SEATOUN BEAT INSTITUTE

Lack of first-time shooting in the first twenty minutes of play was the only factor that saved Seatoun from an early deficit on the No. 2 ground at the Basin Reserve, where the seasides met Institute Old Boys. Institute followed short-passing tactics and kept their opponents on the run until Seatoun worked into their combination and ran into a 2-0 lead by the spell. Hesitation before the goal ruined many promising Institute movements. The teams were: — Seatoun.—Parton: Scott, K. Yeoman; J Gibson, Salt, C. Yeoman; Wilson, D. Gendall, D. Gibson, McKenzie, I. Gendall. Institute Old Boys.—King; Watson, A. McLean; R. McLean, Boyes, Hurcomb; Marshall, Sutherland, Ward, Tan- ] tier, McNaughton. Institute clapped on the pressure from the whistle, weaving through the Seatoun defence with pretty short nasses. Seatoun could not settle down for some time, but stout work by both the backs and the halves prevented a

score. Ward, the Institute centre-for-ward, was unlucky not to score more than once, but Parton, in goal for Seatoun, was in fine form. Twenty-five minutes from the start Seatoun had found "their usual polish, and after a sprightly, forward rush Wilson dropped over a perfect centre that McKenzie nodded in. .McKenzie figured in the next fruitful attack, D. Gibson neatly deflecting his drive into the net. The half ended: Seatoun 2, Institute 0. 7 Attack after attack was launched 'by the Seatoun right flank early in the second halt and Parton had to play at his best. Marshall was playing a battling, game on the right wing, and Ward kept the inside men up to the mark.- With good combination, however, Seatoun countered, and D. Gendall rammed through a young forest of legs. His shot was deflected into the goal by an Institute defender. , A few moments later I. Gendall rattled the uprights, and although Institute came very close to scoring in their rugged and clever attacks, the game ended: — • • Seatoun 3 Institute 0.8 0 The referee was Mr. y. Wheeler.
