4 MIGHTY
STRUGGLE:
football Leaders
to Battle for
Victory.

Interest is steadily growing in the
big Association football match between
the Honelulus and the Male Ilimas to
be played on Saturday and a splendid
game is eagerly looked forward to by
players and spectators alike.
According to rumor both clubs are
experiencing some difficulty in getting
their teams fixed to their liking. The
Males. especially. have an awkward
problem to solve as several of their
men are under the weather, and they
have practically no reserves to call
upon.
Boyle, their clever center forward.
has been indisposed and absent from
practice for several weeks. Landslide
is just recovering from the effects of
bly, interfered with his training, while
Fenwick, whom the Males had finally
decided to entrust with the good posi-
ton. was unfortunate enough to
wrench his knee at practice on Tues
day. and it is question if he will be
fit for Saturday.
Captain Robert Anderson is no novice
at team building, however He prom
ises to have eleven men in the field,
who will give the Honolulus pretty
hard rub for premier league honors.
and may even surprise his opponents
by the astute arrangement of his team.
The Ronolulus without doubt have
the better balanced forward line, ana
if Goudie at center is not quite the
equal of Boyle, who is wonderful goal
getter, they have in McWhirter the
best wing player in Honolulu. The
Males strong point is their defense
both at half and full back, and it Will
be a treat to see McGill and Anderson
pit their strength and cunning against
Fiddes and McWhirter. McGiH is the
best full back playing this season, ana
never plays finer game than when the
odds are against him. His magnificent
display against the "Warspite's'
deadly forwards last year was some
thing to be remembered
Both Males and Hcnolulus are in fine
training; Goudie particularly has been
showing exceptional form of late and
Saturdays match will be a struggle to
the finish as the winners are almost
certain to annex the coveted pot"
The game will commence at 4:15 p. m,
and the line up will be as follows:
HonoIuius-Goal, Andrews; backs, Glea
