BLUE AND GOLD DOWNS WKINLEY
NSPECTACULAR GAME SATURDAY
Touchdown by SLEEPY Baldwin and Place Kick by Peterson
Give Punahou Victory Over Mckinley Team-Luian, MeIm
and Thompson Star for High School Squad = Defeated
Team Equals VCtorS in Gaining Yardage During the Play


By defeating Mckinley nine to
nothing in the game on Alexander
Field Saturday, Punahou wound up
the second series of her football sea
son without being scored on by a
league team. Saturdays game was
fast and clean. Few injuries and few
penalties made it good game for the
spectators. .:=>.."a r.: ~: 49,:
The outcome was somewhat of a
surprise. The Punahou back, field was
crippled by the loss of the two fastest
half backs, Kaubane and Hawkins,
and it looked as if the High school
was due to win. Peanuts" Leal and
Sleepy" Baldwin, who stepped into
the breach, gave good account of
themselves and were largely RESPONSE
BILE for the outcome. -.
McKinley's offense was good
throughout the game, but was not
able to gain consistently enough to
score. Punahou, on the other hand,
frequently ran raggedly, but at the
critical moment had the punch to car
ry the ball over the line.
Punahous scores were made by a
place kick early in the first period and
a touchdown in the last.
Pete Gets Goal I'M.
Shortly after the kickoff Bent made
a beautiful fifty yard punt to Peter
son. Leal, Baldwin and Mahikoa
smothered the Mckinley ends and
Peterson returned the ball thirty-five
yards before being downed. Punahou
then advanced the ball to the thirty
yard line but there Mckinley held.
Peterson then dropped back and scor-
ed the first three points by a goal
from placement, Mahikoa holding,
Toward the end of the third period
Peterson punted out of bounds on the
High schools ten yard line. McKin-
ley worked the ball up to the thirty
and there lost it, failing to make yard
age by a scant foot.
When the fourth period opened
SLEEPY" Baldwin took the ball for
a twenty yard gain on a skin tackle
play. At the beginning of the game
Baldwin was a bit slow in getting
started, but now when the rest were
tired and slowing up he was going
as strong as ever. He took the ball
several times in succession and final
ly carried it over the goal line. Peter
son missed goal. ..:@..:. ~:
Mckinley tried to kick field goal
in the third period, but the pass from
center was bad and there was no
chance to kick In this same period
an attempt by Punahou met the same
fate, and in the fourth period Peter
son missed by a narrow margin.
Punting Duel ........ - HI.
The teams made about the same
amount of yardage. Punahous advan-
tage came in the punting game. Peter
son and Bent were both in fine form.
Peterson, however, placed his punts
better, and on Bent's punts the Puma
iou backs moved down the prospec-
tive tacklers so we'll that Peterson al
ways had a good start on the run
back. Punahou was the gamer on al
most every exchange. ~
Lujan, Melim and Bill Thompson
played a strong defensive game for
They repeatedly broke
through the Punahou line and nailed
he backs before they could get un-
Ter way. Boyd, Bent, Tsukiyama and
Thompson also tore through for good
gains on the offense. Iwanaga show
ed himself a fast end and will I'M
play a strong game when
he has more experience. ....& +.
Fassoth played a good end for Pu-i
nahcu, both on offense and defense.
Robinson was good at getting through
the line for. tackles. Leal and Bald
