SAILORS DEFEAT
A MIXED TEAM
Bedford Soccer Players Lend
Three Men and Then Win
Easily.
II. M. S. Bedford, 4; Aliiolani, /.

With the assistance of three sailors
from the Bedford, the Aliiolani boys
managed to put up very good game
of soccer against the cruiser team at
the college field yesterday afternoon.
The winners made three goals in the
first half and one in the second, while
the school kids scored their one in the
second half.
1t was expected that there would be
some kind of a grown-up team to play
the sailors, but not a single town player
turned up, and SO the boys at the col
lege did their best. They picked out
their eight best men and took the three
subs that the Bedford manager had
brought out with him.
Outweighed as they were, the local
lads put up sturdy game, and with
three big sailors in the back field to
protect them, they made an excellent
offense.
The Bedfords played with the wind
the first half, but it was more than
halfway through the first period be
fore they scored. The defense of the
losers was great. Ames in goal and
that big Fitzgerald and Tuson for
backs kept the ball clear of the goal
through many hard attempts by the
opposing forwards.
Had it not been for the borrowed
defenses the score would have been
very much larger. But Tuson, with his
headwork, and Fitzgerald, with a very
lively boot, that sent the ball way up

it, saved the losers from many goal
being registered against them.
The visitors We're badly handicapped
by the narrowness of the field, but they
did not seem to mind this They were
out for a jolly good game, and they
had it. Their headwork was quite a
revelation to the local players, and the
way they caught the ball fairly with
their heads and passed it over in just
the right place was worth the trip out
to watch.
Smith, the Bedford center-forward,
scored the first goal. There was some
thing of mix-up in front of the goal.
The ball came out by the left touch
line, and Sullivan centered neatly to
Smith, who booted through
Less than two minutes after the kick
off at halfway, Thomas saw a chance
and scored neatly with a clean angle
shot that placed the ball just out of
reach of Ames fingers. Soon after that
there was a combined threaten of the
A.iiolani goal. Ben Kolohia tried to
save, but was charged off just as he
was about to kick, and the ball can
noned off his leg through the goal.
In the second half things were more
even. The youngsters had the slope and
wind in their favor and soon threatened
the sailors goal. Finally, Ben Kolohia
had a chance for shot. He booted
hard and straight, and the ball found
its way round the protecting limbs Of
Scholey.
The Bedfords scored their last goal
after several attempts, which failed
through the excellent Bookkeeping of
Ames. Finally, Thomas took a neat
pass from Sullivan and put through
for the final goal of the game. The
