The football game last. Thursday night at Walton, which drew a large crowd, was a listless struggle as both sides were heavily checked and both .teams were using defentive tactics so that the major- ity of the play was in the centre of the field. 'In the first half Moncrieff had the wind in their favor which helped then considerable, ,giving them the edge of the play in this period. S. Ninn almost scored for Moncrieff, but his shot just, skimmed the top of the goal post. J. Johnson retali- ated for Walton; he nearly scored on a close -in shot but it went wide of the post. 0. Hoist and D. Warwick, of Brus- sels, played a good game for the los- ers. These two players were allowed to play owing to two of Moncrieff players being laid up. W. Struthers for Monerieff played a good game, stopping several gushes attempted by the Walton team. The first part of the second half both teams seemed to be fighting harder, but 'did not seem to be get- ting anywhere, the result was that inost of the play/vas in the centre of the field. L./ Steiss and J. Jor- dan' tried to rough it and were 'both penalized for two' minutes. Wlhile thele two players were off, A. Far- quharson, Walton, scored 'the only counter in a scramble in front of Moncrieff's goal. This goal pepped up the game considerably but it took the heart out of Monerieff, and Wal- ton nearly scored again on several of their rushes down the field. Walton is the winner of the North Group and will now be matched With St. Columban, the winner of.the South Group. The teams were as follows: - Walton—K. Rutledge, W. M. Den - his. M.
