Quite a sensation was created at the Race Course where the PTH. handed a beating to the Seaforth Highlanders, the final score being 4-1. A fairly large crowd that attended the game were surprised to see a determined School eleven go all out to defeat the highly favoured Scottish eleven.
The School were without Archie Logan, who wás married last week, but H. Kidby, who took his place as right back, justified his inclusion and played a game worthy of the First Division standard. The Seaforths, too, missed Gilmour and Smellie and their places were taken by Ross and Spiers.
The Scots seemed to be-highly demoralized after their defeat at the hands of the Lusitano last week and played without spirit. None of their previous brand of football was seen and there was no cohesion among the players. Had it not been for MacDonald, their left back, the score would have probably been still greater for he saved his goal on several oe casions when it was almost sure to fall. The School played tops football and every player rose to the occasion.
The forward line combined well, while the half-backs gave little liberty to the opposing forwards. Cochran and Passikides, playing at centre-forward and inside left respectively, shared the School's goals between them and the first named played a good game throughout, although he missed at least one certain he shot into Atkinson's hands from point blank range. The game deter-lorated towards the end, although the Seaforths did score their only goal ten minutes before the end.
