HIGH SCHOOL
BADLY BEATEN
Alii0Ianis Win Junior School
Championship at Seeker
Football.

citation Football League was played
yesterday afternoon on the AIiiolani
campus and resulted in a win for the
home team by the handsome score OF
six goals TO nothing. This match en-
titles the AliioIani team to the cham
pionship OF the Junior League, they
having secured seven points and the
Punahous coming second with five.
The record of the champions is four
games played. three won and one
drawn. The Punahous have played
four. won two. drawn one and lost
one.
The game commenced at the sched-
uled time. and the Aliiolanfs immedi-
ately assumed the aggressive. The
wet ground and heavy ball were, how
ever, not conducive to accuracy. but
the combination of the home forward
line was not to be denied, and after
some vigorous play, chiefly from the
three center players, the ball was
lodged in goal by Richard. Upon the
game being resumed. the High School
team got down TO work. and Monsar-
rat, in particular, was to the fore, be-
ing ably seconded by Oss and Biart
Woo and Purvis for the college were
reliable. and the formers kicking
again and again saved the situation.
Al length the High Schools attack
slackeued and the Aliiolani forwards
took their turn. W. Carter now did
good work and passed out to Kalei,
who, however, failed TO connect and
appeared to allow the ball to pass
through him. thus rendering the at
tack futile. He not long after redeem
ed himself by finding the goal for the
college. The home team still continued
to press and before half time Rickard
added another goal to the score.
After the interval the visiting team

the advantage of the hill; the High
School now showed UP well and work
ed together splendidly. Their for
ward especially was conspicuous and
certainly had hard luck in failing to
score on two occasions In one in
stance. after the Aliiolani goalkeeper
had been beaten, Purvis snatched
away what seemed TO be an inevitable
point for the Highs. Biart. White,
Monsarrat and. Marks all played excel
Iently, the latter being invaluable 10
his side.
The AIiiolani backs were given
plenty 10 do. and ii was not until the
half was well advanced that Ben Ka-
nealii registered another goal for the
college by a long. whizzing shot-the
best Of the match-which would have
been a credit TO the senior league. This
fresh success reinspired the Aliiolanis
and they again resumed the aggres-
sive. Richard and Carter attacked
again and again and finally the ball
was once more sent home by Foster,
who had for some time been showing
up wen on the right wing. Foster and
Cockett. who played in this part Of
the college attack. although doing ex-
cellent work, unfortunately kept too
close together and thus neutralized
much Of their effort. Before the wilis-
