(From Thursday Adyertiser.)
In the inaugural match Of the Inter
Island polo championship series at Mo
analua Field yesterday afternoon, the
Oahu four scored decisive victor,
over the aggregation representing th'
FIRST Field Artillery, the final scor,
reading l4ls to Az in favor Of tn
local team. e
From Iayman 3 point Of view tn,
contest was far from being q spectaca
lar one. and after the first period thu
battle developed into one between ex
perienced players against players who
lacked experience and whose only Tea
lures were gameness, willingness and
ability to stand up under q most Cruel
ling onslaught from their opponents.
As the two teams went to the cen
ter OF the field, 1t was seen that tn,
Oahu contingent was better mounted
and after the bah went into play thes'
same mounts showed superior know
edge Of what was expected Of then
than did the. mounts of the Artillery
Tho players representing Oahu wer
the harder, and while they missed tn
ball coptinually and failed 10 play wit
ne brilliancy displaycd in previou
matches, they kept together a Who'll
lot better than did the soldiers, AM
team work was far more prominen
among the oahuans than it WAS wit
the Artillery.
individually the Artillery playe
polo, but collectively they failed t
follow up advantages, and time an
again let golden opportunities slip b
them. These shortcomings are due :
lack Of continuous playing together
aud when the team has rounded to forr
and become more familiar with eae
other 3 style Of play, one can look foi
ward TO the soldier team playing niue
faster aud better polo than they di
yesterday.
