Today.

Today the second game OF foot ball
OF the season viii be played at the Puma
hon grounds between the Artillery foot
ball team and Oahu college. Although
the Artillery were defeated last Saturday
they have improved greatly and bid fair
TO give the higher college team all they
can do 10 beat them
In last Saturdays game between the
Artillery aud Male lima both teams
were exceedingly slow. Both sides had
several good plays. which would have
made first-cIass ground gains had they
been executed with the proper speed. But
moving as slowly as they did the oppos-
ing side easily broke up the formation
Wilson. the Males right halfbaek.
played the star game OF the day last week
He skirted the ends time and again for
long runs. and bucked the line with the
precision of a veteran. His defensive
work was also of first-class order, and
but few points We're made by the soldiers
on his side OF the line.
King. who was Wilson's running mate
behind the line, bucked the line with con-
siderable strength. but has a tendency to-
wards going at things high
The weakest point in the Males team
was their right end. w Wright But for
Wilson's timely aid on that side OF the
line. the game might have gone the other
way. Wright is utterly unable TO get
low. and several times the runner made
three or four yards with the ball after he
was tackled In justice to Wright il
| should be said that he was new at the po-
sition.
! The star man for the Artillery was
/ Hawkins. the right end Several times
| he broke through well massed Interior
ence and secured the runner. when il
seemed impossible for him to reach his
man. He tackles hard and low. and goes
down the field on kicks in good style
The Artillery backs are the weakest
point in the team. Their manner OF
standing gives away almost every play.

determining where the play is going.

never failed to work. yet the play was
1 only used seven times. Then also. most
of the plays were directed against the
strongest point in the opposing line.
1 Time and again were plays hurled against
men who held like rocks. More head
work would undoubtedly have turned the
J tables.
OF the Oahu College team but little is
) known They have played two practice
games against tire Punahou Alumni. the
latter winning both games. TO and
to respectively. The college team is b,

quickness and superior condition count
for anything they should retain the cham
J pionship.
On the line the two ends. NJ. Robin

trio are the weak spots in the line. bu

appearance.
