wind which prevailed during the last
half, the Association football game
played last Saturday afternoon be-
tween the Iolanis and the Male Ilimas

no wind, was decidedly the best OF the
game, the last part Of the second lack
ing interest. The Males had the up

game, scoring goal. After that the
playing was rather even and slow I'M
til the last part OF the half. when the
Iolanis braced up and carried the ball
down into Male territory, where Woo.
who played brilliant game through
out, succeeded In making a goal. There
were couple Of spirited scrimmages
In front Of both goals. which failed OF
any result. In the second half. the
high wind which sprung up suddenly
prevented scoring. The game ended
In tie. the score being one goal for
