MATES, Latin and scientific cooking in

in shape for the battle with their RI

Out at Kamehameha they are con
fident that Punahou will have 10 place:

even Had the teams played last Sat
urday@ Kamehameha would have Won
easily There is no question about
that, but in the hours that have
passed since, things have taken on
different hue at the Blue and Gold
camp.
Lea and kauhane 70 Play
Noble KauhaHe and George pea.
nuts") Leal. the two fast backs, have
been taking their place behind the
scrimmage line and will be ready for
\ the Kan forces on Saturday. Hitch
cock will be back at end, and every
man who has anything less than a.
broken leg will be ready, as Pnnahou
wants another championship, and they
are figuring that they will have a hard
battle this year.
Kan, since the King street boys
played PuHahou early in the year, is
not the Kan team of today. Dover
has injected plenty of pep into the
play. and the Hawaiian boys will have
a number of new formations TO shoot
at Punahou. Capt Booths charges
must win on Saturday or be eliminated
as contenders for the championship.
II will be up TO them to make hard
fight
Big Bertelmann will be back in the
game, and Kanuu, Clark, Hussey, Kai- |
ona, Dover, Eaton, Palama, Wright, |
de Ia Nux and Eaton are expected TO |
be ready. The team looked good |
against the College of Hawaii, and |
II they can play as well on Saturday, |
the Blue and Gold men will have their /
hands full
Their Jinx
In the past Kan has played better
football than Punahou in other games
of the year, but when the time came
TO meet Midkiff's men the defense !
crumbled and the offense proved to be
slow. This year the questions Will be /
asked: Can Kan win from their
rivals by using their heads through I
out? and, Viii PHnahou have the
breaks OF the game enough to give 1
them victory?
Kan appears TO have the stronger I
line, and will be at least as strong at I
the flank positions. Hussey is a great
little end, and with Hitchcock recoy-
ering rom an injury, the Kan man
appears to have the edge. Sleepy
Baldwin is one player that can be de-
pended upon to do great work for
Punahou. He is always full Of pep, /
and although not sensational PLAYER
is valuable man for his team.
Fast Backfield
In the backfield Punahou has Ma
hikoa, Kauhane, Leal and Peterson.
Against Mckinley, Kauhane and Leal
ran through tackle for big gains, be-
cause the high school lineman played
out of position. Leal very seldom cir
cled the ends for runs. Kauhane runs
hard. is hard to stop, and has plenty
of speed. Hussey will have a busy
day stopping this end running back.
Eaton should gain as much or more
yardage on line plunging thar the Pu-
nahou backs He runs low, hits the
line hard, but isn't so elusive as Kau-
hane or Leal. Palama showed to adj
vantage in the Hawaii game, and Kan
figures upon him to make much yard
age.
Kan should have a slight edge on
the quarter back job, but il won't be
much. Mahikoa hasn't flashed across
the horizon OF football as some other
players of the year have, but he is
heady player, hard worker, and
looks like one of the best field gen
erals Punahou has had in some time.
Dover is faster, and has had more ex-
