K.O.S.B. HELD.

Goalless Game at Sookunpoo. Neither set of forwards in the match between the King's Own Scottish Borderers and the Police at Sookunpo proved capable of place ing the ball between the posts, and the points were shared.

Sound defensive work by the Police halves, capably seconded by Wynne and Sherry, while Clark was riving his usual brilliant display in goal, kept the nippy K.0.5.B. for wards from scoring, while the Police shooting was not good enough to cause Anderson serious trouble.
