Show Excellent Teamwork Throughout Thrilling Match

only In spots did one see the bright
polo tactics which earned him the
title of one of the leading players of
Hawaii. He was always in the play,
but the Oahu offense proved to be so
strong that his play. with the excep-
ton of the midfield work. was dis
counted
Watch Castle
Maui was watching Harold Castle.
He made a number of misses. but
throughout the match he was riding
them out, and especially in the third
period on Buttons, after hard ride,
made beautiful goal which upset
the Mani contingent Maui planned a
defense for Castle. and despite the
fact that his mounts were not of the
best at all times, and taking into con-
sideration the play that was blocked
for him, he played great polo. At
times the hard riding No. came out
of the pack and once took the ball
near the goal, raced down the field
and scored.
Maui did not win because their de-
Tense was not up to the standard of
the Oahu team. 1t was in this partic-
ular that Arthur Rice starred On
five different occasions the Maui
forces knocked at the door of the
Oahu goal, and on five different occa-
sions Rice came to the rescue and
made great saves. 1t was this partic-
ular feature of the play that spoiled
/ the Maui chance for a victory. On one
occasion Maui had the ball within a.
foot of the lattice, but with a two
goal lead Rice sent the ball over the
line for a safety Two minutes later
Rice made a nice backhand for a
save.
Arthur Collins rode hard through
ont the match, but Arthur Rice out
generated the Maui No. on enough
occasions to give the Oahu players the
advantage. In three periods Collins
played up to the standard, and made a.
hard fight for victory in the last peri
cd, but excellent defense on the part
of the Oahu contingent spoiled the
/ play. ...: ~ +.
Quick Silver Injured.
Oahu began the match with dash
and in the second period the visitors
more than equaled this with some
hard riding. In the third period Dill
/ bingham on Helen c was all over the
field, playing his short game and pass
ing from every angle In the next pc
Rod Quick Silver, one of Dillingham;
best ponies. was injured. and accord
! ing to DIR. Monsarrat, will be unable
| to play this year. .....
| The Oahu teamwork was fully up
| to the Oahu standard, and although
| the Maui team were: favorites, the
advice TO watch the Oahu teamwork
was not lost by many who played
Oahu to win. 1t was a great match
throughout, and the midfield work
and playing the boards were in line
with the play in the shadow OF the
goals. 1t might truthfully be said
! that the match was an offensive one
! from beginning TO end with only the
! defense of Oahu to mark the differ
ence in result. Maui had banked on
stopping Dillingham; and Castle. and
! while they were playing these tactics
| Macfarlane and Rice were unusually
busy. ........
/ Army Next
/ If the army aggregation had high
hopes of an easy win on THURSDAY
they have perhaps changed their at
titude. The Army have a great team
of fast riders, but they must remem
Der they are meeting the two best
! PLAYERS in the islands and two others
! who might figure with any other duo.
! This in itself will be Il factor. True,
