SAINTS CAUSE UPSET The game between St. Joseph's and the Club provided the only surprise et Saturday afternoon. the Saints running out winners by 1 goal to nil.

The Club started off with som rapid movements, but the speedy defence of Sinclair and Costa soon put an end to these early attacks. In addition to the sound defence of the Saints they had in G. Singh a very capable leader, and he was the cause of many anxious mo- ments to the Club defence.

A few minutes before the end of the Arst halt G. Singh netted the only goal of the match, which

elected two valuable points.
