WEEK-END SPORTS SEARCHLIGHT BY
"VERITAS”
THREE successes by the Borderers and a day of big scores, but few surprises, featured the return of local football on Saturday to a full league programme.
NO material changes were effected in any of the league positions, except that the Royal Artillery moved to third place in Division 2, and St. Joseph's fading hopes of honours in the third division were completely extinguished by the Radio, who scored a magnificent victory.

efforts of the Police to infuse some sort of assertive understand ng into their movements, although commendable, were not too successful, and Channings was the only player by to claim a working knowledge of these principles.
