Inaccurate footwork, poor possi and complete lack of defensive tactics caused the downfall of Clube Lusitano in their match on the Race Course yesterday with the S.F.X. The School won by seven goals to one and should have won by an even greater margin, but the surprising weakness of their opponents seemed to have the effect of making the S.F.X. team treat the game as a walkover. Towards the end the school took things too easily and it was only the poor marksmanship of the Clube forward line that prevented the score from being more even.
UBE LUSITANO:—Rosario, Gon-Oliviera, Costa, Silva, zaria, Xavia, Rozario and -X.:—Kabbert, Schultz, LaKovsky, Greenberg, Petterson, Artchegoff, M: Kellar, Foyn, Karolitch, Schultz, Edwards.
The School kicked off and went straight into the attack. They did not score immediately however but spent a lot of time passing the ball about in front of the Clube's goal where they met with little resistance.
Foyn started the scoring with a beautiful headed shot into the goal froma centred pass by Edwards, Within twenty minutes Edwards and Schultz had brought the score up to three nil and their opponents were getting erratic in their efforts, Marcel, usually a tower of strength in the Lusitano defence could do little to stop the rot and was very much below his usual standard of play. The Lusitano forwards too were not up to their usual form and missed chance after chance, more often than not passing the ball to a school player.
