A drop kick from the twenty-yard
line by Quarterback Hall during the
last minute of play, won the game
Cor the Town Team in their gridiron
battle with the Schofield Barracks
eleven at Moiliili Field yesterday af.
ternoon. Resorting at times to for
ward passes and trick plays, both
teams raced up and down the field
during the four quarters, each en-.
deayoring, either by strategy or
straight football. to rush the oya!
over the goal line. and until the last
minute of the fourth quarter ii looked
as il there would be no score by
either side. When the Townies were
within ten yards of the Soldiers goal,
Hall stepped back and, With pretty
drop from the twenty-yard line, sent
the bali sailing over the heads of
the men from the barracks, and
straight between the uprights. civ.
ing victory TO his team by a score OF
3 to 0.
Nearly five hundred people saw the
second game between these two ag-
Gregations, and the weather condi.
tions were perfect for football, bar
ring the slight showers wnici made
their appearance at intervals, driving
the spectators off the sidelines and
into the grandstand. The excellent
game put up by the soldiers was q
surprise to many, but as they went
onto the field with practically a new
lineup save for a few members of the
team. who starred in the first game,
1t could be plainly seen by the way
they played that their coaches had
rcmedied the faulty spots mat pre-
vailed when they first tried their skill
against the townies. The boys from
Schofield also put up clean game,
but at times they were a little stub
Referee Schuman. They adhered the
greater part OF the game to straight
football without using any of the
frills, bringing the line rnsh into play
and using the skintackle and end run
only a few times. When they saw
fit to use the forward pass. they were
usually more or less lucky in getting
gains out of it, a and the enGs did re.
mafkabIy wei in following them up
and also in running down punts.
The Townies played with practical
ly the same lineup as was used in the
first game, and played with their
usual clean style. The line deserves
special mention for the way they
held the so:diers down when that team
was twice within ten yards of their
goal line. The Townies outpunted
the men from the barracks and in
many cases made good gains on this
account The forward pass was used
very little, but it also proved to be
gamer. While each of the former
stars played for all that was in them,
Hall, FrieselI. Cyard and Desha bore
the greater Jrunt OF the work in the
back field Hall handled the team
with the skill which has been brand
ed in the veteran of many gTidiron
battles, and his punting and passing
were treat to the lovers of the sport,
| Cyard was d: the bottom of every
play which the Soldiers worked, and
he tore OF the yards each time the
pigskin landed in his arms. Bill"
Inman, the Punahou tackle, who was
elected at the last moment 10 play in
that position for me Town Team yes
terday, played a fine game and show
ed that he has lost none of the old
| training. He was the cause of the
Soldiers losing more than one play
of what might have been gain.
For the Soldiers, Baugn was per.
haps the individual star. Time and
again he was given the bali, and rush
ing through the center of the Townies'
line made gain after gain. Lowndes,
who played quarterback until he was
| forced to retire on account OF a
slight injury also played a good
game, and handled, the team well.
"Pinkey" Pastori, the lightweight
end, was there with the goods in every
play, and did a lot of good work in
getting down the field under punts.
Medphys, Reynolds Captain Green
away Regenier and Wacder are also
credited with having done good work.
The Soldiers played a great game,
and did their best in their endeayor

have the satisfaction of knowing that
it came in the form Of a mighty
