pAClFlCS MEET
WITH DEFEAT

The Pacifics went down in defeat
yesterday afternoon before the Iolanis.
in Association football, the Iolanis
making .wo well won goals, the Pa
eifcs scoring a goose-egg. This is
the first defeat the Pacifcs have sus-
tanned since their organization.
The grounds were in beastly con-
dition for good playing and at times
when the rain fell in a steady down
pour the game resolved itself into
rnud-bau. There were many humor-
Gus features owing to ungrassed
streaks which were mud holes and
traps for the unwary. Before the
game ended most Of the players were
plastered with mud and were drenched
to the skin Falls were numerous and
no player felt secure while engaged IN
a wild charge up or down the field in
chase of the pigskin. for every time
the players came together with
shock feet few up into the air and
their owners came down upon the turf
with a soft thud.
The Pacifics had the mauka goal
during the first half, The playing was
spirited from the start. The Pacifics
were perhaps over-confde1t OF victory
at the beginning but when the IolaTis
began playing steadily into their ter
ritory the team saw that ii had met its
match The two Andersons on the
Iolani team were d pair OF inyincihles,
but the rising star was the young
Chinese player, Woo, whose head
work, scientific play and general use
fulness in q scrimmage, made him 40
end of admirers. Simpson and Mac
farlane were brilliant in many plays,
but they had two of the hardest play
ers of the Pacifics opposite them,
Churton and Beardmore. CatteraH
and Blacknan were excellent IN close
PLAYING. The ball surged backward
and forward until finally a free kick
from before the Iolanis' goal sent the
ball to center where Macfarlane re-
oeiyed it on his toe, sent it forward,
and followed it closely. lodging Nc
Gin of the Pacifcs. 1t was passed
to center where Woo passed it on TO
Macfarlane, who luckily slipped it by
McGiu. generally an invincible stop
Der and then on a clean kick sent II
through the goal under Duisenberg
hands and feet, scoring one goal.
In the second half the Iolanis guard
al the nauka goal. The Pacif1cs fore
ed the sbalI into Iolani territory ana
made many hard attempts to goal but
were foiled. A big Hawaiian player
secured the ball and toed It close TO
4f,a goal and made a fine kick, passing
Duisenberg with il and another goal
was credited to the Iolanis. " nlle
GRAY of the Pacifcs was carrying the
han down toward the Ioiani goal, with
the best prospects for scoring. he was
trimmed and the referee accorded Inc
Pacifics q free kick. Beardmore es-
saved to kick goal but the rain -so1&e
han missed by several feet He was
given a second try but again failed
stokes and Beardmore formed aA1ylng
combination throughout thu game 2 no
their efforts to score were most cred
liable.
