Maui Well Balanced.
Rice and Collins did the sensational
work for Maui, but the team is well
balanced, and every man did his part
toward rolling up the score. Through
out the game the four players kept in
touch with each other, and managed
some clever passing that netted re-
suits. The men didn't always hold
their positions, but each knew where
the other. happened to be. and hit to
him in way that completely puzzled
the Cavalry players.
A good instance of this came in the
seventh period, When the Cavalry
started a run up the Waikiki side
boards. Forsyth and Hanson we're on
the ball. with Sheridan clearing the
way for them, and IL looked like a
determined effort to get within strik-
ing distance of the mauka goal Frank

behind and collared the ball as it
came of Hanson's stick. Without
looking around he called out take IL
Harold and hit beautiful quarter
ing backhander to Rice. who was out
side the center of play, faced toward
the Cavalry goal. sHarold took It. He
caught the willow as i came out Of
the bunch Of sticks and hoofs, and
with just two shots sent 1t through
the pillars. It WAS this sort of team
work that won the game for Maui.
Wind Factor.
The wind was much stronger than
during last Saturdays game, and
the difference between the uphill
and. downhill goals was even more
strongly marked. The Cavalry lost the
toss, and therefore started out on the
defensive, which was something of a
moral as well as physical handicap.
Hanson was the first man to touch
the ball on the throw-in, and he and
Sheridan worked it half way up the
field between them before Maui collar
ed it and sent it flying toward the Ma
kai posts by the way the ball sailed
and bounded it was apparent that The
wind was strong factor to be reckon
ed with, and that while great length
could be secured hitting with it, it
made accurate goal shooting at the
lower end of the field extremely diff
cult, owing to the speed with which
the bah moved and the u,Sculty of
riding fast enough 10 keep up with it,
and hit at the same time. 1t was real
" easier to hit goals from directly in
front of the mauka goal than to score
them through the makai pillars, but
the difficulty was in making the ball
travel up the hill and. against the
wind. The Cavalry had several
chances to hit easy goals at the upper
end of the field during the game, but
missed through over anxiety, or the
turn of the luck.
Rice Comes Chopper.

was an excellent opportunity for a bad
smash, but Rice bounded up as though
made of rubber, and was in the game
in a jiffy. His pony was more shaken
than he was, and before the period
closed he had to change Ylounts.
