of their strength and they
had the Punahou spirit working over
time yesterday.
Picking stars out OF the game Sat
urday was q hard matter. There were
80 many misplays that some of them
must be forgotten. Noble Kauhane
was the real dyed-in-the-wool star IL
YOU watch the score board for your
choice. He was the only point gamer
for Midkiffs eleven. On two occa-
lsions he dropped back and booted the
bail oycr the posts for a nicely exc
cuted place kick. In his work in the
back field be also displayed sufficient
talent to mark him down in the Puma
hou hall .pk fame.
Naplhas and correa Again.
Napihaa and Lorrea also showed up
we'll. They hit the line we'll, ran the
ends and were always backing up the
team. Napihaa's ability to plunge his
way through the heavy Kan line was
one Of the features Of the game. Gift
ford also played his usual strong game
and time and again broke through the
opposing line and got his man. Every
player on the Punahou team was. in
the game from start to finish, and al
though Mott-Smith passed. poorly his
work on the defense was q revelation
TO the onlookers. Time and again he
would sprl the play and was always
with the ball.
= Harry Bertelmann was the big tow
er of strength on the Kan line. With
Simeona, he was In every play and
Bertelmann could be seen stopping che
runner time and again, Simeona was
Tin the play every moment. He charged
well and presented q stone wall on
tdefense. Hussey at end was active
and although he did not star as ne
has In other games he played consist
'ent ball. Eaton was ttis back who
made the best impression Saturday
He hit the line In fine fashion and
continually bored his way through for
big gains. G. Bertelmann also gained,
but his line bucling ability was not up
to the standard of Eaton. Ieane
proved that he could be depended on
to punt. as he got his kicks off well
and made good average for the day.
