Large Crowd Present
There was a large delegation on
hand to witness the Turkey Day con.
test, and the Punallou young ladies
once more carried off the honors with
Miss Male Wears and Miss Elizabeth
Hobby at the helm. They easily out
rooted the Kan crowd, so Punahou
carried off all the honors of the day,
Pogue, Peterson, Lydgate and CLARK
played excellent football for Punahou,
while very few gains were made
through Nelson Robinson. For Kane

Dawson stood out, although Coleman
did not play UP to his usual standard.

getting to be spooky, and If some team

A mainland visitor who was present
at the football game at Alexander
Field yesterday said that the cheer

much better than that of the schools
on the mainland. He praised the two
young lady. cheer leaders for Their
energy in bringing about a real cheer

certainly deserves great credit for hel
organization, and ably assisted by
Miss Male Wears the cheer leaders
made the Punahou vocalists the hit Of
the day. Paul Fassoth also helped out
in the cheer leading with real punch
