At no soccer game OF the series has
there been anything like the enthus.
Iasm that was shown yesterday. The
supporters Of the four league teams
realized that yesterdays struggle was
to be the supreme test Of strength, and
they turned out en- masse to encour.
age their champions. Long before the
first game was called, the grandstand
on the league grounds WAS figlled, and
by the time the players trotted out on;
to the field. any old room was at
premium. .r..s ,..
The first game was between the
Diamond Heads and tho Punahcus. The
latter were the tail-enders. according
to the score table. but the manner In
which they had managed to tie the
: topnotchers gave them a certain
standing, though they had no victories
| to their credit.
For several days rumors had been
drifting around that the Punahous had
strengthened their team greatly. and
when the bunch trotted out onto the
field, It was watched with GREATNESS
interest.
The Diamond Heads were In fine fet
tie and the game started off with a
snap that gave promise Of excitement
The spectators were not disappointed
there was something doing right from
the start. The Punahous were out af-
ter the scalps of their opponents, while
they. In turn, were determined to hang
onto their laurels n possible.
Back and forth. from one goal to an,
other, the ball was buffetted-one side
seeming to have the advantage for an
instant, and the other then seeming In
line for victory. Twice the Punahou
men booted the ball into the vital ter.
rtory, jolting up score of two goals,
The Diamond Heads tried to better the
performance, but the tail.enders proved
too strong. and the umpires whistle
on the last half. found Punahous the
victors, by a scare Of 81. @
The second game was the real con.
test of the day. With the Males and
Y. N. c. A, tied. but the letter men
already having one victory on their
side, the situation was one to con
Jure with. Both teams were confident
OF victory, and both were determined
to occupy the coveted place at. the
head of the percentage column.
The Y. NJ, G. A. seemed outc!assed
however. Strive ~as the association
men would, they could not drive the
ball into the Male goal. Though they
contested every foot of ground, they
on the other hand. were unable to keeI
their opponents out of their territory
and the result was 80 victory fol-
the Males.
