experienced players.
Game Well Played
The game was featured by the sue
cessful execution Of forward passes
by PunahoH. two OF which went right
over the line for touchdowns-n Puma
hou carried the ball the greater part
OF the time. usually gaining by end
runs and skin tackle bucks. Mckinley
attempted to use several fancy shifts
and passes when they carried the ball
but they were without much success,
for the middle of Punahou's line was
in upon them too quickly. =
Around Captain bud" Pratt, the
Punahou line centered a powerful de-
Tense. The middle of the line particu-
larly was strong, Robinson playing
conspicuously at right guard and Lid
gate at left tackle. The latter was
playing in this position for the first
time and In it.showed up strong.
Sleepy Baldwin was at half back

iible to play in interscholastic games,
and with Pogue at the other half, Pet
erson at full, and Mahikoa at quarter,

runs, although Baldwin figured IN
these less conspicuously by getting IN
to the interference Peterson was
strong on running back punts.

OF McKinley's line impregnable except
TO a couple of surprises. McKinleys
ends were not able to smash the Puma
hou interference but on few occasions,
