Standing of Interscholastic Soccer

The opening games of the InterschoIas-
tic Soccer League were played in squat
~ weather at Kamehameha grounds
yesterday afternoon In the first game
the High School defeated the A1iiolani
boys by l to O and the Kamehameha
and Punahou teams tied with no score
From start to finish it was good soc
Ger that was played. In spite of the
gusty wind that swept down the valley
and seemed to take delight in alternat-
ing delightful lulls with unexpected
swoops of disastrous air, the lads played
a careful and heady game throughout
and there was some exciting play for
every minute The word heady is aptly
used in the case of the Hams who used
that portion of their anatomy to grand
effect, in fact several goals were saved
by timely head-punting of the ball away
from danger.
The only goal of the day was scored
by Abe Norton of the High School
after five minutes of play and he head
ed the ball through so neatly that spec,
tators interested in both sides applaud.
! ed loudly.
The feature of the afternoon was
without doubt, the good game put up
by the Aliiolani boys. This is Their
first attempt at first team soccer and
everybody, including their opponents
were well pleased to see how clever g
game they put up. Foster and Rickard
were the stars of the Kaimuki team
and the latter did yeoman service il
defense.
The High School was crippled, notably
by the absence of Henry Chillingwortl
who has been dallying with that vault
) ing ambition thing. This good athlet,
, recently played in five different SPORT
: on five successive days and felt that h
/ was hardly fit to play in hard mattel
; yesterday. One of these events, by tn
way, was three mile running race.
The second game was a very har
one. Both teams were keyed to kee
, desire to win and both were as fit a
schoelbeys can be. From first to las
8 each and every man on the field wa
: kept jumping and attack. and defens
: alternated with great rapidity.
8 Mckenzie, the Kan outside right fol
: ward, was there with speed and cleve
! centering passes, while Mon Yin an
Sing Chong for the Punahous wer
o working their skill and speed overtime
A feature of this game was the cleve
6 clearance of Bower, the Kan right full
. who has the stunt of lofting the ba
clear and far down to a fine poin
. There were many times when the Kal
, goal was in danger that score wa
E saved only by Bower s hard clearance
. j. c. Anderson refereed both game
to the entire satisfaction of the spe'
tators and with no after growing
the players. This means that h
t refereed laundering good game. Their
0 was big crowd of spectators along tn
I sidelines amongst whom were observe
d many players in the soccer league. TIL
). afternoon s sport was decided success
Y in. every way and prophesies some fin
t excitement later on in the series whe
a all the teams meet each other.
The next event in the series will
