SEAFORTH WINS St. Columban football club last Saturday was pondering a protest to the Huron Football League officials over the scoring of a 1.0 victory by Seaforth on a penalty shot in the final game for the championship of the southern division Friday night. Referee Jack Armstrong oi' Blyth awarded Seaforth a penalty shot when a St. Columban player touched the ball with his hands while lying on the ground inside the goal area. John Rolland took the shot for the visitors and his kick found the c -or nee of the goal for the only tally of the game. St. ('olunaban-s protest is based ni the grounds that a penalty kick is awarded only in instances where a player commits a foal to deflect the ball from its coarse while it is on the way to the goal. St. Columban club officials claim the ball was not moving in the direction of the goal nor was it directly in front of the goal when the foul occurred, there- fore the penalty kick , should not have been awarded. The incident occurred at about the three-quarter mark. The ball had been kicked in from a corner kick anti two Seaforth forwards and a St. Columban defence man rushed for the ball. The three crashed and went hurling to the ground. When he was on the ground the St. Columban defence man swung his arms around and one of his hands hit the ball. Referee Armstrong called a foul and (warded Seaforth the penalty shot which gave them the game and endear one of the most ]ceenly-contested 800' cer series seen in this part of On- tario in many years. More than 1,000 people attended the game, the third of the series for the southern division championship, with the winners to meet Atwood. if Atwood and Brussels reach an agree- ment on some difference which has arisen between the two clubs over the playoffs for the northern division title. The game was close and hard fought from the opening kickoff until the final whistle blew. After Seaforth scored the winning goal as the game drew to a close, St. Columban pressed the attack but the Seaforth defence was good and held until the end of the game. So close was the game, and so evenly matched were the teams, that very few shots were made on either goal. The defence men carried out their work well and the forwards were constantly checking their op- ponents to prevent any unexpected break -away. St. Columban took the first game in the best -two -of -three series and Seaforth knotted the count a week ago Monday night, forcing the third game for the division boners. Seaforth—Bell, T.

Following the Seaforth St. Callum ban H.F.A. game on Friday night for the south group football title, St. Columban send in a protest to Secre- tary A. W. Dick of the Huron League. A statement of defence has been made by Seaforth. President John Sutter was to select a committee of three from the North group on Wed- nesday night to (hear the protest, and a decision will likely be made by Fri- day. It is therefore not likely that any game will be held this week end. Brussels defeated Atwood 2-1 at. Brussels on Wednesday night. The two teams will meet again on Friday bight. These games were agreed on to settle disputed playoffs in the North group. The St. Columban protest fs 1)5 follows: 1 hereby in behalf of the St. Colima ban football club enter protest as to the referee's decision regarding a play which resulted in •t penalty kick Wittig awarded to the Seaforth team, in the game played at St, Columban un Aaguet 4th, 1511', between at. Columban and S ntforth. Our con- tention is that the St. Columban player in question was charged from behind by a Seaforth player, causing said player to be knocked to the grouted on top of the hall. which in all fairness vmaid uc r e sitate the St. Columban team being awarded a free kick. Play should have been called 10 this point. There is no TITIPStei as to the de- liberateness of this said back -check, which was viewed by some of the best unbiased sports in the name of fool. Thetbalintention of the player is judged by the referee who at the time in question was in the centre field vicinity. Owing to the large crowd and the fact that the Seaforth linesman was also more interested in coaching the Seaforth team, various members of the crowd last trach of the play in the momentary excitement. However we obtained the opinion of respected unbiased spectators who have followed football from away back. and the reversal of the referee's decision was a complete shock to them.
