The Odd Goal in Three

Soldiers Weakened by the Absence of Many Players: Jack Scores'

Fine 25-Yard Drive By "Bcawrnrob"

HE Shanghai Municipal Police confounded critics when they defeated the Durham Light Infantry in a league game played on the Race Course yesterday by two goals to one. The play was inclined to be scrappy due to the fact that the Police defence were inclined to indulge in football's biggest blunder: the over-kicking of their forwards instead of placing the ball on for them.

The Durhams were inclined to take things easy, and' chances. were needlessly cast aside at times.

The losers failed to field their full strength, Fulton, Bolan, Hay and Robinson being absent.
