MAKAWELI WINS FROM KOLOA
IN FAST CLOSE SOCCER GAME
The Makawell team continued Its
winning stride last Sunday when
they took the measure of the Ko
loa team by the score of 1 to 0.
Koloa put up a good game
against the Redskins and with a
little more luck would have tied It
up, Makaweli's goal was something
of a fluke, but they had a slight
edge on the Koloa team all during
the game.
The Koloa forwards have shown
considerable improvement during
the past year and they still have
their old time speed. The backfield
has also improved for it can be
Been that any team that can hold
Makawell to one goal in their first
game of the season has a fairly
good defense working already.
Makawell is one of the teams
that is going to be right up in the
running this year, if their early
season form is any criterion. The
Redskins have a good team and
they are developing better team
worw than any team in the lea
gue. Caesar of Koloa was forced to
retire from the game with a twitted
ankle.
McBRYDE AND KEKAHA
PLAY SCORELESS TIE
McBryde and Kekaha played a
fast scoreless game in the other
game of the doubleheader at Elecle.
Kekaha has shown a world of
improvement over their first game
with Makawell and the west end
team is going to be heard from.
McBryde forced the fighting
throughout the game and several
times almost scored, but the ball
would hit the post or the cross
bar and bounce back into play.

BULL - DOGGING A STEER FROM
LIHUE DEFEATS MAKEE IN
SOCCER PRACTICE GAME
Lihue soccer team won its first
practice game of the season when
they defeated Kapaa team on the
Lihue field by the score of 3 to 1.
The playing of both teams was
very ragged and it will take a lot
of practice for either team to show
any form when the season opens.
Lihue looked very weak in the
half-back line, as these backs show
ed a tendency to play back to far
and did not back up the forwards
when the latter were in Kapaa ter
ritory. Makee showed they lacked in ex
perience, . but there is plenty of
speed in their forward line and if
they can learn to handle the ball
a little better, they will be heard
from.
Lihue has a fast forward line
also, but the same can be said
about them as about Makee. There
is a need for better handling of the
ball by the forwards. Makee's backs
were by no means experienced yet
they were able to take the ball
away from the forwards and break
up the Lihue attack without much
trouble. All of Lihue's goals were
long shots and luck was a big
element in their scoring.
Unless Lihue shows a decided
improvement the cup will go to the
west side of the island at the end
of the season as this year's team,
the way it performed last Sunday;
certainly is not of championship
caliber.
Makee has the speed and the
fight but a soccer team cannot be
made in one year out of green
players and there is hardly any
possiblity of the Kapaa soccer team
following in- the footsteps of the
baseball team this year.

AN AUTOMOBILE
CORNELIO AND LOPEZ;
KID ROJOS AND KID TOMAS
TO MEET ON, RIZAL DAY
Although the Kauai Smoker Club
announced that Kid Lopez and Young
Cornelio would meet in the main
event on January 13 and that Kid
Rojos and Kid Tomas would meet
in the special event, there is a pos
sibility that these bouts may not
be pulled off ns the Filipino Associ
ation has signed up the same events
for their Rizal Day celebration at
Waipouli and If any of the four
fighters are beaten by a wide mar
gin it will mean their elimination
from the Kauai smoker program.
If the boys put up a good battle
on that day the loser will be given
a return at the smoker, as none of
the boys want to lose a match, and
they are training hard for the Rizal
Day battles.
Kid Rojos, who meets Tomas, Is
anxious to show the fans on Kauai
that he is capable of holding his
own against boys of his own weight.
Rojos deserves a lot of credit for
going against Cornelio at the last
smoker and before the match was
given a chance to withdraw on ac
count of the difference in weight,
but the Koloa boy stated that the
bout had been advertised and he
did not want to disappoint the
crowd.
The preliminaries at the next
smoker will be an improvement over
the last one, as the boys who are
to appear, have settled down to
real 'training and are out to become
main eventers.
Among the newcomers on next
month's program will be Joe Silva
of Waimea. Joe will meet a Fili
pino boy from Kealia that Kid Max
imo is grooming for the match. Joe
made quite a name for himself at
the smoker held In Waimea last
spring by his slam-bang tactics. Joe
makes no attempt to box but goes
in and slugs his head off when he
starts.
The other newcomer on the card
will be another Waimea boy, Kid
Oyama, 'who meets Kid Hesus of
Kealia. Hesus won from Young
Alao at the last smoker by a wide
margin, but he will have his hands
full when ho tangles with Oyama.
Oyama curries a wallop in each
hand that is a marvel for so small
a man and he, like Silva, goes at
top speed from bell to bell. This
