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.

Punahou was recruiting in Hilo as far back as 1953.
Jerry, keep the old stories coming. Nothing else to do but reminisce….
