FOUR AGAINST 18
IN FOOTBALL MATCH.
MELBOURNE, July 30.
In the last quarter of a football match in Melbourne to-day, four players, after their team mates had left the field owing to rain, continued to play a full team of 18. The match was a Police Association game at South Melbourne, between Southern Suburbs, which had a full side, and North-western Suburbs, which had to begin the game with 15 men, and lost the services of another player at half time. The Southern Suburbs team was drawing further and further ahead in the last quarter, and rain was becoming heavier and heavier. The North-western Suburbs men realised the hopelessness of their chances, and soon only four of them were left to see the game out, against overwhelming odds.
