KAMS BEAT MALES At SOCCER

According to the play as shown on
Saturday afternoon in the soccer
match between the Kamenameha team
and the Males it would seem as if the
Males will have to get together a
great deal more before their chances
of winning the seasons pennant will
appeal to the fans who are interested
in the game.
The last practice matches of the sea-
son took place on Saturday, the Kams
and the Males meeting at Kameha-
meha and the High School and Puma
hou at Alexander Field. The High
School beat the Puns and the Rams
best the Males, the last mentioned re-
suit coming as a considerable sur
prise. The Rams are not in the lea
que, more's the pity, as after their
play on Saturday their presence in the
league would have added a great deal
more interest to the play.
The students are a fast aggregation
land there is the makings of good
association team there, for all that is
required to put the team upon higher
plane is that the lads be advised as to
the finer points of the game. They
have the necessary pace and are vim
full of energy but good deal of their
energy is wasted in fruitless kicking.
If they were coached to take more
heed to the positions of the rest of
the team and were to practise passing
more there can be no doubt but that
the team would soon be challenging
the best in the island AS it is; how
ever, despite the loose kicking, the
Rams Melted two goals against the
Males on Saturday and prevented the
Males from scoring, though it must
be said that the Males missed sew
eral good chances which under or
binary circumstances would have re-
suited in a score or two.
The Males had the sun behind them
and down-hill course in the first half
but these advantages awaited them not
as from the kick off the Rams entered
upon a vigorous attack and did not
let up until the final whistle blew. In
defending from an attack on the right
Melanphy conceded a corner kick to
the Kams, but the ball went behind
the goal line and was kicked out by
the goal-keeper F. Bailey and Yea
man were responsible for a neat run
down the field jus tafter this, beating
all opposition until within few yards
of the goal line, when Dailey centered
the ball. The kick was rather hard
but was taken by Dwight, who mis-
kicked and put the ball behind the
Kams' line. The first score came af-
ter ten minutes play and was due in
some measure to Anderson failing to
clear a high kick. He headed the
hall which went almost straight up in
the air and the Kams massed beneath
it waiting for it to descend. In the
melee for the ball Noah secured and
put in singing kick which gave the
goal-keeper no chance.
A good run down field by the Males
gave promise of a score. Dwight and
H. Bailey were in the van, but the
latter fell back too far and missed the
pass, thus enabling Apau to get the
ball up to the Kan forwards, God
frey and Noah passed the Males hal
yes without difficulty, and drew the
