Kauai defeated he Fifth Cavalry in
the second game Of the pDlo touna-
ment played at Moanalua ON Saturday

Cavalry Played Hard
The Cavalry played slashing, neck.
or-nothing game and their vastly i'm
proved showing surprised even their
mos. ardent admirers. They have
every reason to congratulate them
selves on their showing on Saturday
for although they lost the contest 1t
was an even break right up to the time
when the ball was shot between the
post of the makai goal for the winning
point, and they gave the Kauai quartet
such a game as they have never eX-
perienced in the course Of an expert
|ence extending over years.
Sheridan and Hanson did the bulk of
the spectacular riding and time and
time again these two valiant players
would sweep down the field resistless-
~, winning their way by sheer hard
riding. 1t was a trifie too hard at
times, in fact, and Referee Angus
could have called a foul or two more
against the soldiers and still have
been on the right side.
! Quekemeyer, captain of the team, did
yeoman work and covered the back
territory splendidly. Captain Forsyth,
willie not playing as SNOWY game as
usual, did consistently sound work
throughout the game.
Kauai Players.
For the winners Arthur and Philip
Rice were again the bright, particular
stars though Charlie Rice and Malina
showed up much better form than they
did a week ago, the former playing a
particularly aggressive game and the
| litter at times maneuvering brilliantly.
Perhaps the only criticism that can
| be made against Malina's playing as
a whole was a tendency to hold back.
Kauai had all the worst of the goal
shooting, indeed both sides were weak
at goal shots, though perhaps the
sodden state of the field initiated
against accuracy in this direction.
Field Bad For Ponies.
The ponies, trained on hard, fast
ground, became logy after a period or
two of play, as was to have been ex-
peCted. Luckily there were no serious
accidents despite the fact that the
ponies slithered and shattered all over
the shop and on several occasions I'M
shipped theh RIDERS.
To sum up, the game was a good one
from the spectators standpoint but a
Eoor one from The standpoint of good
| ! ole, there being too much digging and
/ launching up.
The rule governing the playing of
extra time is numbered fourteen in the
revised American POLO rules for 1911,
and reads as follows:
In the event Of a tie at the end of
the last period, after the usual interval
/ the game shall continue in periods of
seven and half minutes each until 4
goal or q safety has been made or a
foul penalized which shall determine
Tie game"
