dozen times, and too often the ball
was sent dangerously near their own
goal. Finally, after five minutes of
hustling play, Hanson sent the ball
through for the army's first score, to
the triumphant toOtings of the Lei
lehua gasoline brigade. A minute and
n half after the throw-in, Millikin
made the second score.
The period ended with good dis
play of the game as IT should be play
ed, the men pairing off and passing
clearly.
Oahu started the second session by
running the ball into Cavalry terri
tory and trying for the posts. Then
the hardriding Millikin got the ball
and snapped II the entire length of
the field with three cracking near
side shots, while an Oahu man tried
to ride him of. He tried for the goal
himself, instead of centering to DOak.

was lost. Henry Damon got In some
good baCkhanders in this period. and
made some good saves Oahu was
charged with its first penalty, u tech
nical foul by Damon, who, tried to
get the ball from Hanson with back
handler that reached over his oppo-
nent's pony. Walter Macfarlane, who
had been doing some heavy hitting for
the Oahus, had bad time in this pc

arm out of him. He was badly pump

Millikin Star.
The third period found Macfarlane
playing like veteran, while DR.. Bald
win did some very effective riding off,
seriously bothering the opposing back.
Millikin, however. was the bright par
ticnlar star of the session, his run for
the entire length of the field on
Freckles, for three-shot goal, get
ting round of applause from both
camps. He had a chance to repeat a
moment later, but missed his second
drive. The tables were then turned,
and the Cavalry were hard put to de-
fend their own goal from Harold Dill
lingham's determined attack. DOak
knocked Il safety. Ten seconds be-
fore time was called, there was stop
of two minutes while Doak adjusted
his ponys bandage. When play was
resumed the bell rang before players
and ponies could get fairly under way
Play was very even in the fourth.
Oahu did some clever passing, but
couldn't seem to score, the ball hit

Maclarlane hit a queer safety. when
he had plenty of time to back the ball

The fifth saw the only spill of the
game, MaCfarlane going down soon af-
ter the ball was thrown in, when
Mascot lost his legs on a quick turn.
Neither pony nor rider was hurt. Oahu
scored In this period through the ma

to Harold Dillingham;. who sent ii to
Macfarlane with clean near-sider,
the latter putting it through. Score:
Cavalry 2A, Oahu u.
Harold Dillingham; made safety
soon after the opening of the sixth and
final period, in an attempt to cross
the ball toward the sideboards. Mil
likin made another of his lightning
runs near the middle of the period,
but couldn't make II count. The
game ended with the ball in front of
the Oahu goal.
Gave All Chance.
The game was primarily intended to
give the men who haven't figured on
the championship teams a chance to
show their mettle, and in this II was
eminently successful. Harold Dill
bingham was the only Oahu man who
played on last years first team, while
for the Cavalry Hanson was the sole
representative Of last years victorious
yellows. But for the unexpected call
to take the field for inspection ma
neuvers, the second Oahu-Cavalry
game would have been played next
Saturday, with still other players in
uniform, and the final game of the
series Wednesday of next week. AS
1t is, the other two games are OFF for
the time being.
