form in the Harvest Home match last
Saturday. The visitors were handicap
ped by the fact that they were riding
mounts other than their own since
Maui loaned them the ponies and fur
Their by the TACT that Arthur Rice fell
and hurt his neck before the game.
This caused a change in the line up,
Sam Baldwin going into the Oahu
team and w. A. Clark taking his
place for Maui. This does not reflect
on the playing of Sam Baldwin but
Rice knew the form of Oahu better
and the Oahu team knew Rice better
than Sam Baldwin.
Once more Edward Baldwin starred
and his playing has been the talk of
all who saw the match. With the
coaching he has had from his father
and uncles, having watched polo from
earliest boyhood, encouraged to play
and practice, he combines now the
dash and fearlessness of early youth.
He is a hard, long, accurate hitter and
a splendid and fearless rider.
Other Maui palyers were as steady
and reliable and dependable as ever.
Frank Baldwin's generalship was a
factor for the Yellow and Black in
rolling up its 11-2 score.
The Game

match though a heavy scoring one
