kauai POLO TEAM
OUTPlAYS THE ARMY

and machine-like team work com
bined to aid the Kauai Polo club over
whelm the All-Army team by a score
of 90 to 1 at Kapiolani park Wednes
day, says the Star-Bulletin The game
was the first of the inter-sland pole
tourney of 1920.
At no time was there the slightest
doubt of the Kauai superiority. From
the first scrimmage, when the bal
came out of the ruck toward the goa
defended by Army, and passed through
an instant later, the red shirted riders
had things their own way.
But Army did not weaken. Despite
the newness of their mounts. the su
perior training of their opponents, and
several misfortunes which cost them
goals by the narrowest margins, the
Army quartet fought its hardest
throughout.
Big Crowd
Honolulu society was on hand in
full feather. Both grandstand and blea
chcrs, lately moved closer to the scene
1 of the play, were crowded to capacity
Feminine waists of pink, white, blue
and green found fitting chromatic ac.
compartment in the masculine white
and khaki uniforms and the variously
| colored hot weather suits.
Ahead and to the left sat the 18th
Cavalry band, a circle of brown
against the turf With Diamond Head
as background across the field more
than so automobiles were lined up
Each was filled with spectators no
less enthusiastic than those in the
stands, who honked horns wildly at
each we'll driven goal.
Have Odd Man
From the opening of the game Kauai
took and kept charge of the ball. Pass
| ing from man to man or driving far
down the field with a single mallet
stroke, the red and white team kept
perfect control of the play.
An uncanny faculty for having a man
on hand at each stragetic point was
marked in the work of the Kauai ag-
gregation. Did the ball emerge front,
back or sideways from scrimmage,
there was always a Kauai horse wait
ing to dash after the pellet instantly.
By such teamwork the visitors gave
the impression of having at least two
more men in the field than did the
Army.
Important in this connection was
was the defense work of the Garden Is
landers. While keeping always in po-
sition to go after the ball at any mo-
ment, the Kauai men showed great
ability in Tending off the attempts of
their opponents to get into the play.
Time after time j. Malina, Kauai's
husky kept one or more Army men out
of play by careful placement of his
pony while he himself was free to
swing his mallet at will.
