Soccer Teams‘ play, Hard game A large crowd, one of the largest seen at Victoria Park in a long time, turned out yesterday after- noon to see a thrilling game of soc- ccr which was played by two teams- of the Royal Air Force stationed here. Masters of the game which is so popular in England, the boys from overseas put. on a real exhi- bition as they "booted" and "bunt- nd" the ball about the field using their feet and heads to good ad- vantage. The game resembles football with tire basic difference being that in the former the player endeavors to carry the ball towards the opoon- ent's goal while in the latter he is not allowed to touch the ball with his hands but must kick or play it with his head or elbows. Two picked teams. the Blues and the Reds. battled it out to a z-all tie yesterday in a fast and rugged game tho! produced plenty of action from the opening whistle un- til both learns walked frcm w- field at the conclusion 0f the alloted time.

Several plays by Iouis, Checkliey and McPherson, which followed soon after. ended in a corner but was well cleared. Collins made a spectacular save when Scott let go with a good shot. Reds were pressing hard with a very good forward line ably led by the dashing centre forward Hughes, who ran through orge more but failed to score. Play was fast and exciting. Tay- lor showed up well but ‘was held in check by the Red defence which was very good. A dangerous shot. by McPherson was saved by Collins. At half time the score was: 119d! l; Blues 0. uwfs was playing a good game. once more he trnnncd the ball. beat two opponents and scored a growl goal by placing the ball in We corner of the goal, putting his side two up.
