GOOD FOOTBALL
AT MAKIKI
The Game was Fast but Both
Sides Felt the Hot
Weather.


The Scotch eleven and H NJ S Icarus
eleven met in friendly game Of asso-
citation football at Makiki on Saturday.
The weather was beautiful, if anything a
little too warm for the socker game A
fair crowd was in attendance and were
treated to "a good exhibition from start
to finish.
The Icarus boys We're first on the field,
and engaged in a preliminary shoot for
goal. On the arrival of the Scotch elev-
en-, both teams were photographed to-
gether by Mr.. Melvin of King Brothers
a late start was the outcome of this.
and the teams lined up at 1876 as follows:
H. NJ S. Icarus-Goal, Stead; backs,
Ross, Stone; halves, Angus, Stiles,
Thorp; forwards, Mcdonald, Hicks, Mil
me- Jeandron, Pitcher
Scotch Eleven-Goal, Fenwick; backs,
McGil, R. Anderson; halves, Lennon,
Bottomly. Craik; forwards Munro. Kay,
royle, Goudie F'iddes.
Mr.. Blackman officiated as referee and
Messrs. Alger and Cumming acted as
touch judges.
The Scotch team won the toss and
chose to defend the Beretania goal, play
ling uphill Milne kicked off for the tars,
who started with a will and for a time
made things lively for the Scotch backs.
a fine return by r. Anderson, however,
relieved the pressure, and Fenwick in
goal now felt more comfortable. Kay was
conspicuous in leading a frontal attack
on the sailors goal, and by fine combi-
nation the Scotch front rank carried the
ball we'll up the field. and Munro, passing
to Boyle. enabled the latter player to
draw first blood with a long oblique shot.
Scotland, /; Icarus, o.
This slight reverse in fortune was not
appreciated by the tars, who kicked off
in a determined fashion and looked as if
they meant business. A fine run down
by the sailors proved fruitless, Jeandron
missing the post in his parting shot.
From the goal kick the thistles again
took up the running, Goudie and Fiddes
taking the ball well up, and a good shot
from Goudie almost found the mark. The
sailors had not. as yet properly settled
down to their game and were not sure
of themselves, the glaring sun no doubt
having a disastrous effect on their play.
Another attack on the tars' goal result
ed in Fiddes putting through for Scot
land with a swift shot from close in
Scotland, 2; Icarus, 0.
The tars seemed nettled at this reverse
in fortune and considerable talk was in
dulged in by several of their players.
They soon returned to center field, how
ever. an dagain kicked off. Bottomly was
instrumental in checking their career,
ard placed the ball well up to Boyle,
who at once took up the running, and
some fine passing by the Scotch front
rank was seen at this stage.
The thistles were undoubtedly having
the best OF the game so far and were not
long in again adding to their score, this
| time by Goudie with a fine shot .The
tars seemed hopelessly out of it. and de-
spondingly returned to mid-feld, where
they again kicked off
| Give and take mid-field play followed,
and the whistle sounded with the half
time score standing Scotland, 3; Icarus. 0.
| The five minutes interval was gladly
welcomed by the players, who seemed
to be suffering considerably from the ex-
cessive heat, more especially the sturdy
Jacks.
| The whistle sounded for the re-start
! and Boyle soon kicked off for the this
| ties, who were now playing down-hill.
! A good run by the thistle front rank was
cleverly checked by Ross, who was play
! ing a sturdy game at back. From his
return the sailors, by good manipulation,
carried the ball well UP and had no diff
ficulty in beating the Scotch backs, but
their parting effort was weak.
| They still maintained the pressure, and
soon their efforts were crowned by sue
cess, the ball glancing through off one
! of the Scotch backs. The sailors now
were stimulated to further efforts, and
showed a great Improvement in their
| play during the first spell.
| They played good football and We're
always dangerous. having many inef-
| fective tries to add to their score. Fen
wick was always safe and kept his goal
I - i,
| sailors were now very common and OF
the heartiest description imaginable. The
game at this stage was inclined to be
fast despite the sweltering weather, and
great efforts We're made by both teams.
The Scotch front rank now had a turn
| at attacking, and rained in shot after
shot only to be saved in brilliant fashion
by Stead, who throughout played fault
! less game. Shots from Goudie and
Boyle looked dangerous, but Stead saved
again and again.
| Fiddes also had grand shot for goal
only to be sent to the same fate. Sew
eral corners were granted the Scotch
| team, but try as they liked they could
not penetrate the sound defense of the
visitors. From corner by Lennox, Fid-
des got on the bail and banged in a ter
rife shot which looked suspiciously like a
goal but was not granted. A re-awaken-
Ing by the tars somewhat relieved mat
tiers. and from this time TO the end they
were always dangerous. and looked like
scoring, but always failed, at the last
moment experiencing very hard luck, one
shot hitting the upright and glanctng
past. The whistle sounded soon after
this and a very enjoyable and exciting
game ended Scotland. 8; Icarians 1.
For the sailors, Stead, Ross, Stone,
Stiles. Thorp, Mcdonald, Milne, Jeandron
and Pitcher all played well and carried
forlorn hope with great gusto and de-
liberation. For the thistles Bottomly
