Today the second game OF foot ball
OF the season viii BE- PLAYED at the Puma
hon grounds between the Artillery foot
hall 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 and Male lima both teams
were exceedingly slow. Both sides had
several good plays. which would have
made firsr-,Iass 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 haifbaeS.
pIaved the star game Of the day last week
He skirted the ends time and again Tor
long runs and bucked the line with the
nrecision of veteran. His defensive
work was also of a 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 nj 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
wav. Wright is utterly unable 10 get
/ low. and several times the runner made
three or four yards with the ball after he
was tackled. In justice TO Wright 1t
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 II
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
and the opposing side has no difficulty II
determining where the play is going
Another great fault is lack of hea'
work. One play that was used last weei
J never failed to work. yet the play wa
only used seven times. Then also mos
of the plays were directed against tn
4 strongest point in the opposing line
] Time and again were plays hurled agains
! men who held like rocks. More hea
work would undoubtedly have turned tn
D tables.
OF the Oahu College team but little
3 known. They have played two practic
4 games against tire Punahou Alumni. tn
, latter winning both games. 6 TO o and
l.. TO o respectively The college team is
. far the quickest team of the three and
\ auickness and superior condition cour
. for ANYTHING. they should retain the chan
3 pionship.
: On the line the two ends. NJ. Robin
. son and Judd. are probably the stronge:
4 places Walker and Goats. the tackle
= are also strong men and break up int
= ference in first-elass style. The cent
. trio are the weak spots in the line. b'
Il bolstered up as they are by a good qua
ter. they still present quite formidab
= appearance.
- The lineup will be as follows:
