instances when il looked as sthough

some OF the men. Thursdays game

How They Played.
st. Louis took the ball at the begin
ling and rushed 1t down the field to
Punahou,s bars The Oahu defense
moved lively and the leather was kept
near the middle of the field for good
ten minutes. Captain QuintaI started
his forward line down the field and
they carried the ball well into their
opponents territory where some ex-
citing playing Kept the. oulookers on
their tees. Quintal took beautiful
sllot for the net but Jansen was quick
and a good kick saved the Saints. The
s0here once more rolled towards the
buff and blue territory. where The Wis
itors took a couple Of shots with no
special result The rest Of the first
half was played away between the
middle Of the field and the st. Louis
goal and although Punahou took shot
after shot at their opponents goal the
score was NIL when the period came to
an end.
In the last half the playing was of
a liveIier nature and at one time the
Saints almost scored. In the last part
OF the half the Punahou men were
playing desperately and the st. Louis
goal was in constant danger. Once or
twice the visitors carried the leather
out again but short bit of playing
Ground the center would see it go
again into the blue and red territory
The 0ahuans were given couple Of
corners and one penalty kick besides
q number Of other chances to score,
hut try as hard as they might the ball
would not pass the bars and when the
referee blew the last whistle neither
team had scored.
