There was a very small crowd out
10 watch the most exciting and closely
contested games of soccer ever seen
here. at the league grounds yesterday
afternoon. But what was lacking IN
Numbers was more than made up for
in enthusiasm and, especially during
the second game, there was a fine ex-
tihitiop Of erudite roofing, led and IN
situated by that great Megaphone KEEL
1att who. with his mighty voice, stop
ned the rain and even caused the wind
10 moderate.
Both games were intensely close and
avc;ting to watch. The high wind that
blew straight down the field from the
mapka end. made it very hard for those
defending the makai goal, but there
we're occasional grand bursts of speed
an the part of the makai forwards ana
there were times when the mauka goal
was threatened, in fact, one goal was
actually scored there.
1t must be admitted, even by the
Males, that this particular goal was a
auke. The Male forwards had rushed
10 the front of the High goal and Bob
Chillingworth ran out to clear lie

heather struck Mott square in she back'

and went clean through the middle OF
the goal.
Weather Not SO Bad.
Anart from the high wind that was
allowing. the weather was delightful
Practically no rain fell during the az
4ernoop and those who did not go out
an account of the weather, missed a
eouple of really brilliant games.

Two Good Backs.
The feature of the day was the work
Aone nv the backs of the Male and
pnuahon teams. Both High goals were
.sored through center field after run
nd there was not a single instance
in which they passed Mullen. On every

Forward. he took the ball away and
returned either down the field, or on
anne occasions when he was hard press

erav,s first appearance since the game
rith the Bedford, in which he made
zueh q good impression. If the halves
and forwards on those two teams played

as these two men. they would be very
much the stronger for it.
Male Forwards Improved.
The Maize forward line showed {

The High team played man shor

Henry been there with his strong boo

doubt that the Males would have ha
another tale to tell.
