HOW THE GAME WAS PLAYED.
| In opening the game Dillingham; got
the ball and in three strokes carried
| it through for the first goal. There were
two hot scrimmages on the next fall
of the ball, Won Tempsky backed it and
Dole cleverly caught it. He also got
T. Baldwin's drive and carried it down
field for a goal. Maui had to take a
safety during the rallies. The play con-
tinued fast and hard, the ball going up
and down field, over the line at each
end, and finally Dillingham; with a long
drive out was able to follow on, picking
UP stop of Won Tempsky's and fore
ing the ball over for the third time.
There was lively scrimmage on the
next try, each man getting into the
play, and in the fast work in front of
the goal, F. Baldwin crossed Dillingham;
for the first foul. The play following
was all Baldwin's however for he drove
the length of the field, the ball striking
one of the posts where Wilbur pushed
it through for Maui's first count. In
the next skirmish Single showed, driv-
ing down and finally scoring. taking the
ball from Won Tempskys backhand.
Another foul by Wilbur and one for
Maui on account of Shingles cross ride
made the score for the period 5A to
~.
When the second period was only
twenty seconds old Dillingham; scored
by a great cross drive from Shingles
forward stroke. 1t took twelve minutes
to add the next point, for the driving
was hard but not accurate. There were
q half dozen crossings of the field and
Oahu had to take a safety on one rally
at the line, and was given a foul for
Dole's cross ride. Finally Dole got a
clear stroke and sending the ball for
ward Dillingham; made the count With
clear drives Maui got the ball down
field but missed the goal, the period
closing with the score IA to "a.
For the third Wilbur and F. Bald
win cleverly backed the ball as advanc-
ed by Single, but he at last got con-
troll and scored in quick time. There
were couple of scrimmages down
field, the ball being carried over by
each side, until on a drive out of Won
Tempsky Single sent forward and on
F. Baldwin being unable to drive and
accomplishing only a stop Judd scored
the goal in eight minutes. There was
deal of miXup in the next try and
it was only after three minutes that
Judd. aided by Dillingham; and Dole got
the goal. Wilbur got the ball out of
the next bunch at the center and in
three strokes, in thirty-ffve seconds, |
scored the goal. After some fine work
by all, Wilbur having the control of the |
bail most of the time, he was able to
make the last goal for Maui at the very
close of the period. Maui having fouled /
Oahu the score was now 1024 to 334.
The last period saw four points adj
ded to Oahu's score. 1t took three min
utes of hard play to get the first, one
stop being made when F. Baldwin out
raced the field and killed the ball, but
Dillingham; was fast behind and scored |
the point. BY hard team work the next
was taken in about the same time, Dill
bingham getting the ball and by fine
keeping it under control and
driving over the line. Less than min
ute was occupied for the next, Dilling-
ham getting the ball after Dole had
handled Won Tempsky's stop, and send
ing it through, duplicating the feat on
Wilburs drive out of scrimmage just a
minute later The ball was on Maui's
goal line at the end.
The only seemingly serious accident |
that of Single. was caused by his horse
stepping on the ball as he and F. |
Baldwin raced down field. 4 foul al
lowed Oahu because OF a ride of Bald
win was not due to any collision at that
time
