MALES DEFEAT
THE HONOLULUS.
One Touchdown by
Line Bueking
Wins.


Male, 5; Honolulu Athletic Club, 0.
In a game devoid of features, where
kicking wses all pJt precluded by the
high wind and in which line bucking
took all the energy of the players, leav-
ing no chance for the spectacular run
ming which adds so much to the enjoy
ment of the game, the light Male team
bested the heavy H. A c. eleven. The
single touchdown was made by john
son, the Zebra half back as the con-
Guiding play of thirty yards of straight
bueking between left tackle and guard
iof the Honolulus and was the thirteenth
play of the same nature
The crowd which saw the contest was
small but none the less enthusiastic,
there being some three hundred people
about the gridiron during the game,
who seemed to be well pleased by the
exhibition, despite the gale which made
an overcoat necessary and which placed
the man with tightftting cap in the
ranks of the comfortable. The band
played enlivening airs and added to the
enjoyment of the afternoon, but while
the cold air put snap into the play of
the men, the spectators were not at ease
during the time of it's continuance.
The scoring was confined to the one
touch made by the Males in the first
half. and although Honolulu got down
| to within ten yards of the enemies goal
they could not go over the mark. The
play was made too hard for the men, as
there were only five punts and practi-
cally no end runs tried, the time being
consumed with line bucks, hard and
/ fast it is true, and certainly of the
kind which try the temper and wind of
men trained in this climate.
| Honolulu benefited most by the work
of Fernandez. The plucky back was
used twice as much as any other player
and he seldom failed to make his gain
though he was winded toward the end
| and his use was not as advantageous as
earlier in the conflict. Kaminsky prov
ed a failure on line plays, though his
weight showed fairly in the defense.
He would not start and struck the line
standing UP, depending seemingly on
the weight of his fellows to put him
through. Blaisdell was as usual hard
worker and put in one good punch
| through the line. though he had no
chance to show his speed and wriggling
qualities.
Males won their game principally
through the hole which was made by
the absence from the line of Isaac
Cockett, who was kept out. by illness.
ChilIingworth went into his place in the
first half and it was through the gap
between the guard and tackle that the
stripes went. JOY played far over and
this left hole between him and Chill
lingworth which was used to advantage
by the Zebra backs. The line was ma
terially strengthened in the second half
when Kauhane was put into guard and
Chillingworth went to end relieving
Scott, who was deemed top light for the
place. JOY and Lane played great
games at tackle. They We're generally
successful when they had the ball and
they got into the game well, JOY get
ting through several times and stopping
his man. Had Lane and Joy been sent
with the ball more frequently especial
ly when the team was coming down the
field in the second half, when ten plays
covered thirty yards for the Reds,
there might be a different story to tell.
