the long end of the IA to o score in
Saturdays struggle with Mckinley
high school on the victor's ground.
A low, short kickoff at the opening
of the second half went straight to
the arms of Dover and while the High
school were converging for the tackle
he saw a wide opening right In the
middle and tore through for a touch
down with hardly High school hand
laid on him. A little later de IA Nux
threw a high long forward pass over
the head OF the High school left end
and Wright caught the perfectly
thrown pigskin with no Mckinley play
err between him and another touch
down. These constituted the only
scoring5 OF the match.
That kahuna
The High school believe in the ka-
huna. With straight football they
completely outciassed the Kameha-
meha aggregation in the first half
and put the ball over only to drop it
when tackled in the end zone. This
duplicates their experience against
Mills.
When the referees whistle opened
the game, opinion as to the final out
come ranged from 90 to so victory
for Kamehameha. But it was not the
same team that lined uD against the
Mills team the week before. They had
mastered tackle swing play and for
the entire first half baffled the Kan.
defenders by slamming first Boyd,
then Lujan or Capt. Thompson
through for repeated gains: The Kan
players found 1t hard to pull together
and at times resorted to rough tactics
to stop the onrush of the High school
ers.
FumbIes Across Line
The Kan team entered the game
with much heavier outfit than the
High Schoolers and had the confidence
born of a bunch of fresh men ready
to fight. But the High school crowd
had the spirit of fight and go that
plowed through their heavier oppon-
ents for two quarters. Mckinley put
the ball on the one foot line, tried
three straight bucks and failed to
gain an inch, then swung Boyd around
for the proposed touchdown but Boyd
had the misfortune to hit the goal post
and although he fell into scoring ter
ritory, the shock drove the ball out
of his arms. The touchdown was
followed by gains by Kan. Kan was
held in the center of the field and
kicked. Mckinley was driving back
up the field when the whistle blew.
Mckinley was forced to kick but once
during the first half.
The second half saw Dover receive
the kick off and run for touchdown.
This seemed to dishearten the High
schoolers and they put themselves on
the defensive. Kams backfield now
bucked up and tore around High
schools ends for decent gains. The
forward pass was soon used repeated
ly and although five failed, the sixth
went straight to the arms of Wright,
who made six more counters and
again Kam's kicker. Hussey, placed
the extra tally clean between the
posts.
Luian Goes Through
1t looked as though the doped
score might follow for this was enough
to discourage the worn High school
ers, but Capt Thompson begged his
men to hold their ground and big
Lujan continued his line of encourage
ment so that in the last quarter High
school again began their upward
march toward the goal. but it was too
late. -.
Dover lowered as Kam's star
throughout. He adds to his abilities
by being very clean player. He was
the whole backfield for Eaton. the
Kan fullback, was rapeatedly nailed
behind the line for losses His only
gains came when the High school left
end weakened under the heavy on
slaught of the interference. Akana
was then replaced by Correiro and
the gains stopped for season.
Clark Stars -. ~ .~E
Clark stands out as Kamehameha's
strongest: linesman. He is the clever
est defender yet discovered this sea
SON. He was opposite High schools
strongest linemen but used his hands
to such good effect that Boyd was re-
peatedly rushed in making his for
ward passes. If Clark continues he
will secure a tackle place on this
years mythical Hawaiian eleven.
BOYD at fullbaek was the surprise |
of the day. He had a hard drive, lots
