The Reds captained by Rev. ]. F.
Lane took the town goal, and the Blues
captained by A. St NJ Macintosh, the
Waikiki. The referees whistle blew
and the ball was kicked off by Hamil-
ton of the Blues. The kick was a good
one, but the Reds had their eye on the
ball. Prince Cupid took it and made a
good adcance. 1t was then passed on to
Willis who made another gain. Then
Macintosh made run for the Blues,
but it was short lived. Stanley fell on
the ball but it was not in the place it
had been only a second before
1t was at this time that the playing
of Captain Lane of the Reds began to
show up. He caught the ball from Will
lis and made fine run, then he caught
the ball from Prince Cupid and lodged
through a number of his opponents, as
if they had not been there at all From
the start he showed himself to be the
best player on the field, although Will
lis and Prince Cupid were not very far
behind him.
Hamilton had a fall and then came a
safety touch by the Reds. The usual
% yards were taken. A, Long was
soon behind the goal with the ball
Lane kicked goal easily and the score
stood points for the Reds
Hamilton kicked off again for the
Blues and the game playing was gone
with again. The scrimmages
were numerous. In five minutes from
the first touch down, Captain Lane took
the ball from a scrimmage and carried
it back of the goal. He then kicked
goal again. Score, 10 points for the
Reds.
Hamilton again applied his foot to
the pigskin. 1t sped along as everyone
expected. 1t appeared as if the Blues
would surely make touch down, as
the ball was far down in the territory
of the Reds when Singer made fine
kick and saved the Reds from having
anything scored up against them. That
was really the only time the Blues got
near to the goal
An intermission of 10 minutes en-
sued, during which the band played
some lively airs, and the boys went into
the training rooms to repair their cos
tunes.
The Reds kicked off in the begin
ming of the scond half. The boys on
his side showed their supremacy. They
rushed the ball down the field and had |
no trouble whatever in getting the ball |
out of scrimmage. Lane, Willis and |
Prince Cupid were all the time running
with the bali, while Prince David, Sin
ger and others, did lot of the heavy /
pushing work, which counted for much.
Lane then made two touch downs in
very quick succession, which piled the
score up to 20 for the Reds.
The Blues had by no means given up
he game, and they played with a great
leal of stubbornness. Soper, Woods,
Hamilton, Cation and johnson, made
Tery good attempts, but the backs on
he other side were too heavy.
Willis picked the ball out of a scrim-
mage and made another touch down for
he Reds. This kind of thing was get
ing to be little monotonous. Lane
licked goal again and the score stood
IS TO 0, in favor of the Reds.
Johnson kicked off for the Blues.
Prince Cupid made fine run to within
bout three yards from the goal line.
