Field Artillery threw the ball into pla,
and until the gong sounded the end or
the final chukker, there was plenty Of
action and many exhibitions of COOL
craftsmanship as well a. an occasional
dash Of fast polo on the part Of the
several players.
Hardly As Fast
The game was hardly as fast as the
one played between the Army and Maui
aggregation. The soldiers showed the
effects of the strenuous playing in the
previous game and moreover, several of
their best mounts were unit for use.
This made it necessary for the Army
four to rely on green horses and the
players were unable to show their real
worth. At that they scored two more
goals against Oahu than they did
against Maui, but the s0ahus scored
three more goals against the Army
than did the Valley Islanders.

While the Army line up was the same
rs that which, played Maui, the local
aggregation was different, in that Ron.

At back. Single was a bit soft after
his years lay off and did not begin
to show his real worth until the fourth
period. Then he got into the game

excellent polo. The rest of the Big
Four, Macfarlane, Dillingham; and Cas-
tie, were in good fettle and when fore.

up their shots as they did against
Mani. The inexperience of the mounts
greatly hampered the Army players and
it was easily seen that they were not
playing the game they are capable of
playing.
Hard Riding Period
With the putting of the ball into
play, Oahu started to hard ride the
Irmy four and with the close of the
first period had scored three goals.
Walter Macfarlane was the first to re-
GIVE the ball and he quickly passed it
to Dillingham;. A drive of fifty yards
toward Oahu 3 goal was the result of
us play and as Single kept Beard
