BEATS k|DO|ES
Aliiolani Soccer Players Put
Up Good Game, but Are
Defeated.
Cambrians, 3; .Aliiolani, 1.

Assisted by the addition of Elisha
Andrews, Marcallino and Bell, the Ali
olani Riddles put up remarkably good
game of soccer against the Cambrian
team yesterday afternoon on the Ali
olani campus. The sailors won by q
score of 8 to l, but they had their
! work cut out doing it and they found
the youngsters not easy marks.
/ The ground was very sticky, which
! made quick work almost impossible and
the ball was fluky in its bouncing. This
gave the youngsters an advantage
which did something to counterfeit the
superior weight and experience of the
visitors. The Aliiolani kids were able
to turn themselves around more quick
ly than the sailors and their condition
and activity came very near winning
the game for them.
The Cambrian team is Individually
quite first class. One could see that al
they need is some practise together and
chance to get into footer condition
to be very dangerous aggregation OF
Founders. Burns, the center for
ward, was an especial mark for the
admiration Of the boys on the side
lines, ON account of his wonderfully
quick foot work and the clever way
in which he shot the ball through the
goal after neat save by Robinson.
During the first half the visitors were
playing two short. Then Querstret and
a companion who had had hard time
to find where the ground was, came
along and the kiddies were up against
half. Querstret went in goal and did
good work, saving some hard shots
from the toe of Marcallina who had
the wind just right to aid him in cross
shots.
The feature of the game was the Sec
ond goal scored by Burns for the visit
ors. Robinson had saved neatly and
booted the ball hard for a long clear.
Burns blocked and with very quick
and clever movement of his right leg
set the ball and then shot it through
the goal just where Robinson could not
reach it.
The losing defense was good. Rick
ard and Broderick had to work over.
time to save many shots from going
through the goal and to break up the
heavy attack of the visitors, but they
covered themselves with glory and the
sailors on the sidelines all spoke with
admiration of the clever game that the
youngsters put up.
The visiting defense was very classy.
There were times when Andrews, Mar
callino and Bell got away after q pass
from Hoapili, and it seemed certain
that they would score but the backs
nearly always broke up the combina,
ton and, when this failed Querstret was
there with the long mitt and listed the
ball out of danger.
Sailors Score First.
The first score was made by Bath
who was following up forward attack
and was in good position to block a
clearance kick and shoot. Then the
Aliiolani side bucked up and made sew.
eral threatening rushes. Hoapili came
in from the left wing just III time to
capture nice pass from Andrews and
shoot through.
There was no more scoring during
the first half and the whistle blew
for half time with the score tied to /.
With the addition of the other two
men he visitors took heart of grace
and seemed to have much better com
bination than during the first part of
the game. The halves fed their for
wards better and the latter did some
fine passing in spite of the mud and
the high cross wind that was blowing.
Burns scored after six minutes of
play and then the kiddies did some
threatening on their own account. They
forced to two corners but Querstret
put in long clear and Lieutenant
Boyce got away. He sent TO Harlow
who gave to Burns and almost before
the spectators knew what had happen
ed the Alliolani goal was being threat
ened.
There was mixup in front of goal
during which Robinson saved twice,
then Harlow found an opening and
booted through for the last goal OF the
game. The last few minutes were all
in favor of the visitors but the wind
and Robinson combined to foil them
and there was no more scoring.
The game was a great success and
all the players seemed to enjoy it thor
oughly. 1t is a pity that the visitors
are to leave so soon as little practise
together would make them very
formidable team for anybody to play
and game between them and an all
school team would be well worth watch
ing.
