By a narrow margin, the Seaforth football team nosed out the Brussels squad in the first of the anal games for the Huron championship at Sea - forth last Friday night. Neither team scored in the first half, nor did either have much of an advantage over the other. Fox of Brussels was injured in the early part of the first half but was in the game for part of the second. Seaforth missed on a foul shot about half -way through the first part and from then on the play was from one end of the betel to the other. Van Bell. Seaforth's goalie, made a nice save toward the last part of the period and the half ended with no score. A very unfort- unate accident occurred in the first half when Edward Jarman, retired farmer: who has been living in Sea - forth, dropped dead. In the second half, Seaforth enjoy- ed a decided edge on the Brussels team. In the opening minutes of play, H. Nicholson kicked the ball on the top bar, and a few minutes later C. Messenger kicked the ball over the top of the goal. From then on, Riley in the Brussels goal had a hot time and at last, with about three-quarters of the last half gone, John Flannery scored on a pass from Frank Sills during a scramble in front of the goal. Brussels put on a power play from then on till the end of the game but failed to score. Line-ups: Seaforth: Goal. Bell; backs, D. Sills, T. Sills; halves, Gemmell, Hol- land, J.
