Defeating Kauai in the most spectac
ular game ever seen on Moanalua
Reid, Oahu won the FIRST game Of the
1911 series, yesterday, by. score Of
6-1l to S-94, losing one half point
on foul by Harold Dillingham;, and Ka
uai scoring safety in the last period
which cut their total down u Of a
point.
II was a game long to be remember
ed in local polo circles, and it was just
team work that made Oahu the win
ner yesterday, Kauai playing a more
brilliant game when it came to indivi-
dual work, but beng lacking in the
essential team work which wins games.
Not for four years has such a game
been seen in the regular tournament,
and that was when Maui and oahl
played with first one side and then the
other ahead so that it kept the specta-
tors breathless from one period to an
other.
Oahu at Finish.
For the first two periods Oahu was
in the lead, then for four more Ka-
uai had the top score, only to be beat
en- out in the last two periods of play
by Oahu, who came off theTvictors.
Hundreds Of spectators thronged the
eide lines and the slopes Of the field,
and there were as many Kauai rooters
present as there were Oahu fans.
Cheers and automobile horns applaud.
ca in unison as first one side and then
the other forged ahead, and the bril-
liant individual plays each called forth
cheers and applause from the crowd Of
spectators.
The feminine portion of the specta
tors was much more enthusiastic than
the mase1line, although there were
those of the latter who clenched their
nan Is and held their breath as the ball
approached the goal of one or the 9TH
er of the teams by some spectacular
bit of play.
Kauai was Fayorite.
Kauai was the fayorite when the
game commenced and wagers were
made with odds as high as five to one
on the favorites, although three to one
was the prevailing fglre.
For Oahl, Harold Castle did the most
spectacular work with Walter Dilling-
ham close second, Harold Dillingham;
third and Bob Atkinson last.
Kauai honors were abo1t evenly
divided with Malina and Charles Rice
to the fore with the other Rice boys
evenly matched for third place.
The Game
In the first period Harold Dillingham;
made the first and only goal, four AMI
one-half minutes after play commenced,
and in the second there was no scoring
done by either side.
Kauai missed several heartbrealSing
goals, both Charlie and Philip Rice
missing the coveted territory within
the first three minutes of play of the
first period.
Walter Dillingham; was thrown from
his horse in the second period, AMI the
half ended with the ball in Oahu terri
tory although neither side was able to
score.
In the third, MalIna made the first
goal for Kauai within the first min
ute and a quarter of play, and Arthur
Rice scored another one minute and
three-quarters later.
Foul Is Costly.

this period which cost the Oahu players
y point, and when the third period end
