Punahou AD James Iams got right back to work after a year at Stanford.
On this date in 1953, Punahou athletic director James Iams returned from a year at Stanford and brought word that the school is high on football prospects Allen Napoleon of Iolani and Punahou’s Donn Carswell.
Iams was Punahou’s sports boss from 1946-75. He died in 1995.
Lot of articles about Punahou…Why?
Completely random, a year pops up and I do the top story. But in 100-plus years, the top prep story figures to be on Punahou a lot of times.
Punahou was recruiting in Hilo as far back as 1953.
Jerry, keep the old stories coming. Nothing else to do but reminisce….
