The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-01-21


AS anticipated in the Advertiser
week ago, the Males carried just
few guns too many for the Iolanis at
''sOcker" yesterday afternoon. They
won an exciting and interesting game
by the close score OF ) goals to 2, and by
so doing go to the head of the league
= table, in which, by the way, points is
credited for a win and l point for
drawn game.
The Punahous and the Y. NJ. c. A.
created a surprise by playing tie, the
second to the credit of the P. a. C's
So far the Puns. have neither scored
a goal nor been scored against, a re-
markable record.
The latter game was played first and
created great enthusiasm. The Puma
nous. it was expected, would win
handily, but the Christians showed
wonderful Improvement and gave their !
opponents all they wanted to do in or |
der to avoid defeat. The Initials have
evidently a future before them, if not |
this season, next.
Both games were evenly contested !
and much better playing was exhibited !
than has SO far been the case this sea- |
son. Some very clever kicking and
tricky passing was done and the crowd
was not slow to applaud when occasion
gave an excuse for so doing.
PUNAHOUS VS.. Y. M. C. A.
The lineup for the first game was as
follows:
YM c. A-Goal, Beardmore; backs,
Turner, Macaulay; halves, Gill, Spald-
inc leo ar6S /
Waterhouse, Robbins, Haley, Oss.
Punahous-Goal, A. A. Cation; backs,
w. Soper, G. Fuller; half backs, r.
A. Lowrey; forwards, W.
Campbell, c. Cooke, r. r. Cation, J.
H. Cation, ]. L. Cockburn.
On the kickoff the Y. NJ. G. A. quick
ly took the ball to the Punahous goal
but the Puns. Immediately secured
possession and it was not long before
Soper conferred neatly and a chance
to open the score was missed. For
some time the Puns. continued to camp
in the Christians territory.
Robbins had an opportunity to notch
one for the Initials but failed, pausing
too long in judging his kick and hav-
ing his eye wiped by Fuller, who played
one of his best games.
Towards the end of the first half
Turner barely missed a chance to head ,
the ball through from a corner kick,
Bob Cation saving the situation. Jack ,
Cation was playing very energetic
game If there was as much result as
effort to his play he would be a wonder. I
The z. NJ C. A. finished the first 6
very strongly.
The Puns. started the second period j.,
with rush and a weak shot proved I
futile. A corner for the Puns. followed s
md then the Christians got the ball. i
splendid center by Robbins being f
spoiled in the kick.
Punahous came tearing up the field
md Turner cleared just in the nick of q
ime, being well cheered for his splen T
lid work.
Luck favored the Y. NJ. G. A. for ,
ime and Waterhouse nearly did the :
rick on Oss's pass. Fullers good work Z
It back hereabouts noticeable, his
'eefy kicks helping out his side con-
iderably.
Punahous again became aggressive
nd looked like scoring, the ball strik-
1g the cross-bar.
Y. M c. A threatened and took a Il
hot or two at goal but there was P
othing doing in the way of scoring. II
Luck was evidently perching on the Y. :,
[. C. a. banner, for Beardmore fun
led a kick and was helped out of O.
cry tight place by Turner
Lowrey made palpable use of his w
ands soon after but the referee did d
OF see it and a free kick was not -
warded. l.
Punahou cornered and McCorriston
early converted. The whistle blew as
it'll a pot shot taken at Beardmore's
