score.
They're. off. Hold EN- boys
Hit that line" Get him, dump him."
such were some of the crys that
echoed and re-echoed over the Wal
luku Athletic grounds Saturday after
noon as Paia and Wailuku met 10
match their skill at that nerve-ting-
ling, red blooded game of football.
1t was a wonderful showing those
boys made, most of whom were no
vices at the sport, in their initial APP
p%earance with the pig skin. From
the whistle almost to the final down
it was anybody's game, a battle Of
wits and muscle that kept all fans
that filed the stands and packed the
side lines on their YES Impartial
they were in roofing, first it was
laia. then a cry for Wailuku and a
cheer would rise and swell in their
thIoats to be heard over town.
A seething, tumbling mass of jer-
sey and khaki clad warriors, the ma
room and the blue swaying back and
forth DER the field as the line gave or
held. \ whistle blew and sharp and
clear above the cheers could be heard
The signals as Coleman or Ting
matched their wits to deceive the de
fence. Perhaps a pause, then a red
OF blue clad figure would leap with
the speed of a bullet, charging
straight against a compact line which
seemed to resist all efforts and held
as d stone wall.
For the first half OF the game it
was useless 10 attempt to find a hole,
both teams holding their ground with
that determination and ~doggedness
that it known in all of Maui's sport
ing ~ag2regatiOnS.
Paia's Weight Counts
II was in the third quarter that
Faia's weight began to count, heavier
han the local boys by an average of
at least 20 lbs to a man, quarter back
Coleman changed the tactics of his
cam. In a series of line bucks,
through center and through guard
they started on a march down the
field, hold as they would Wailuku's
line could not stop such men as
Tiny" Filler and others almost as
heavy. Time and time again their
charges counted for a first down,
others only a few yards, but the con
sistent drive, drive, drive, finally
placed the ball on Wailukus six yard
line from where McCluskey went
straight through center for the first
touchdown of the game. Shortly af-
terward McCluskey placed the ball
squarely between the posts on the
kick.
Following the Touchdown Waikiki
kicked off to Paia's 80 yard line.
Sousa received the ball and advanced
it Is yards, on the first play Coleman
went through center for another gain
Of ten Here the whistle blew ending
the third quarter. Score, Paia Z;
Wailuku ..
When the whistle started them
again Paia held the ball on the 80
yard line but was penalized 5 yards
ON the first s~crimmage for being off
side A series of line bucks failed
to net yardage and on the last down
Paia punted for 80 yards, Waikiki
running it back s. and placing it on
their own 20 yard line. Two attempt
ed end runs failed to advance Cap
tain Pogue's men and he punted 20
yards Paia returning the ball half
that distance. Ch%artrand, carrying
the ball for Paia went through tackle
for 20 yards, Waikiki receiving a
penalty of Is yards for orugh treat
ment which placed the ball on their
10 yard line, Coleman twice hit the
line, his second rush taking the ball
over the goal, McCluskey, again re-
ceiving the honors on the kick, Final
score Paia II; Waikiki, o..
Waikiki Misses Chance
Wailuku's only chance to score a
touchdown came Immediately after
the opening of the second half, Paia
had kicked off TO the 80 yard line;
Wailuku received the ball and ran it
back 10 before downed. A forward
pass, Ting to Frank Bal, the right end
Melted 20 yards. Pogue then ooh the
pig skin around right end for another
10. Another successful pass placed
the ball on the 3 yard line, but here
TWO line bucks and an end run re-
suited in Wailuku being thrown back
for a loss Of 4 yards. Ting attempt
ed another forward pass to the left
end but failed to complete it, the ball
going to Paia on their own 10 yard line
from where they started their success
full drive down the field.
Now hat the game has been given
a start and a fair trial there appears
no doubt hat it will prove popular on
Maui, a 40 score, while it sounds
like a tremendous defeat is a really
very good score in a football game.
Paia won but Waikiki is not u Of
. the playing, for the coming week will
see many new aspirants approaching
coach Ting with the desire to play in
the game from which heavier mater
ial for the line should be easy to OBJ
tain, and as the weaker line was the
prominent factor in Saturdays defeat
ii would not be surprising to see the
Waikiki team turn the tables on the
coming Sunday.
Both teams are well worthy of
commentator for the manner in
which they played the game; there
was but one penalty for |unnecessar-
