SOCCER MAN
BREAKS A LEG
Mon Yin Met With RegrettabIe
Accident on Football
Field.
Standing of Interscholastic League:
Rams, 2; Aliiolani, O.
High School, 8; Punahou. /

Everybody who takes an interest in
sport, from Aala Park to Alexander
field, will regret to hear that Mon Yin
had leg broken by an unfortunate
-'"cident in the soccer game yesterday
:: fternoon. A player on the other side
missed the ball and struck Mon IS shin
hard enough to break the bone, and he
had to be carried off the field He
was taken to his room in the college
buildings and doctor was sent for,
who set the bone. Luckily, it is a
simple fracture, and the good little
athlete will only have to wait while
the slow process of mending goes on.
There is no fear of any complications
of any sort and the leg will be as good
as new after the bone has joined.
There were two fast and exciting
games in the second days play of the
interscholastic series on Alexander
field yesterday afternoon. The Alto
1ani boys put up a wonderfully game
sight against the bigger Kan boys and
allowed only two scores to be recorded
against them.
In the second game the Punahous
scored first and it looked as though
they were going to run away with
the victory, but Andrews, for High
School, scored later in the half, and
in the second half, playing one short,
the college suffered two more goals to
be recorded against them, both put
through by Andrews.
his victory puts the High School
well in the lead of the series and makes
things look as though they had fine
chance for the championship. When
they meet the Kams, however, they will
have to play up hard, as the lads from
Kalihi way have mighty strong team.
The feature of the afternoon was
the forward passing of the High School
in the second half. Marcallino, An
,drews ana Norton worked splendidly
together, while Sing Hoon and Purvis
backed them up well. Purvis, by the
way. looks as though he had fine ma
terial, and some of the soccer league
managers had better keep their eyes
-ou him.
The Aliiolani boys put up very
game fight against big odds and are to
be congratulated on the showing they
are making in the series. They can
hardly expect to win the championship
but the way they are holding on and
keeping tried opponents from running
up large scores is really wonderful when
one considers the size of the school and
the youth of most of the scholars.
The present soccer series IS turning
out to be great success and is bring
ing out new material as well as some
excellent playing. The class of game
nut up Yesterday was great improve
ment over that of Friday, largely due
ito the level ground on which the games
were played.
