If the Males can defeat the Puma
Lous next Saturday, in the final soccer
engagement OF the season, there will
be a tie for first place between The
former team and the Healanis. Be
fore last Saturdays games this was a
very remote possibility, but now the
situation is not unlikely 10 occur.
A double surprise party was tend
cred the soccer fans on MOiliili Field
last Saturday afternoon, when the
Male eleven beat the crack Healani
team by a score of one 10 nothing
and the hitherto slow High SchOcl az
gregatiOn took the Marines into camp
by similar score. The results OF
the two games completely turned
things around, as the odds were strong
in favor of the HealaLiS and nobody
ever expected the highs would win.
The game between the Males and
of the afternoon, and, despite the
rough tactics which prevailed at
times, making the game look more
like a rugby contest, it was by far
the best one which has ever been put
up by those two aggregations7 this sea
son. There was large crowd out at
the game and at, times enthusiasm
among the supporters or the two
teams ran wild, shifting from the spec
tators to the players and then back
again.
The second game of the afternoon
was a rather tame affair, but the sur
prise came when the Highs scored
against their opponents. AS usual,
the Highs made their appearance with
only eight men, but luck seemed TO
favor them as the score will show.
Males Show Class.
The curtain raiser of the afternoon,
the game between the Males and the
Healanis, was called at quarter past
two O'Clock. The Males won the toss
and chose the makai goal with the
wind and sun at their backs. With
their customary good tactics they
soon had the ball In their opponents
territory where 1t was kept for some
time. until lucky boot by one OF
the Healani contingent sent it. hurting
back into the middle or the. field,
where some hard and fast playing
took place. AS q result of the Hea-
lani forward line being unable to work
in any combination plays the Males
continually forced the. play. Near the
end of the first half, George Quintal,
halfback for the Males, was carried
eff the field suffering with what was
believed at first to be broken leg,
Tut which turned out to be badly
sprained right ankle This was the
first accident which has happened On
the soccer field this season.
The removal of Qulntal left the
Males one man short, as there were
no other players available. The Hea'
Ianis began to play with renewed in
r terest. and a pretty kick by Rowatt
nearly scored for that team, but the
ouick work of goalkeeper Patty saved
the day for the Males. Shortly after
this try, McKinlay tried for low
! shoot, but again Patty was equal to
y the task, recovering the ball and send
ing il out into the middle OF the field.
THE whistle blew at this stage of the
game announcing the end of the first
half and the score stood nothing TO
nothing. 4.
Greig and Oakley, the Healaniz for
wards, opened the second half with
some clever combination work, taxing
the hall steadily up the field toward
the Males goal, but Anderson, at cen
ter. failed to take the opportunity, and
no goals were tried for. The ball was
then shot toward the Healani goal, and
n penalty kick was awarded by the
referee. Bailey took the kick. and,
following up the, ball, booted it into
the. net scoring the only goal OF the
game, With the Males leading by
one goal. the Healanis, pressed the
fighting and several times nearly sue
ceeded in scoring. Patty again showed
his ability as a clever player by. block
ing a low swift shot from Greig.
Inst as the whistle blew for the end
of the second half, Coombe headed
the bali past Patty. who, hearing the
whistle, let it go into the net uneon-
tested and the game ended with the
Males having scored one goal to
their opponents none.
Marines Don't Score.
In the game between the Highs and
the Marines, Klemme, forward for the
former team, scored the only goal OF
that contest. Both teams played with
all that was in them and at the END
Of the first half it was evident THAI
no score would be made by either
side. Five minutes before the whistle
plew for the end of the last half, the
HIGHS we're surprised TO find that they
we're the victors, although they were
not half as much surprised as the
snectators on the sidelines.
