FIRST MATCH ON NEW
FIELD GOES TO MAUI
Maui 6. Oahu PEA.

Maui o, Oahu "a.
The third polo match of the present
season between Maui and Oahu was
played In a drizzle of rain en- the new
Maui field Saturday afternoon and for
the third time the Valley Islanders
walked Of with the long end of the
score. Strictly speaking. 1t was not
an Oahu team that took the field, but
as David Fleming. the Maui player
who went in at back for the Invaders,
is undoubtedly stronger man than
Oahu could have put in the game, his
presence merely accentuates Maufs
present polo superiority.
The new field is located about three
miles southwest OF the old Sunnyside
field, and while It has great Dossibili-
ties, II is still very rough. the ball
travelling in a series of jumps and
short hops that made much Of the hit
ting a matter of luck. A rough field
discounts speed for there can be no
advantage in getting away fast with
the ball when bad bounce will cause
the player to miss and the opposition
to close up. OF course. both sides
were affected by the condition OF the
ground but the rough feid probabE
worked more against light PLAYERS,
such as Castle, Sam Baldwin and Wal
ter Macfarlane, than against the heay-
Ter men who depend more on hard
hitting than fast mounts and snappy
stick work.
There was no scoring in the first
period although Maui had the ball
hanging round the Oahu goal most OF
the time and had several chances to.
put II through the posts. Oahu made
a few long runs down the field, but,
YVES unable to convert.
Oahu got on the scoreboard first,
Sam Baldwin scoring with q pretty
shot Just one minute after the ball
had been thrown in over the side
boards.
For two minutes more the Oahu de-
tense held well and then Frank Bald
win broke through for a clean goal, at
a difficult angle. A minute later Maui
increased this lead when Harold Rice
carried the ball up the field. cut It
across from the sideboards and after
getting 1t too far across the goal cut
It back again through the posts. 1t

style. The game was stopped. while 1

piece of team work toward the end of
the period scored another goal for

or to clear the way for Frank Bald
