Sundays game-Wailuku, 20; Pun
meme 6.
Puunene's ~"Rainbows" fell victims
to the Waikiki Blues, Sunday after
noon in a game that was not won I'M
til the final stages. Though the score
is not indicative of a hard fought ON
test, the Blues were threatened at
all times by the new eleven by its
superiority in the use of the forward
pass. Several times the aerial route
placed the ball in Waikiki territory,
but the inability of Murray's men to
go through the line or around the
ends resulted in the pigskin being
forced out of danger and past, repeat
ed end runs and driving smashes by
Wailuku through center put the ball
three times across Puunenes goal.
= Waikiki Scores First
From the moment of the kickoff
quarterback Morris repeatedly sent
his men through the line relying on
the weight and speed of his men to
force their way through. Gaining
yardage, little by little, by these tao
tics a sudden shift and two end runs
placed the ball in striking dis
lance of the goal and Morris plunged
straight through the line scoring the
first touchdown which a moment lat
er was converted into goal by send
ing the ball squarely between the
posts.
Forward Pass Scores
After this score the Blues" kick
ed off, Puunene receiving and running
the ball up 20 yards before tackled.
On the first down a successful for
ward pass to the left end sent him
charging down the field, lodging and
diving, and across the Waikiki line
Puunene failed to score on the kick.
Puunene then kicked off to Wal
luku. the end of the first quarter
leaving the ball in scrimmage in mid
field. Score, end of first quarter Wal
luku Z; Puunene g..
The second quarter saw a battle of
wits and muscle neither side being
able to score, Puunene tried the for
ward pass again and again complet-
ing but few in one attempt Low in
%tercepted a pass that would surely
have resulted in another score for
Puunene for had their right end re-
ceived the ball the field was clear its
full length. Waikiki ~resorted to end
runs but with little avail, and when
the whistle blew, ending the first
half, both teams were going easy saw
ing their strength for a final smash
towards the end of the game.
Rainbow Line Weakens
Beginning the third quarter, the
Blues again started their smash at
the line, through center and through
guard in rapid succession the local
squad moved on and on, it was i'm
possible for the Puunene line to hold
against the steady drive hat finally
placed the ball near the tweny yard
line, from where Baldwin dashed
around the end and over the line.
Morris again kicked the goal.
Almost Immediately afterwards
Waikiki again had the ball in their
possession and in a series of end runs
marched it up to striking distance.
Again Morris hit the line repeatedly
finally going owe for his second
touchdown, but this time failed to
goal on the kick. Score at end of
third quarter Waikiki 20, Puunene 6.
In the last quarter, Morris having
a safe lead did very little on the Of
tensive reserving the strength of his
team until actual danger was shown.
Puunene tried hard to break through
the line but gained little, neither goal
being in danger when the whistle
blew to end the fray.
In the second quarter Humphrey,
the Puunene quarter was injured
suffering a torn ligament in the arm
and though this will result in his be-
ing out of the game for some time he
is now reported as being quite cheer
full despite the painful accident.
On his return from Honolulu Joe
Meinecke reported that E. o. Hall G.
