EXCITING GAME
BIG CROWD WITNESSED DAsHING
PLAYING ON POLO FIELD YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

Although the Kauai Polo team out
scored the Oahu team yesterday after
noon at the Moanalua park, the game
went to the home team. 1t was a case
of hard luck for the game belonged to
the Kauai players. But a couple of
foul plays and several safeties reduced
the score of the visiting team so as to
enable the Oahu men to beat them 5
to 4h. AS a whole the game was one
of the most exciting and interesting
ever witnessed on this island.
The Improvement that the Kauai
team showed over its previous form of
last Saturday was remarkable. The
horsemanship of both teams was highly
spectacular and the playing was at
times, brilliant. There was a dash
and determination with both teams
that kept the spectators in a constant
state of excitement There was ample
inspiration, for the men to play well,
as the crowd that viewed the game was
the largest seen on the new grounds
The attendance was considerably larger
than that of last Saturday There
was a larger number of conveyances
and the crowd that came in the busses
was much larger.
The game started with the Oahu
players showing much speedier play
ing and apparently better form than
their opponents. They succeeded in
gJtting three goals during the first
period. Castle especially distinguished
himself by making the first and last
goals, the last goal being made after a
very difficult drive at an angle. Dilling-
ham scored the other goalA During
this period Dillingham; and Malina of
Kauai were thrown while in pursuit of
the ball. both horses tripping. Dilling-

head and was slightly stunned. He
resumed play Immediately. 1t was in
! this period that the Kauai team inau-
gurated tactics that enabled them to
hold the local team down to a small
score. Spaulding made it his par
ticular business to attend to Charles
Dole. The result was that Spaulding
rode Dole off constantly and prevented
that crack Oahu player from making
his usual brilliant runs down the field
with the ball.
Two goals were made by Kauai dur
the second period. There was bril-
liant play during the first part of this
period and later the ball had been
placed close to the Kauai goal, c. Rice
of Kauai took possession of the ball
and rode it up the field toward the
/ Oahuan goal. He carried the ball
alone with three, clean powerful
/ strokes assisted by Malina and Spauld-
/ ing who rode off the pursuing Oahu
/ team. Malina scored this goal The
/ second goal was scored by Spaulding.
In the next throw in, Kauai fouled
/ Oahu which with two safeties, took off
one of the goals of the visiting team.
In the third period Kauai scored two
goals by Spaulding and Malina. The
goal that Malina made was probably
the most difficult of the entire days
game as he lifted the ball into the all
and sent it at a difficult angle, high
between the goal posts.
In the last period Dillingham; and
Dole scored goals for Oahu and Ma
lima and Spaulding one each for Kauai
leaving the score to Az in favor OF
the home team.

the German training ship Herzegin
