Guardians of Law Upset Seaforths

Soldiers Whitewashed, Though Team Puts Up Stiff Resistance After surprising football fans with victories over S.R.C. and S.F.X, the Police scored yet another bigger upset, perhaps the biggest of the season, when they whitewashed the Seaforths, 4-0, at the Racecourse yesterday. The lawkeepers were easily the better team, although the Seaforths put up a stiff resistance. The game was rather uninteresting, as most of the late season games are, and produced but a few thrills. The Police were well served by Bader's opportunism and it was this player who scored three of the four goals.

SMP.:—Bulpin; Victal Stangaard; Westwood, Duffy, Roliz; Woodley, Mc-Aloon, Bader, Chooklantseff, Fonseca.

Seaforths.—Cameron; Spiers, Campbell; Smellle, McCusker, McShannon; MacDonald, Gilmour, Fraser, Duncan, Murphy.

The Police were the first to attack and Bader threatened the Seaforths' goal with a shot that was well saved by Cameron. The Police played determined football, however, and were continuously on the attack with the result that Bader scored for the Police some fifteen minutes after the start. The Police centre-forward received the ball from McAloon and, beating the Seaforths' defence, lodged the ball into the corner or the net.
