DESPITE THEIR WIN of four goals to two over Police yostorday at Caroline Hill, Eastern should consider themselves lucky, for all three goals wore scored at a period when the Police were playing with ton men. 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 spasma of delightful play were 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.

KEN OVERLIN RETAINS MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE

Steve Belloise Out-Pointed

NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (UP).The veteran Ken Overlin successfully defended his Middleweight boxing title against young Steve Belloise to-night by winning the decision after an unexpectedly dull 15-round contest which caused continuous booing by the 6,000 spectators.

There was not a single knock-down, and the bout was marred by almost continuous clinching and mauling.-
