| AS usual Uncle sam men
with the great reputation have
gone the way of previous teams
that were going to conquer the Islands
In athletics. The great and only FIJI.
teenth Infantry football team suffered
defeat at the hands of the Male Ath.
letic Club team yesterday afternoon In
one of the most grueling games ever
played on a local grid. Every inch Of
ground was fought for by both muscle
and mouth. Captain Waugh of the
Fifteenth, proved a strenuous kicker.
After each down he had some fault to
find and even went so far as to advise
his men to play rough. His wild meth.
cd of handling the team brought forth
laughter from the spectators.
The soldier boys, however, were not
without their good points. They
worked hard to win and at times made
desperate stands when their line was
In danger. They showed particularly
well in the first period of the first half
hut after this they became slow.
Irish" Plunkett. the human loco
motive. proved the kingpin of the day
| This husky lad could not be stopped
lie wriggled, crawled, bucked and
ounded his way through the soldiers
In q manner that gained for him much
applause and for his team many a
yard.
Harry James also did brilliant work
behind the line. Harry directed tho
Males in a heady manner and succeed.
ed in scoring in each half.
The soldiers made their only score 8
minutes after play started. In fake
play, where the ball was booted slowly
along the ground for 10 yards. a sol.
der fell on 1t and 1t was their ball on
the Males 35.yard line. BY series
of mass plays the soldiers carried the
ball over the line and kicked the goal.
The boys in blue tried some old tricks
| nuring the game but they failed to
work. With one.half minute left TO
play, after the Males had scored their
second touchdown-the Males kicked
off. The man who received the kick
| endeavored to shove the ball inside the
jersey of his team mate. This is the
old Carlisle Indian trick but II did not
work with the Males.
Plunkett for the Males made their
first touch down 10 seconds before
| time was up in the first half and the
second touch down was made by him
! minute before time was up in the
second half.
In the first half Plunkett sprlnted
| so yards for a touch down but the
score was not allowed, due to the fact
that the captain of the soldiers was
yelling time" when the ball was put
In play. The referees whistle had not
blown and the score was legitimate.
On account of being visiting team the
soldiers were given the benefit of the
decision.
Coach Benson deserves much credit
for the manner in which his team
played. With some of their best men
out of the game the Males played well
team that went on the field, in fact
this Is the first time that they have
been together. Clark, Lightfoot and
Sumner of the High School did good
work Males at quarter played q
steady game and handled the pigskin
well. Plunkett displayed all of his old
time form and proved Just as hard tc
stop as ever. Buckle at center was q
tower of strength and took good care
of his man. Kellett, new man, wa;
put in at left tackle and with little
more experience will make winner
venhuizen played his usual consistent
game.
