Williams Gives Club Points

Wretched Football Seen At The Valley

FARROW'S GOOD DISPLAY

(By Outside Left).

ONE of the worst, if not the worst exhibition of First Division football was witnessed yesterday afternoon on the Club_ground when the Police, conquerors of the Artillery, former League leaders, went down to defeat at the hands of a depleted Club eleven by a goal to nil.

The commencement of the game gave promise of an over- whelming win for the Police, but their forwards had evidently left their "shooting boots" at home and many golden opportunities were thrown away.

After a quarter of an hour's play it became very evident that the first team to make a clean breakaway would score, but this did het take place until the middle of the second half when WILLIAMS put the finishing touches to a solo effort by E. Strange.

The Pile brothers were the best players in the Pulice team. and both worked hard to put their team ahead, but their efforts proved un-) avalling and lacked support. Chan- ning also played a sterling game, but was inclined to be selfish.

This seemed to be the most com- mon fault among the Police team.

For the Club both Watson and Williams worked hard in the forward line. In spite of working the E. opening for the only goal, Strange was perhaps the most selfish player on the field. He ap- parently wanted to play the

game

by himself and many a time threw away opportunities by refusing to pass to Williams.
