MALES DEFEAT
THE ARTILLERISTS

lHL AnlIILEnlSiS :
The Males, for the first time this
season won the football game yester-
day and relegated the Artillery team
to the rear ranks of the League. They
won by score of II to in a fast,
snappy game in which they showed
themselves superior to their opponents
in many respects. The Male team
started off as If they were going to
sweep everything before them, but af-
ter making two touchdowns inside of
eight minutes they were held by the
soldiers during the greater part of the
remainder of the game. The team
practically made three touchdowns, but
a tumble by James just after he was
showed over the line turned the last
touchdown into a touchback which
counted nothing. The Males played
together well, their interference being
hard to break UP. Wright, James and
Jarrett made especially good gains for
that side.
The soldiers were able to make one
touchdown which just saved them
from having goose egg for the sea-
sons work. Although they were
slightly heavier than their opponents.
the speed of the other team more than
balanced its weight. The backs did
not seem to know the signals perfect-
ly, for several times no one was on
hand to take the ball. The team as
a whole did not play together, and al
though fine work was done by individ-
ual members, notably Bennett and
Greenwalt, lis alone could not win
the game.
Yesterdays contest, contrary to the
usual way, settled the question as to
what teams occupy the foot of the
League. Male will occupy third
and the soldiers are the tail-enders.
The contest next Saturday between
Punahou and the II. A. c.. team, will
settle the championship, and the game
itself will undoubtedly be one of the
best ever seen here.
The small crowd which attended yes
terdayas game was mainly composed
Berger's band played before and
during the game.
