lGgc Saturday afternoon and the result
vas Il tie game OF to 0. This score
would sound TO anyone like the re-
sui' 81 good game. In many respects,
the game was a good one, but to the
praGticed eye, there were many flaws
apparent that must be corrected before
he playing of the teams concerned can
ha called anything like the average.
]. is true, every inch OF the way was
stubbornly fought by the two teams
and there were a number OF good plays
hu; there were also a large number Of
iumbles and off-side plays that spoiled
the game for the spectators who knew
the most about football
tt $3.50 o'clock there were In the
Geighborhood Of 1900 people on the
grounds around the ropes and on the
reserved seats placed Just inside tha

band stationed under big monkey
POD tree at the mauka side OF the
grounds, played several pieces before
the game began and then again be-
tween the halves and at the end. The
presence Of the band greatly enhanced
he enjoyment of the afternoon.
The headquarters Of the Honolulu
athletic Club team was in n tent at
;Ee Waikiki side of the grounds Just
inside the extension Of the line. The
Maile-Ilimas had no particular rally
ing place but they rallied whenever
The chance afforded, around large
tanner made of the club colors.
The game started soon after $3.50
o'clock. The Honolulus winning the
toss, took the Waikiki side and the
Maile- lima team went to the Eva

lu,us but in this the enthusiasts were
disappointed. The Honolulus failed to
| 10 what was expected Of their advan-
taes in weight while the Maile-Ilimas
did not live up to their promises OF
quick playing. However, the latter by
hard playing, did succeed in gettin.
the ball near the Honolulus goal sew
eral times, only to be stopped by the
solid wall of the wearers of the scarlet
and white which seemed to rally only
when their goal territory seemed in
danger of being invaded.
Early in the game Chris Holt hurt
Ms shoulder quite badly and his place
was taken by Crook. The Males
played Prince Jonah Kalanianaole hard
In the first. part of the game and he did
good work, advancing the ball close tc
the goal OF the Honolulus. However

The Honolulus became desperate anC
kicked the ball far down into the ter

had the temporary advantage of keep

for a little longer. The Males, findini
that time for the first half was almos

within few feet of the goal and di

; one OF the Male players called for
little time. He had become winde'
and could not play until he had mad

doubtedly lost the game for the Male
for it seemed as II in few more sec

over the line.
Just as the center rush got down I

crowd than the Males as they wake
away from that goal cannot be imagin
