LITTLE EVIDENCE OF SEASONAL GOODWILL ABOUT THIS GAME

By I. M. MacTAVISH

There was little evidence of seasonal goodwill about this Christmas Day game...in fact it was a most undesirable and untimely demon- stration of soccer desperation. This big game was marred by the simple fact that some of the players were not nearly as big as the occasion, and I believe that it will stand to the credit of the near capacity crowd that the afternoon passed off without major incident beyond the touch line.

For this manner of things St. Joseph's and Referee Lomax must accept the major part of the blame. The Saints looked the better set of ball players but time and again, both in defence and attack, they left us wondering why they should pre- judice all their promise by senseless and profilless tactics that often incurred awards against them, and of course raised the wrath of the spectators to a high pitch.
