ARTHUR KEANINI FUDEO FUHSAKI Guard Haliback Football Review The Farrington Governors enjoyed anoth- er successful gridiron season when they fin- ished in a tie for second place after being serious contenders for the pennant. Much of the credit for the team's success goes to Coach Henry Kusun ' and his staff for their untiring efforts in coming the Governors into one of the outstanding teams of the interscholastic League. The success of the Maroons becomes more notable when it is remembered that they Were hard hit with injuries and losses that would have broken the spirit of the average team and coach. ut t tem, it was just another chal- lenge to arder and they accepted it readily as en by the fact that they had plenty of spirit and hustle in every game. Their brightest achievement Was their start- ling victory over Saint Louis, league cham- pions of l942. Their biggest triumph was against Kamehameha, Whom they defeated after trailing by two touchdowns. This battle was not only a scoring victory but also a moral victory as they played Without the services of Castro, Hayselden, and Othello who left school, and Oishi who was injured. ln their first game the Governors com- bined speed With deception to Win a great victory but in their final games, they were forced to rely more on team play as they Were considerably weakened by the loss of their former star players. 85 TOSHIHIKO KANAKURI AUSTIN KAU Guard End INTERSCHOLASTIC LEAGUE STANDING Team Won Lost Tied Saint Louis ...... .... 4 l U Farrington ...... .... 3 2 U Punahou ...... ..,. 3 2 U McKinley ............. .... 3 2 U Kamehameha ............ 1 3 1 Roosevelt ........... .,..

MITCHELL KUKONO KENNETH OGITANI EDWARD LOVELL RALPH MOTOFUII Halib ck Haliback End End FAR 0 PUNAHOU 14 In a fray which saw them eliminated from the pennant scramble and which saw them receiving their first whitewash of the season, the Governors bowed to a well-oiled Punahou eleven l-4-U in a bitter, hard-fought struggle. Tension plus the great playing of lohnny Ruiz, brilliant Pun star, caused the downfall of the Govs. The first quarter saw a scoreless period as the ball changed hands occasionally with neither team making any headway. Midway during the second quarter, the Pun forward wall blocked loseph Tom's kick in midfield and recovered it on the Governors' 45-yard line. A series of plays saw the Buffanblus marching down the field. s Castro smashes through the Saints' line for a long gain. After reaching the Maroons' 13-yard stripe, Ruiz, Punahou fullback, thundered through the whole Farrington team to score standing up. xBill I-lubbell's kick was good to give the P ns a 7-U lead. The Governors ened the second half with a ba g as Bill.. aulukukui returned the kicko Z2 yards o the Puns' 48 yard line. This was follo ed by an ll yard run by Tom, speedy K alfback, who later- aled to Fudeo Fujisalh, but ' was incom- plete and the Puns r o red to repulse the threat. Several tes later it was the Puns who t eatene hen they reach- ed the 7-yard li , to meet a stone wall as the Maroons, fig g dly, stif- fened to halt the assault. e Buffan- blues were not to be de for several plays later they marched 43 yards to score with Ruiz again packing the oval to put the game on ice. Sol Kaulukukui made it 14-U as he kicked a perfect placement. The Maroons threatened to score again in the dying moments of the game when Ken Ogitani, versatile Farrington halfback, completed a long pass to his running mate, Ted Kalua, who was brought down on the SU yard line of Punahou. But Dame Fortune again frowned on the Govs as Bill Kaulukukui fumbled on the next play, a pass from Tom, and the Buffanblues took over the game from then on till the gun ended the contest. 84
