Playing against ten men in the first 25 minutes and forging into a three-goal lead, the United Hockey Club trounced the Seaforth Highlanders at the Race Course by a lop-sided score of 6-1 to maintain their lead in the First Division of the S.H.A. League.
The game was fought under a steady drizzle with the United team showing marked superiority in all Dhasés of the contest. F. Kermani displayed rare form in shooting as he tallied three pretty goals. Murray and Veir were also in good form for they broke into the soldiers' defence time after time. Murray had the misfortune of missing at least two sure goals towards the close of the match, but Veir was there to score two times. The other point was netted by Waldman.
The intermediate line did not encounter much difficulty to check their opponents. In the first 25 minutes when the Highlanders mustered only four forwards the three halves were seen playing an all attacking game. Collaco and Pate in the back-line did Sterling work and they covered in such fashion that Goalkeeper Jones handled the ball but once in the whole 70 minutes. In the second half not one ball passed the goal line. 7
