SECOND MATCH OF
THE CHAMPIONSHIP

TNHE second match of the cham
s. pionship series is down for de-
- cision today, when Scotland and
Iolani United take the field at the
Punahou campus. DR.. Smith has very
literally allowed the excellent ground
of Oahu College TO be used for all the
championship matches, which will not
only contribute largely to the quality
of the game, but to the comfort of the
increasing number of spectators which
the Association game is attracting.
The Scots this afternoon viii be
without the services of their regular
center forward, Goudie, who is suffer-
ing from the effects of fractured
rib-the legacy of the English club. He
is progressing favorabiy, and hopes to
again put in an appearance in the re-
turn match with Eng and. Today MIR.
Cockburn takes his place.
With this exception the Thistles win
be the same eleven as last week, and
will no doubt infiict decisive defeat
on the college boys. The latter are,
however, appearing in full strength
and will make the Scots work for ALI
their goals. Their defense is good,
and all the backs play determined
game with plenty Of dash. This is par
ticulariy true of the brothers Andersen,
who should give the opposing forwards
plenty of work.
The English team are taking the adj
vantage of an off day to put in some
needed practice at Maklkl. Mr.. Sim
Lot, t. ,eri,a Of q n
ers" against them, and a very good
display should be given. I he two weak
spots in the English team at present
are the wing forwards and the half
back line. The latter hang too tar
back to be any real support to their
forwards. They must be made to real
ize that theirs is an offensive, as Well
as a defensive game, before much inn
provement can be made. The wing for
wards are at present so very much
: in want of practice, and in the last
game one was practically noa-eXistent-
The attack thus devolved upon four
forwards, unsupported by line Of
halves.
The half-back should follow his for
wards a any distance from five to ten
yards, and is little use to the attack
II he exceeds the latter distance.
AT present all the Association teams
contain one or two Americans, each
ol WHOln dTe now beginning TO move
in the matter of having a national club
of their own. They intend organizing
as soon as the league program Is over,
and will probably challenge each Of
the other teams to a friendly game.
This will put them in a position to
enter the league championship on level
terms with England and Scotland. An
Hawaiian club is on the cards in addi-
ton, and there will ere long be teams
representing all the important nation
alities in Honolulu.
