Victal and Woodley, the Police fullbacks, covered the goal admirably, their' first-time kicking and close marking of the S.F.X. attack undoubtedly contributing the major share in the result.

This achievement unquestionably proved the turning point in the game. for without the centre-forward's shooting boots, the S.F.X. could not score, and their sole point was, in fact, gained through the medium of a spot-kick.
The football was not of a high standard—both teams were too tense to permit constructive movements—^ut while the Saints had the edge over their opponents in speed and omibination particularly in the second period of the game, it was the Police, strangely. enough, who scored the goals. Quick breakaways along the wing caught the S.F.X. defence off guard on two occasions, while the third goal was a somewhat lucky achievement, Sammy Greenbergs low drive from a free-kick unexpectedly slipping through Premet's fingers.
