MALES DEFEAT LEAGUE IN BEST SOCKER
CANT. OF THE ENTREE=s%AS0N

The hundred or. so people who vistet
the ball park Saturday afternoon u
see the Males hook up with the Res
OF the League eleven, certainly go
their moneys worth.
The game. which was far and away
the best played here this season, wa.
a fine exhibition OF Association foot.

the kind of game which, IL more FIRE.
quent, would quickly popularize socksi
in Honolulu. Even the small boys or
the fence grew enthusiastic.
The Rest had the ball In the enemy's
territory during the greater part of the
game, although the Males won by the
score of 2 goals to nil. One Of these
goals was scored soon after the start
and the other was secured from a
penalty kick.
The Males by winning set the seal
on their seasons fame. They made
far better use Of their opportunities
than did their opponents and the play
Of their backs was a treat to witness.
There isn't pair Of backs in the
league that can touch McGill and An
derson. Stanley Beardmore is better
than either as an individual player but
he has to shine by himself on account
of lack of a partner Of his own caliber.
Percy Morse is about the only local
player who has successfully and consis-
tently defied McGill and Anderson. He
had method all his own but which
was wonderfully effective. He would
run up close, kick the ball fairly hard
and then rush past the backs. His
speed helped him out in this maneuver,
for before the backs had turned to
attend to the ball, Morse. had them
beaten.
The Rest of the League wore white
uniforms, and the Males donned their
familiar green and gold.
Neither Robert nor Jack Cation were
able to play yesterday for the whites
and Churton and Hickman filled their
places on the forward line. Another
reserve on this side was Half-back J.
Anderson who played vice Eddie
Desha. Mon Yin would have substi-
tuted for Desha had he been on the
ground few minutes sooner.
The only change in the Males team
as advertised was that Foster Davis
filled Fred Bailey's position as a for
ward, the latter being indisposed.
]. L. Cockburn refereed and j. H.
Fiddes and H. Bailey were the lines
men.
At $3.50 p. m. the eleven took the
field, lining up as follows:
Rest of the League-Colors, white.
Goal, Dixon; backs, Stanley Beard
more, Macconel (capt.); half-backs. j.
Anderson, J. Clarke, E. Grune; for
wards Hickman, Churton, Woo, Fer
nandez, Oss.

c. McGill, r. Anderson; .half-backs, E.
Kellett, D. Center, R. Chillingworth;
forwards H. S. Gray (capt.), w. jamie
son, ]. Catteral, F. Davis E. Kea.
The above line up Is remarkable in
that 1t doesn't contain a weak player.
Six of the eleven were Diamond Head
men.
THE FIRST HALF.
Macconel won the toss and the whites
kicked off from the mauka end of the
ground. The ball was soon forced into
Male territory.
Gill got away with the ball which .
was rushed down the field, Gray es-
saying shot which proved to be sue
cessful. This was about four minutes
from the start. Goalkeeper Dixon
cleared poorly, practically knocking
the ball onto an opponents foot.
Soon after the kickoff. the whites ..
got within striking distance but moth
ng resulted. Both sides were playing {
we'll, Catterals fine footwork and
'hifty lodging, in particular evokins
applause. /
The whites continued to have the I
,est of the play; all they lacked was
particularly on the right
wing. C
Hickman sent in feeble shot from e
)ss' fine center which should have been ii
cored from. Shortly afterward Belser II
leverly cleared hot shot by Woo. 6
The whites managed to net the ball A
nut the goal was ruled off-side. Fer
andez shot and again Belser saved.
Fernandez had another "
nance to score but made a mess of 1t, h
alling down on an easy shot. s,
The Males pressed and Johnny ii
larke saved a dangerous situation.
Another shot was barely saved by
'ixon who, so far. had not appeared M
t his best. Another shot by a Male w
ian, however. was nobly punched by 81
le whites custodian, the ball going pl
early half the length of the field.
Whites got in front OF the Males
pal, and Hickman attempted to score Oh
Woo's pass. on the next play Hick- nj
an narrowly escaped heading the ball be
to the net, McGill interposing in the oh
ok OF time. Oss next took a shot off al
zoos pass but nothing came of 1t. ia
At this stage of the game Catteral
