FOOTBALL SEASON

against the Artillery team. fThe polo
analua, but there should be a good
turnout to witness next Saturdays
game.
The field has been changed somewhat
since it was used by the baseball
teams. The football field runs diagonal
ly across the grounds with the goal
served seat section.
1t was impossible to mark out the
field SO that it would be broadside to
the grandstand on account of lack of
space, SO that when the ball is in play
at the makai end of the field, it is diff
cult to see we'll from the stands. How
ever, the football field is roped off and
spectators are allowed on all parts of
the grounds outside the ropes.
Concerning the game itself it was a
case where weight told. The soldiers
worked their hardest but could not stop
the rush of the heavier H. A. c. team
composed of such men as Joy, McDuftie
and Houghtailing. The latter was
tower of strength for his team, and
smashed through the opposing line time
after time. Blaisden made some splen-
did gains on end runs and did some
good kicking, while Renear at full
played like an old timer, though yes
terday marked his first appearance on
the gridiron.
The Artillery had so many men laid
out that at the end of the game they
were playing almost an entire new
team. Some of the men taken out were
not hurt, but Benson wanted to play
some of his subs.
Behr was one of the best players of
the soldiers team. He played a fast
game and tackled hard, but he was
taken out of the game on account of
injuries.
Coach Woods has evidently worked
wonders with his team, for not only do
Honolulus play we'll together, but they
are quick at starting. being much
quicker than their opponents yester-
day.
The Artillery appeared in blue uni
form, and the H. A. C.'s in red.
FIRST HALF (25 MINI.

makai goal They also kicked off. The
ball went 35 yards. Fernandez caught

before he was downed. Blaisdell kick
ed the ball back 40 yards and Covel of
the Artillery's caught. After a couple,
of bucks the latter team kicked to
Blaisdell who was downed as soon as
he caught the ball. A gain of 2 yards
was made on a buck, and then Renear
took the ball between left guard and
tackle for a gain of yards. Artillery
held and Blaisdell kicked. The ball was
fumbled by the soldiers but they finally
secured the ball and kicked it back So
yards. 1t bounded outside and the H.
A. C.'s took it on their opponents 40
yard line. Sullivan and Renear car
ried the ball to the % yard line and
then Houghtailing was brought back
to open up holes. He gained yards,
then Joy went through the line for the
same distance, and followed it again
with a buck which gained yards. On
the net play he got within one foot of
the goal line and on the net play he
made the first touchdown, fourteen
minutes after the beginning of the
game. Blaisdell KICKED the goal.
Houghtailing kicked off for the Ho-
nolulus, but the ball was brought back
and kicked again as a man was Off

lerys kicked but the ball was brought

off the field by Whitehouse for interfer-
ing with the Artillery fullback when he
was punting. The soldiers kicked 10
yards. In the first play Blaisdell made
% yard run around left end. An
artillery man jumped on Blaisdell after
he was down and cut him up some, and
Kanae, the H. a. c. fullback, was ruled
off on account of his rough playing.
Sullivan now carried the ball around
left end to within a yard of the goal.
On the net play Blaisdell. who was
playing quarter, carried the ball over
for the second touchdown. Inasmuch
as the rules state that the man who
receives the ball from center can only
run with it between the % yard lines,
Blaisdell could not have taken the ball.
but the officials did not notice the
violation of the rules and the touch
down was allowed. Blaisdel kicked
the goal. Coach Benson of the Artil-
Ierys stated that If his team scored
within six points of their opponents,
he would protest the game on account
of BlaisdelFs play. However, as the
the team did not score at all no pro-
test was entered.
Houghtailing kicked off to the SOL
dier's again. The ball went over the
line but an Artillery man secured it
and ran it out one yard onto the field.
He narrowly escaped being showed over
the line.

yards for being offside.

through their opponents line. They
