Punahou 2, High School /.
Two rafting fast and exciting games
of soccer were played at the league
grounds yesterday afternoon before the
largest crowd that has ever turned out
for the opening game.
Although none of the teams have

en- account of the weather, they show.
ed no in excellent form and neither
of the winners had anything of cinch.
The real feature of the afternoon
was the excellent game put up by the
Iron Works team. Time and time again
they threatened the Male goal but
lacked scoring ability. This was due
rot so much to lack of individual skill
as to a bad habit the forwards have
Of punching and not being in their
places when the ball is passed. But this

future, as the players clearly recognize
their fault and will practise hard for
better teamwork during this week.
Second Game Corker.
The Punahou High School game was
a eorker The winning goal was not
scored until the last minute of play and
it was nip and tuck all the way through.
Both teams looked like scoring at many
stages of the game and it was only the
really beautiful work of Bob Chilling
worth and Patty that prevented the
score from being much larger on both
sides.
The new players all gave satisfac-
tion Mullen, the Male back, played
very creditable game. There is one
thing about his playing that other
backs might learn something from. He
wastes no movement, but is always
there when the ball comes, because he
Keeps his place. Added to this he has
a nice knack of booting the ball away
from dribbler and, with al expert
like MeGill to work with it was a very
hard combination at back that the Ma
lies had
Many of the High School team were
also new to the league and all did well.
Marcus Monsarrat played steady game
at forward as also Frendo and Sing
Hoon. This line lacked in shooting
ability but showed signs of remarkably
good team work in threatening. Broder.
lex, another newcomer, from Aliiolani
College, earned his place by playing a
really excellent game at halfback.
The Games Summed Up.
Henry Chillingworth played his usu.
ally brilliant game at halfback for the
High School team. Macconel for the
Pans. also played a grand game at half
These two players seem to be in a
class by themselves.
To sum up the games yesterday-the
defense in all cases was good. Attack
was good up to a certain point but
shooting was very poor all through
None of the forward lines have had a
chance to shake down into form yet
but next Saturday will doubtless bring
out very much better attack and con.
sequently better defense. The halfbaek
lines on all four teams were perhaps
the best of the players all round.
The First Game.
The Males kicked off and the iron.
workers brought the ball TO halfway
Harry Bailey, who was playing for two
men, as his brother had been delayed
by business and was not there, then
took the ball up the line and eenterej

was blocked and the template kids
cleared. The latter then took a turI
xt threatening but Mullen cleared.
For the next ten minutes of play
she Males were doing most of the at
lacking. Then their opponents made
good forward passing run down the
6eld and shot, but the ball went wide
After that there was another lombard
