Players Perform in Rain

the Town Team and the 1st Field Ar
/ tillery marked the continuation of the
i Towners' unbroken victorious drive.
Practically the entire game was play
ed in the territory of the Artillery,
and it was not till the third quarter
that the Artillery showed that il had
spirit Machado and Coney complete
ly demoralized the Artillery's play,
and despite the heavy number of pen
alties that were called on the Towners,
either Machado or Coney made up
the loss with few extra yards add
ed. Rice made quite few perfect
passes to Manoha during the first half,
but a typical Manoa shower made
the game heavy during the second
half, and the ball was so slippery
that not one pass took effect The
Artillery's line made no resistance to
the Towners' back field, but their back
field put up spirited game all
through.
The Towners started the game with
kickoff to the Artillery's 30-yard
line. The Artillery failed to make its
yardage and punted to Rice, who
reached the middle of the field before
being downed. Rice then made per-
feet pass to Manoha, which carried
the ball to the Artillery's 45-yard line.
In the five rushes which followed Ma
chado and Coney alternately carried
the ball Al yards total Rice then
got OFF another good pass to Manoha,
but he was downed on the 4-yard line
again. In the next play Coney fun
bled the ball The Artillery then kick
ed to Rice on their 1S-yard line. Ioane
then made two successive line bucks
which brought the ball to the 10-yard
line Rice himself went through CEN
ter on the next play for 8 more yards.
The ball was then given to Machado,
and without any apparent resistance
he carried the ball clean through their
line to a touchdown. Machado kick
ed the goal. In the two minutes left
to- this quarter there was no further
scoring, and time was called on the
ArtiIlery's 30-yard line. Score z to o
in favor of Towners.
Town Team Gains
In the second quarter the Artillery
had no better luck and was compelled
to kick at the very start. Rice re-
ceived the punt and made the 50-yard
line. Coney and Maehado then duplt

more on the 3-yard line. The first at

ed straight through the line for
touchdown. Machado failed to kick
the goal BY this time the field was
so wet that Rice's next two forward
passes were missed by Manoha and
the quarter was called without any
further excitement. Score 1870, in fav-
or of Town Team.
The Artillery entered the second
half in brighter spirits. They kicked
to Ioane, but he was downed with
out any gain. Rice could not make
any Roadway. and on the next play
the Town Team was penalized for OIL
sides. Rice again failed to advance
the ball and Ioane was compelled to
kick. De Marco fumbled the ball on
the Artillery's 20-yard line, but re
covered it again No ground was
made and the Artillery was forced to
kick, the Towners receiving the ball
on the 50-yard line. Machado then
made line smash that was good Tor

to Kaikaka and Machado failed to
make drop kick. De Marco then
succeeded in taking the ball in two
plays for yards. The Artillery then
kicked to Rice, and De Marco downed
him on the 40-yard line. The quarter
was called with no scoring.
The last quarter was very sloppy
and heavy, and except for one occasion
on which the Artillery fumbled on
their own 15-yard line, neither team
got close to their opponents goal.
FINAL score, IS to 0, in favor of Town
Team.
