EASTERN TAKE BOTH POINTS Club

FROM POLICE 4-2 Frequent Infringement Spoil General Progress of Game

By "SCRAMBLER"

DESPITE THEIR WIN of four goals to two over Police yesterday at Caroline Hill, Eastern should consider themselves lucky, for all three goals were scored at a period when the Police were playing with ton mon. The whistle was heard much too frequently, and due to dangerous play, no less than seven players had to receive attention.

Play was not so interesting and entertaining on the whole, although spasms of delightful play wore produced by both teams. The superiority of the winning team was to be found in the forward line, where the five players co- ordinated well together.
