OAHU BLUES HAVE ANOFF DAY
but BEAT THE REDS HANDILY

/ invaders should see Oahu playing fast
polo.
This quality of putting up the best
article when it is most needed was
shown in the matches with the Cavalry
1.-TWO months ago. when the Oahu four
got together and played real polo from
bell to bell. The team plays better
against strong opposition than against
manifestly inferior teams. for. instead
of playing their own game and walking
right through weaker force. the play
ers seem to be put off by their oppo-
nents' mistakes. and to get right out of
their stride when the men playing
against them fail to do the obvious. The
Blues are strong against strength. but
their play against weakness could Inn
prove lot.
Reds Handicapped.
At that the Reds that lined up
against the first four Saturday are by
no means to be belittled. They proved
a weak combination, but not q eofIibi-
nation of weak players. and their fall
ure to score was largely due to the
fact that six players were cutting in
and out, and that no sooner would one
combination get going in some sort of
form than it was broken up to make
way for another. There was some fine
hitting, and some SNOWY runs, but far
too much hanging on the ball for scor-
ing purposes.
s. The Cavalry squad, consisting of
Captain Forsythe. captain. and Lieu
tenants; Sheridan, Hanson, Doak and
Millikin, is camped at Moanalua and is
practising hard for the coming matches.
The Yellows aren't overlooking any
points in preparatory work. and their
showing in the championships is sure
to be creditable, win or lose They
are hard at it every afternoon and seem
to be hitting the ball harder thaif1ever.
Following was the line-up of SatIE-
days practise game:
Blues-S Baldwin, III. Castle, w.
Dillingham; and A. Rice.
Reds-Dr Baldwin. Lieutenant An
drews, Arthur Jones. II. Dillingham;. r.
w. Shingle and Henry Damon.

NATURDAY'S polo game between
Oahu,s first team and the fastest
combination that could be drawn
from the ranks of the other regu-
lar players was a rather disappoint-
ing exhibition, and did not show the
Blues at their best by any manner or
means. The result, 5 IL to Q, tells
little about the play. for both sides
missed many chances to score which,
on anything but an "off day" would
have resulted in sure goals. Both
teams seemed demoralized, and at no
time did either side. get off on the
right foot for continued run OF clean
polo. There was a lot of punching on
the ball, and while there was some
brilliant Individual hitting to redeem
the day, team work was conspicuous
by it's absence
However, no matter how the Oahu
team plays in practise, it is capable of
putting up very fine exhibition when
its best efforts are eaf1ed on IN the
coming tournament. which is only two
weeks off.

Captain Walter Dillingham; after Sat
urday's game. and. at that he seems
to have hit the nail on the head There
is plenty of time for the PLAYERS to
get together again, and if the team
strikes twelve at tournament time, 1t
will be better than if the maximum was
reached now, with the consequent
strainaof keeping up the pressure.
Team of Veterans.
The Oahu team this year is composed
of veteran polo players who are all
most likely to play their best in hard
matches. Sam Baldwin. Harold Cas-
tie, Walter Dillingham; and Arthur Rice
have all played the game for years and
the first named three have played to-
gether in their respective positions for
a long time. They know what to do
and how to do it, even if they don't at
all times practise what they preach,
and the first match against the Maui
